Phil Murphy, the Democratic front-runner in the 2017 race to replace Gov. Chris Christie, picked up the endorsements of New Jersey's Democratic U.S. Senators on Monday and vowed to disobey orders from a President Donald Trump that would violate the constitution or are "un-American." Murphy appeared at his campaign headquarters in downtown Newark to tout the endorsements of U.S. Sens. Cory Booker and Robert Menendez. "I will not take orders from an Administration that are unconstitutional or un-American," Murphy vowed.

Any sleazebag who would accept endorsements from U.S. Sens. Cory Booker and Robert Menendez is unelectable... Trump/Pence = MAGA!

‘Un-American is so subjective. No problem with ‘Unconstitional’ , however. Every citzen has a duty.

Funny how the Left is so selective when to follow the constitution or not.
They only mention it when it serves their interests or work against Conservatives, at all other times it's irrelevant.
Very similar how the Left use Christian Values.

“or are “un-American.” “

Oh sure - NOW he gets scruples.
Unconstitutional and un-American actions didn’t seem to bother him before The Age Of Trump.

"I will not take orders from an Administration that are unconstitutional or un-American," Murphy vowed.So I guess we can expect Murphy to be super supportive of national concealed carry reciprocity then because, you know, the second amendment and all that American history and all.

Murphy is going far left to win the Democratic nomination. He like Corzine before him has bought off the Democratic Party county chairmen. He is even more vapid and dumber than Andrew Cuomo. Christie has guaranteed that just about any Democrat would win in 2017. There is already an exodus of jobs, people out of New Jersey. It will become a stampede.
To: SMGFan
Someone should ask him what “constitutional” means, so we can see his deer-in-the-headlights look.

And I urge the citizens of the Garden State to ignore the ongoing unconstitutional attack on their 2nd Amendment.

Trump should redirect his federal funding to a state that complies with federal directives.
To: Iron Munro
I recall another Democratic governor who said the same thing a few years back.

Murphy wouldn’t know the U.S. Constitution if it bit him on the ass. Hey Phil! KMA!
