New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) lashed out at anti-vaccine hecklers during a news conference in Union City on Wednesday.

Murphy slammed a small group protesting mandatory inoculations as “the ultimate knuckleheads.” They were carrying signs that read “No forced injections” and “My body, my choice,” reported NorthJersey.com.

“These folks back there have lost their minds,” said Murphy, who urged people to get vaccinated during his announcement of the state’s extension of its eviction moratorium.

“You are the ultimate knuckleheads and because of what you are saying and standing for, people are losing their life,” the governor continued. “People are losing their life, and you have to know that. Look in the mirror. Look in the mirror.”

1. "My body my choice" does not seem to apply to much besides vaccines.

[Warpy]

2. And they're taking the choices away from those who can't be vaccinated

like people with allergies, weakened immune systems--and their own children.

Their choice ends where ours begins.

They need to know that doesn't apply to a fetus, something that is not yet developed enough to know what a choice is, much less make one.

4. They aleady have that choice and nobody is trying to take it away from them

Unlike forced child-bearing, there is no serious talk anywhere about forced inoculations. But these fuck-witted knuckleheads also think they have the "right" to go anywhere they want without enough consideration for others as to simply wear a mask. They want all the benefits of living in a civilized society and none of the responsibilities.

3. GETTING MY IRISH UP

If you've ever wondered what the term, "Getting My Irish Up" means - this is how it's done!!!

Thank you Governor Murphy!!!

This is kind of fight that we need on our our side - NO MORE MR NICE GUY - call them what they are; KNUCKLEHEADS.

5. He's been calling them that for the past 18 months though

one of his favorite words.

Here from last year -

I thought it was just me hearing him say it at many of his pressers, but then Philly is South Jersey's media market so we hear more about what Murphy is saying and doing in Jersey than what Wolf is saying or doing here in PA, probably because half the reporters live in NJ.
