An aide to New Jersey’s Democrat Governor Phil Murphy was recently caught on a sting video saying that Murphy is going to announce a vaccine mandate once he is safely reelected.
This is the sort of thing that voters should know when they’re heading into the voting booth.
The admission by the aide indicates that Murphy knows it would hurt his chances to be upfront about this issue.
New Jersey 101.5 reports:
Videos secretly filmed by a conservative activist group show campaign aides who are working to re-elect Gov. Phil Murphy saying that the governor would impose broader vaccine mandates after the campaign is over.
The videos were released by Project Veritas, which often targets Democrats and progressives in undercover sting operations that are often criticized for deceptive editing.
Both the political aides filmed – Wendy Martinez, a consultant hired to work on Murphy’s campaign, and Matthew Urquijo, manager of a coordinated campaign called Forward 2021 funded by the New Jersey Democratic State Committee – said Murphy is waiting to act to avoid angering swing voters.
“He is going to do it, but he couldn’t do it before the elections. Because of the independents and the undecided,” Martinez says in Spanish, later adding that “right now is about him winning.”
“Not that he won’t [get elected], but I think there are some people that, you know, might push back,” Urquijo says…

“Because they are all into all the sh*t. My rights, my sh*t — and they don’t care if they kill everybody,” says Martinez, who is also on a subcommittee of Murphy’s Restart and Recovery Advisory Council.

Republican Jack Ciattarelli is nipping at Murphy’s heels in the polls.
Something like this could be just the thing that pushes him into the lead.
