After photos circulated on social media and a local Monmouth County news site claiming to show Gov. Phil Murphy dining indoors at Jersey Shore restaurant in violation of his own coronavirus shutdown orders, the governor offered some sharp criticism Monday of those who were quick to call him a hypocrite without all the facts.
“If someone out there implies that, ‘Hey, even he’s doing this, so that means you could do it.’ If one person gets infected as a result of that or if one person goes to the hospital as a result of that or, God forbid, ... someone’s life is lost as a result of that,” Murphy said. “That’s blood on their hands, man. I don’t know how you can live with yourself.”
Murphy dined at Martell’s Water Edge in Bayville on Saturday night and posted a short video with his wife Tammy as they sat under an awning during a torrential thunderstorm storm that swept through the area. The Murphys and other patrons at some point sought refuge in an outdoor bar and seating area under a fixed roof with television mounted to the ceiling that’s part of Martell’s waterfront tiki bar.
At least one photo showed him masked. The person who posted the image did not accuse Murphy of violating the indoor dining order and later clarified that it was an outdoor portion of Martell’s, despite acknowledging he’s not a fan of the governor.

If one person dare do as I do, then blood be on their hands??
What a worm. It is unfortunate that he is not up for re-election this November. By November 2021, most of the people will have forgotten about all that he has said and done during this COVID hysteria. Not that he doesn’t stand a very good chance of being re-elected no matter what he says or does. I mean, this is NJ after all...
It’s good to be the king and pee on the peons
Live by social media, die by social media.
But, if you are the one who infected that one person then, meh, c’est la vie, right?
Murphy is the worst of the worst.
Methinks thou protests too much.
So apparently the fact check is that he dined outdoors rather than dining indoors. He dined. That’s the Takeaway, that they didn’t order take away.
So he is doubling down on his stupidity and hypocrisy? Calling out those that were criticizing him, by saying if anyone defies his orders then there is blood on their hands???? What about the blood on his hands for violating his own policy? I don’t get his logic and I doubt there is an explanation for it.
Just MI’s Half-Whitmer going to her cabin up north while demanding everyone else stay home.
I hate that Nazi puke.
The serfs need to rise up and dispose of the dictator.
Elected officials are mostly scum.
