Gov. Murphy Rips ‘Fool,’ ‘Knucklehead’ Rep. Gaetz for Violating Social Distancing Rules: ‘You Are Not Welcome in New Jersey’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “I can't believe this. On social media this morning, from the New York Young Republican club that allegedly snuck into Jersey City last night to hold a gala fundraiser after they couldn't find a venue in their own city due to the pandemic. So from the videos on social media and certainly this picture there is no obvious attempt to enforce social distancing or face masks, even though wearing masks indoors in New Jersey is mandatory at organized gatherings when individuals are not eating or drinking. It is beyond the pale that anyone would willingly endanger people in another state, never mind their own. It is also beyond the pale that a member of Congress -- actually go back if you could -- would participate in this, and that is -- no, I want you to go back to the group if you could -- that guy in the middle, the tall handsome fella in the gray suit, that is Representative Matt Putz, sorry Matt Gaetz, and based on his past performances, it is obvious being a knucklehead is not beyond the pale for him. He was actually Sarah Palin's back up act for this event. Now if you go to the next kind of a scene, that's Matt again earlier this year. Kind of a scene out of Dr. Strangelove. What a fool. He and they should be ashamed of themselves. He is not welcome -- I hope you’re watching, Matt. You are not welcome in New Jersey and frankly, I don’t ever want you back in this state.”
