Webber Chastises Murphy over Lack of Social Distancing at Rally

Assemblyman Jay Webber (R-26) over the weekened excoriated Governor Phil Murphy for participating in a police brutality protest.

“Shops closed, ballfields empty, graduations and weddings cancelled, but Phil Murphy doesn’t have to social distance when he has something important to do? Hypocrisy at its worst,” Webber wrote on his Facebook page along a photo of the governor, masked up but not following social distancing procedures, at an anti-police brutality rally.

From 101.5 FM:

Gov. Phil Murphy attended two Black Lives Matter protests Sunday — a show of solidarity with protesters seeking racial justice even as he’s more broadly urged people to stay home in the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The same day, an attorney representing two New Jersey women who’d been issued summonses for their own peaceful protests — not over racial issues or police brutality, but over the governor’s own business shutdowns — told New Jersey 101.5 his clients will sue Murphy, calling enforcement of the governor’s stay-at-home orders arbitrary.
