New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, received a chorus of boos at a concert on his home turf Saturday night.
Brian Kirk, the lead singer of Brian Kirk & the Jirks, invited Murphy onstage, but the moment quickly soured at the Red Rock Tap & Grill in Monmouth County, just two miles away from the governor’s waterfront mansion.
Kirk broke his embrace of Murphy to scold fans.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what did I tell you guys?” Kirk said, pointing his finger at the crowd.
“Hey, listen to me,” he continued. “Listen to me, he didn’t want to hear that. He’s a buddy of mine. This is not about politics. He’s a friend of mine. Don’t do that. Out of respect for my friend, don’t do that.”
Murphy’s administration imposed multiple restrictions on breweries last year, including limiting food distribution and the number of private events they can host onsite.
A bipartisan bill that passed both the state Assembly and Senate last month to lift the restrictions has been sitting on Murphy’s desk, but he has yet to signal whether he will sign it.
The New Jersey Brewers Association has expressed fears that the continued regulations will force breweries out of business or across state lines.
The website for the Red Rock bar, where Murphy was booed, currently asks for customers’ patience due to being short-staffed.
“Thank you for your patience,” it reads. “Our kitchen is short-staffed due to an unprecedented labor shortage in the service industry.”

Murphy is not getting booed because of the brewery bill. He is getting booed because he sucks
I imagine that among those booing are the waitstaff, who are losing hundreds of dollars of tips each night because they are still sober enough to mind their dollars.
Murphy is a degraded drunk. Recently he had his Attorney General sue school boards and communities who are trying to prevent public school teachers from aiding in the transgender mutilation of minors. They do this abomination with no pretense of medical training and keep it secret from the children’s parents and guardians. Murphy is just another pervert loving Democrat.
Yep.
Isn’t that the “That’s my money” Murphy? Referring to the taxpayers loot he takes from them?
He’s a friend of yours, Kirk? Well FU and your butt buddy too.
Real trophies, the bunch. The legacy criminals Lautenberg, Kaine, Whitman, deserve one another.
"New Joysey and yous' guys, perfect together".
.
All democrats deserve this treatment and the singer needsbto shut it thinking he can use the mic and sound system to try to stop the crowd from hating on that evil democrat.
A well named band..hey Bri and the rest of your ‘jirks’, don’t bring a politician to your concerts, especially one like Murphy. But then also, hey NJ, you voted for him!
Brian Kirk is a Jerk. A friend of mine hired his band for his daughter’s wedding. It was something north of $15K. My friend is an idiot and Kirk is a typical leftist - all for the little guy but catering to the wealthy.
Any ties to the Mob, besides being a psycho?
Murphy, Christie, Menendez, Booker, and Torricelli.
You forgot Corzine. The biggest thief of them all.
and Whitman, Florio, and Byrne
and the fag that resigned ...
and the fag that resigned
Dang it. I remembered that crook seconds after I posted. Thanks to the other posters who remembered Flim-Flam Florio and Byrne and Whitman. Got to add Sharpe James. The list of Jersey crooked pols is endless it’s easy to forget a couple.
Rat-faced “the Bill of Rights is above my pay grade” weasel.
