Governor Phil Murphy Allows Trump Derangement Syndrome To Guide His Decisions On Illegal Immigrants

Phil Murphy

It’s no secret Governor Phil Murphy sees border security in a different light than those who actually live along the border. He has made New Jersey a Sanctuary State. My guess is that it’s because the Governor, like others suffering Trump Derangement Syndrome, only speaks to people who agree with him.

The Governor even went so far as to release a statement on January 8th claiming, “President Trump continues to mislead to justify his nonsensical and damaging shutdown.” As a reminder, below is the Governor’s full statement from his website:

“President Trump continues to mislead to justify his nonsensical and damaging shutdown. There is a much better and smarter way for us to invest $5 billion than an impractical non-starter of a wall. The Gateway Project would do more to create jobs, promote economic and national security, and build critically needed 21st century infrastructure. Enough of the misguided rhetoric that is hurting our economy and our people, and making us less safe. Let’s get the government open and get to work to get Gateway done.”

For Phil Murphy to refer to the current government shutdown as “nonsensical” is ridiculous and proves he doesn’t seek opinions from those who think differently than he does. Calling a wall “impractical” is just as dumb.

The fact is there are some very serious issues along the border with Mexico, especially in places where there is no barrier. New Jersey, and other sanctuary states, make those issues more serious because more people cross the border illegally and then make their way to sanctuary states.

Just last week we had folks living near the border with Mexico on The Bob & Steve Show to tell their stories. Imagine finding hundreds of pounds of illegal drugs stashed on your property. Imagine waking up at 4:00 in the morning because someone decided to walk into your house. Imagine having to always carry a gun “just in case.”

That’s all reality for a lot of folks who live along the border with Mexico. Governor Murphy doesn’t care. He wants more people to sneak across the border and come hide out in New Jersey all because he hates President Trump.

Maybe Mr. Murphy might take the time to listen to The Bob & Steve Show this week and hear from more folks living along the border with Mexico. He might learn something.

PRESS RELEASE: Fiocchi Weighs In On Code Blue Controversy

There was some back and forth over Code Blue preparations in Cape May County. The dust up was covered in the Cape May County Herald here and here.

Former Assemblyman and candidate for state Senate in LD1, Sam Fiocchi, said in a social media post that “Real leadership is needed in the 1st Legislative District.”

Fiocchi also issued a press release on the issue this morning. The press release follows:

Andrzejczak And Land Accuse Cape May County Of Not Doing Enough During Code Blue

Attacking county government is a failure to lead

VINELAND – Recently, state Senator Bob Andrzejczak and Assemblyman Bruce Land released a statement that, for lack of better words, accused Cape May County of not doing enough with regard to Code Blue announcements. Their joint statement forced Cape May County Freeholder Director Gerald Thornton to push back with a statement of his own.

“I was always under the impression it was the duty of our legislators to represent our counties in Trenton, not attack them,” Sam Fiocchi said. “I found it a little odd that state Senator Andrzejczak and Assemblyman Land would use the recent cold weather to issue a statement attacking the Cape May County Freeholder Board.”

“Rather than attacking Cape May County’s freeholders by insinuating not enough was done after announcing a Code Blue Andrzejczak and Land should have been working toward solutions.” Fiocchi added, “The fact is the Code Blue legislation the two of them authored amounts to an unfunded mandate.”

“If Andrzejczak and Land truly wanted to be sure counties could handle Code Blue situations perhaps they should have argued against Governor Murphy setting aside $2 million for the legal defense of illegal immigrants and used the money to fund Code Blue situations.” Fiocchi said, “Unfortunately, that would have required real leadership, something sorely missing in LD1.”

It Appears New Jersey Press Is Starting To Get It

Phil Murphy

Here at The Bob & Steve Show we’ve been screaming about Phil Murphy’s dismal record on his treatment of women for months. Back on August 14, 2018 The Bob & Steve Show promised in a blog post, “If New Jersey’s press is going to continue to let Murphy off the hook for the horrible treatment of the women on his soccer team and his hypocrisy on pay and gender equality then The Bob & Steve Show will do our best to keep reminding New Jerseyans of the BS Murphy is feeding us.”

And, we’ve kept that promise, writing about Murphy and his hypocrisy on the treatment of women and pay and gender equality at least 29 times in five months.

I can’t tell you how many times we’ve discussed Murphy’s mistreatment of women on the radio show.

Based on recent headlines it appears the press in New Jersey is starting to get it. A Star-Ledger editorial, “Lift the gag rule on women in Murphy campaign,” Another radio station with, “Phil Murphy has a problem with women” and a Star-Ledger column, “Governor: Women legislators want the gag order lifted, too,” are just a few of the recent headlines to get our attention.

Sure, it’s taken the bravery of Katie Brennan and more recently Allison Kopicki to get New Jersey’s press to start asking questions.

We’re just hopeful that now that some in the NJ press are paying attention to Murphy’s hypocrisy on the treatment of women they’ll keep asking questions. Understandably all the questions being asked now have to do with the administration and his gubernatorial campaign, but don’t forget about the soccer team because there’s a long history of mistreating women there, too.
