Opinion: Murphy — ‘Bill of Rights is Above My Pay Grade’
Most of the time NJ Governor Phil Murphy is interviewed, he's rarely challenged as hard as he was on Wednesday night.
When he is, he makes a "note to self...don't go on there again".
He made himself that note right after he concluded his interview with Tucker Carlson on FOX News Wednesday night.
Carlson was extremely cordial and didn't try to badger Uncle Phil or corner him with any 'gotcha' questions. He simply asked him to explain a few things that a lot of Americans and more importantly New Jersey residents would like to know.
We can't continue in this shutdown much longer without a collapse of some kind. Folks are starting to get restless and Murphy is likely to face more than a tough interview on cable TV soon, if he doesn't loosen his grip on our rights as free citizens.
