Despite Donald Trump’s landslide victory, Democrat Governors are already planning ways to hinder the incoming administration.
In a Q&A following President-elect Trump’s victory, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy warned he will “fight to the death” against the administration if he detects behavior “contrary to our values.”
“[A]s we respect the peaceful transition of power, if there is any attack on the Garden State or any of its communities from Washington, I will fight back with every fiber of my being,” Murphy said.
“If there’s an opportunity for common ground, we will seize that as fast as anybody,” he conversely added.
Watch:
State Assembly Minority Leader John DiMaio (R-Hackettstown) told Fox News Digital that Murphy is “missing the message” voters sent Tuesday with the initial rhetoric.
“It’s time for the governor to recognize that his values may not reflect the values of New Jerseyans as widely as he assumes,” he said.
“While Murphy is prepared to spend resources on political battles with Trump, it’s hard to see how that aligns with the priorities of struggling families, working taxpayers and business owners who want more focus on their needs,” DiMaio said.
What a hoot – coming from the gub’nor of the most historically corrupt state in the United States.
What till disaster hits state then cries for aid
I lived in NJ long enough to see at least 2 governors end up in PRISON due to corruption.
Does Murphy UNDERSTAND that most of NJ voted TRUMP???? Even Atlantic City was mainly red/MAGA
NJ is a horribly corrupt state, regardless of whether run by Repubs or Democrats.
Bridgegate and Sandygate under fat arse, big mouth Christie. HE should have gone to prison too.
BTW, NJ in general is a pretty rich state. Where I used to live, the average PER CAPITA income was $500,000 a year and average house was over $1MIL and I am talking a 2 story farmhouse under 2000 sq feet on a 50×150 lot.
