New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy made headlines after claiming in an interview that he had an illegal immigrant living in his home, an assertion touted as a sign of his progressive values. However, this claim quickly unraveled when his staff retracted it, clarifying that he was referring to a legal immigrant who never lived with him. This episode reflects not just an attempt at virtue-signaling but also raised questions about political integrity and the backlash such fabrications can evoke, ultimately undermining trust within both liberal and general constituents.
...there's someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to and we said, 'You know what, let's have her live at our house above our garage.'
And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.
...Murphy's staff had to clean up after the boss (again), sending out a flack on Monday to admit the gov had made the whole thing up.
His lame fib wound up insulting not only the people of New Jersey, but even the lefties he was addressing.
