Soccer Gives Us Another “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” Phil Murphy Moment

Governor Phil Murphy, a guy who basic mathematics tells us paid professional women soccer players less than $15 per hour while he was running for governor on the promise of $15 per hour, now says he thinks women should be paid the same as men.

Don’t forget there was also that time Murphy wanted a sport scientist to come to his team as an unpaid intern. And, there’s the fact the two top draft picks by Murphy’s soccer team wouldn’t sign because of the team’s record of poor treatment of women.

And, now, suddenly Murphy believes women soccer players should be paid the same as men. As the owner of a women’s professional soccer team Murphy has had many opportunities to fight for exactly that. Did he? The evidence, paying at least some women on his own team as little as possible, even less than $15 per hour prior to the 2018 season, forcing young women to live with an elderly man who repeatedly made inappropriate comments to the players and made them feel uncomfortable, and more suggests he didn’t fight for equal pay.

According to NJ.com Murphy, on the issue of pay for professional women soccer players, said:

“Affordability shouldn’t be the question,” he said. “The question should be: What’s right? As long as the Federation … is on the right side of history — and we’ll do everything we can to make sure they are — the rest of this will work out.”

Obviously, the Murphy track record is completely different. It looks to me this is just another Phil Murphy “do as I say, not as I do” moment.

PRESS RELEASE: Camden County GOP Chairman: Whose Side Are The Democrats On?

Camden County GOP Chairman Rich Ambrosino has apparently grown tired of Democrats constantly asking each other “whose side are you on” and today asked, “Whose side are the Democrats on?’ Ambrosino’s press release on the issue follows:

Camden County GOP Chairman: Whose Side Are The Democrats On?

New taxes, increased taxes and sweetheart tax incentive deals help no one

HADDON HEIGHTS – Recently Assemblyman Lou Greenwald issued a statement asking “whose side are you on” to which Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino wondered, “Whose side are the Democrats on?”

“While it’s been somewhat amusing to watch the Democrats fight their civil war, I find it laughable they keep asking each other ‘whose side are you on,’” CCGOP Chairman Rich Ambrosino said. “I, my county committee and residents of Camden County want to know whose side Camden County Democrats are on.”

“Every time they tax us we wonder whose side they’re on, gas tax, rain tax, vacation tax, money to illegal immigrants to go to college, money taken from our veterans are all things that have been supported by Lou Greenwald and his fellow Democrats.” Ambrosino added, “And let’s not forget their support of shifting tax dollars out of the suburbs with sweetheart tax incentive deals that moved corporations out of Cherry Hill, Voorhees and even Burlington County.”

Ambrosino asked, “Who did all these taxes and sweetheart tax incentive deals help? Whose side was Lou Greenwald and his fellow Democrats on then?”

Answering his own question, Ambrosino said, “Certainly not the taxpayers and certainly not folks in Camden looking for jobs.”

“For New Jersey’s Democrats to keep asking ‘whose side are you on’ is ridiculous,” Ambrosino said. “It’s obvious they aren’t on the side of the taxpayers. I assure everyone, across the board, from our assembly candidates in the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th districts to our county freeholder candidates and our candidates at the municipal level our candidates are on the side of the taxpayers. When Republicans win the tax increases and sweetheart tax incentive deals will stop.”

Phil Murphy Sides With Illegals Again

Phil Murphy

I don’t know how I missed it, but Governor Phil Murphy celebrated the 4th of July by signing an executive order to create a state Office of New Americans.

It sounds nice. The Office of New Americans is supposed to help “immigrants and refugees.” But when you dig deeper into it the truth is quite different. From NJ.com:

Murphy cast the moves as his latest broadside against Republican President Donald Trump’s administration.

“While the federal government takes action that prevents immigrants from seeking the American Dream, New Jersey will fight for our brothers and sisters and stand against the hatred and bigotry coming from Washington,” Murphy, a frequent Trump critic, said in a statement.

“Immigrants are an integral part of our state, and enrich our communities socially, culturally and economically," the governor added. "Through these new measures, we will continue to sustain our progress to build a fair and inclusive state for all.”

“While the federal government takes action that prevents immigrants from seeking the American Dream…” is a lie. The truth is the federal government is working to prevent illegal immigration. Legal immigrants are welcome to come to America and seek the American Dream. Everybody knows that!

Again, according to NJ.com:

Murphy, who has repeatedly vowed to give more state help to immigrants, said the Office for New Americans will be the first statewide office to focus on integrating immigrants and refugees into New Jersey.

“More state help to immigrants?” Obviously, given his remark about the federal government preventing immigrants from seeking the American Dream Murphy is talking about helping illegal immigrants. Imagine that, a statewide office to help illegal aliens.

This madness has to stop! Republicans have to get off the sidelines and get out there and work hard to elect our candidates for Assembly…and this year our state Senate candidate in LD1 too!
