TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has a reputation for being somewhat of a flip-flopper. Some might even say he’s a hypocrite.
He tells us not to drive gas-powered cars, but then buys a fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs. He said to stay indoors during COVID-19 and stay out of restaurants. Then, on two occasions was seen partying in restaurants. He tells us to lower our carbon footprint but lives in a huge waterfront mansion in New Jersey, owns an Italian Villa, and jet sets around the world.
But we have to draw the line on the hypocrisy when Murphy tells us to feed the bears.
Here’s a man who openly tells us all that he wakes up each morning and “eats the a– out of a bear”, but tells us, we can’t even feed the poor bears, even after he’s eaten the a– out of them.
What gives?
This is the height of hypocrisy if you ask me.
“Residents are asked to be alert and watch for black bears as the bears forage for food ahead of their winter den season. Though most of New Jersey’s black bears live in the northwest portion of the state, black bears have been sighted in all 21 counties. Please take steps to secure trash cans and other potential sources of food,” the Murphy administration said in their weekly newsletter on Friday. “Bears that find food in residential neighborhoods may learn to associate people with food. These bears may then become nuisances that cause property damage, seek handouts from people, or become dangerous. Intentionally feeding bears is illegal in New Jersey and carries a fine of up to $1,000.”
And if you didn’t hear it the first time, he’s proudly boasted about his favorite morning pick-me-up a few days later.
