If Phil Murphy was serious…and rep[orters knew how to ask questions…All Phil Murphy had to explain is if he cares so much about Democracy to please to everyone how Kamala Harris ended being the Democratic Nominee. That is the exact opposite of Democracy to throw Biden under the bus. Missed opportunity BIG TIME

What’s the surprise?? He’s the typical Democrat politician, and taxing people to death to fund their liberal projects and activities and taking away your G-D given rights to self defense, is part and parcel of who they are.
