TRENTON, NJ — New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy posted a tweet asking New Jersey residents to repost pictures with dogs without harming them, which was initially confusing. It made absolutely no sense to most people who are not following the infighting between far-left radicals like Murphy and Right-wing Republicans.
“Post a picture with your dog that doesn’t involve shooting them and throwing them in a gravel pit,” Murphy tweeted.
It was a bizarre post that had no context.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy stirred controversy with a recent tweet that appeared to mock South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem over her admission of having to shoot her family dog.
After researching his cryptic message, I learned that Governor Noem recently defended her decision to euthanize an “untrainable” family dog, a story she shares in her forthcoming memoir. This revelation has drawn criticism from animal rights groups and some political figures. Murphy’s tweet seems to be a direct jab at Noem, juxtaposing her actions with his call for more humane treatment of pets.
The tweet has sparked a broader discussion, with some critics pointing out Murphy’s controversial policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly his directive for nursing homes to accept COVID-19-positive patients. This decision, according to critics like SaveJersey.com, led to a significant number of deaths among senior citizens in New Jersey, highlighting a perceived inconsistency in Murphy’s stance on life and ethics.
The exchange highlights the ongoing political tensions and politicians’ use of social media to engage in public discourse, sometimes leading to unexpected controversies and debates over broader ethical issues. It also highlighted the bizarre radicalism and splits between hyper-political politicians such as Governor Murphy.
