While the left was all over DeSantis, they ignored another governor who was on vacation while his state’s COVID cases spiked 600 percent in the last month — Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey.

New Jersey reported another 27,975 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, an increase of about 35 percent from the day before as Omicron hits the state. As of late Wednesday, there were 3,604 COVID hospitalizations — up 10 percent from the prior day and approaching the worst point of last year.

Murphy is the vice-chair of the National Governor’s Association and he was away on vacation when he called into the governors’ meeting with Joe Biden on Monday before Biden took off for the beach. Murphy was in Costa Rica from Dec 22 to Dec. 30, spending eight days there, despite the State Department telling Americans they should reconsider traveling to that country because of COVID. Aside from the one call with Biden, Murphy left everything else to his Lt. Governor.

‘It is fitting that President Biden escapes his responsibilities by traveling to a Delaware beach house after saying responses to COVID-19 should be left to the states, and then Governor Murphy runs off to a Costa Rican beach,’ said New Jersey Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew, who left the Democratic party last December.

Van Drew said that Murphy had left the state multiple times for personal trips yet is still imposing mandates on the citizens of New Jersey. Murphy also took a vacation in August when the state was hit with a huge Delta variant wave of cases.

‘If Governor Murphy can travel out of the country when the State Department urges the American people to stay put, Americans should be afforded the same discretion regarding their personal health choices just like our leaders,’ he added.
