Durr: Where’s Murphy’s Vigil for Nursing Home Victims, Aborted Babies, Families Devastated by Unemployment Failures?

Governor Should Show Same Concern for New Jerseyans That He’s Showing for People Thousands of Miles Away

With Governor Phil Murphy set to attend a prayer vigil this evening for those suffering in Ukraine, Senator Ed Durr asked when the governor is going to show concern for thousands of nursing home victims, aborted babies, and families devastated financially by his administration’s unemployment system failures.

“The people of Ukraine are suffering horribly right now and they deserve all of our prayers,” said Durr (R-3). “While I’m glad Governor Murphy is supporting New Jersey’s Ukrainian community during this difficult time, I have to ask where’s the vigil for the nearly 10,000 victims in New Jersey’s nursing homes and veterans homes? Where’s the vigil for the countless babies who will die under the abortion bill he just signed into law? Where’s the vigil for the tens of thousands of New Jersey families that were destroyed financially when his administration failed to give them the unemployment benefits they were owed?”

“Governor Murphy should show the same concern for suffering and grieving New Jerseyans that he’s showing for people thousands of miles away,” Durr concluded.
