On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) stated that Republicans are playing “the crime card” and “it goes back to Nixon’s southern strategy. It’s got racial elements to it.” But that “doesn’t mean that crime is not an issue. It doesn’t mean that we’re not focused on it.”
Murphy stated, “Listen, the other guys play the crime card relentlessly and shamelessly, it seems every election. And the facts and their portrayal of the facts are in entirely different places. That doesn’t mean that crime is not an issue. It doesn’t mean that we’re not focused on it. But I will just say, in New Jersey this year, violent crimes, shooting, homicides are all down meaningfully, between something like 15 and 30%. We invest deeply, not just here, but as a party, in the relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve. We invest in law enforcement. So, they’re really good at playing the card. It reminds me — frankly, it goes back to Nixon’s southern strategy. It’s got racial elements to it. Let’s just call that for what it is. And here we go again. It’s — I feel like it’s a movie that we’ve seen time and time again and they’re pulling that card out again this time.”

(((YAWN))) Lighten up, Murph.
Gee, look
Another rich White Boi cowardly running to msnbc with his lies
Where he knows he won’t be challenged by his butt brothers
That dude needs to see a dentist.
We are supposed to accept the assaults, thefts, rapes, and murders because the great-grandparents of the perps were slaves. and because our skin reflectance roughly approximates that of the people who 157 years ago were mostly not slaves.
So actually Murphy is the racist. If you talk about crime, they must be talking about blacks.
“I’ll trump your crime card with this RACE CARD!”
-Democrats
While you guys play the race card, the extremist, Nazi, fascist card every day.
Communists lie when the truth is convenient.
Not “playing the crime card” when so many victims are Black is pure patronizing racism. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Murphy. Try not to let your racism show so much in future.
Who is committing the crime dumbass?
Hey Murphy is that nut job still shooting cops from a rooftop in Newark?
Maybe you should focus on that.
Yeah, you're "focused on" causing and allowing it.
It’s got racial elements to it
Well then, exactly who's committing all this "black on black" crime?
...and yes, Phail Murphy, it DOES mean you're not focused on crime.
A good demonstration of how to say you’re a racist without saying you’re a racist.
I want the criminals LOCKED UP! I dont care what color they are!
Period.
If liberals have an issue with that, that’s what elections are for! and let the best ideas win!
LMAO!!! Not gonna work, Murph. Go drown your sorrows with a Guinness.
No more posting perp pics and videos you all. Can’t show the majority offenders anymore:-)
Perhaps but thats only because 12% of the population is responsible for 50% of the crime.
Phil Murphy is a moron. He violated his own covid rules to march with BLM. He banned plastic bags in NJ, which is ridiculous.
