Assemblyman Paul Moriarty’s Statement on Clueless Chris Del Borrello and His ‘5-Point MAGA Manifesto.’

“The MAGA Manifesto released by Fourth District Republicans today should be titled ‘Radicals Oath to Bring Southern MAGA Republican Politics to New Jersey.’

Clueless Chris Del Borrello doesn’t have an original thought in his brain. Division, fear, and fanning the flames of extremist culture wars are all he’s got. Someone must ask Chris if the Fourth District Republicans borrowed their playbook from the Mississippi Republican gubernatorial campaign.

The voters of South Jersey are more intelligent than you believe them to be, Chris.

These are the facts: New Jersey has the best schools in the nation because parents have always had a strong voice in education matters. We’ve empowered parents and local districts with sound policies and well-established processes to ensure they can decide what is best for their students.

I’ve always stood on the side of parental rights. I spoke out against the State Board of Education’s Equity Code Vote. I demanded their membership return to the drawing board and find a reasonable consensus after deep, thoughtful partnership between educators, parents, and students that will be impacted.

Respect for law enforcement and first responders has long been a strong New Jersey value. I’ve sponsored legislation signed into law protecting our police and first responders.

Republicans like Matt Walker, who, in a backroom deal, voted to cut public safety funding resulting in the closure of a local fire station, has done nothing but imperil public safety and put first responders at risk. And you, Chris, wanted to cut police funding in Washington Township and had to be dressed down in public by the Washington Township police chief, who said he was insulted by your comments.

You claim to be the party of Public Health and Safety, but your policies do nothing but cause crisis. I’ll stand up my record supporting our police and first responders any day against Del Borrello and his band of fools.

Despicable Del Borrello is nothing but a rubber stamp for radical, extremist policies. He is out of touch with the needs of South Jersey residents, is in over his head on economic issues impacting our region, and does not have a plan to tackle real problems facing our State.

This contract is a preview of the Mississippi and Kentucky-style MAGA Republican politics they’ll bring to New Jersey if elected.”
