TRENTON-Apparently, legal gun ownership in New Jersey is a big problem for one percenter Phil Murphy and the National Rifle Association is no better than Hollywood producers who sexually assault aspiring actresses.
After being caught with his hand in Harvey Weinstein’s cookie jar, New Jersey Millionaire and Wall Street mogul Phil Murphy said taking Weinstein’s money is equal to Republicans taking money from the NRA.
“He was going to be part of something,” Murphy said of the Hollywood icon who has been shamed in recent days over his accused thirty-year pattern of sexual harassment against women. “We heard there was something happening, we dropped him…and canceled the entire event.”
Murphy immediately accused Guadagno of getting money from the National Rifle Association. Murphy says the NRA has supported Republican candidate Kim Guadagno, giving at least $65,000 to the candidate.
“I find that unconscionable particularly since what happened over the past 9 days,” he added, invoking the Las Vegas massacre. “Let’s make sure we’re focused on the facts.”
Murphy said he hasn’t taken a dime from Weinstein, whose reputation in Hollywood had proceeded him for decades as a womanizer. Weinstein did not say how much money he intended to take in from Weinstein after meeting with him, along with Hollywood loud mouth liberal, Robert DeNiro in August.
TRENTON-Did Democrat millionaire Wall Street executive take nearly $30,000 in cash from disgraced Hollywood icon Harvey Weinstein? That was a topic of debate at this week’s gubernatorial debate between Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno and Wall Street mogul Phil Murphy.
This week, an avalanche of Hollywood claims of sexual harassment against Weinstein poured down through media with claims going back decades against him.
Guadagno called upon Murphy to give back the $28,500 the accused serial sexual harasser donated to the Democrat National Committee during his tenure as finance chair between 2006 and 2009. Guadagno claimed Murphy lied into the camera and lied to the people of NJ when he tried to distance himself from Weinstein.
“He raised $$$ from Harvey Weinstein as DNC finance chair,” Guadagno tweeted.
He claim against Murphy has since been confirmed by Federal Election Commission Filings.
Murphy also admitted he was scheduled to appear at a fundraiser for Weinstein.
According to the New York Post, Murphy met with Hollywood’s liberal loud mouth actor Robert DeNiro for a meeting in which Weinstein was present. The trio allegedly discussed hosting a Hollywood style fundraiser to be hosted by Weinstein to raise money for Murphy’s campaign.
The meeting took place on August 24th, weeks before Weinstein’s decades of sexual harassment in Hollywood by Weinstein rose to the surface.
Both DeNiro and Weinstein were planning on endorsing the Wall Street millionaire.
Despite soliciting the accused sexual offender to raise campaign funds, Murphy is now calling on all Democrats to return the money donated by Weinstein.

The following is an a column from the Star Ledger regarding Democrat Millionaire Phil Murphy’s dodging of questions regarding how he will raise the billions of dollars he seeks for more government funding if elected for governor next month.
Just before the big gubernatorial debate in Newark Tuesday night, I ran into my old sparring partner Jim McGreevey in the hall. He was just there to watch. But Democratic nominee Phil Murphy sure could have used his advice. McGreevey was a master at ducking questions. Once the cameras came on, Murphy showed no such skill.…
