Politics can be an interesting thing to watch, especially if you really understand how things are done. There’s an old saying that the two things you don’t want people to see you make are laws and sausages, and it’s an accurate statement. But it certainly gets interesting.
Like most people, politicians can be downright petty at times. Most are slick enough to hide their pettiness, but sometimes they don’t even bother.
That is what’s alleged to have happened in a new lawsuit against New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.
Gov. Phil Murphy improperly booted a gun rights activist from New Jersey’s daily coronavirus press briefings, the New Jersey Second Amendment Society alleges in a new federal lawsuit.
Alexander Roubian, the group’s president, attended the briefings in March to ask Murphy about the governor’s closure of gun stores and ranges as part of his shutdown of businesses the state believes are not essential. The same day Murphy announced a limited re-opening of gun stores, the Murphy administration started barring Roubian from the briefings.
Roubian’s exclusion amounts to retaliation for him “taking on” Murphy over the gun store closures, the lawsuit says.
