Gov.-elect Phil Murphy kicked off his inaugural weekend at a Newark reception Friday highlighting New Jersey's diversity and offering it as rebuttal to anti-immigration comments from President Donald Trump.

Standing in front of supporters seated in the pews of the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Murphy joined religious leaders of Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and other denominations for an interfaith prayer service.

"Boy, I would love to invite the leadership of this country to come into this cathedral and say, 'This is the United States of America,'" Murphy said.

Why bother? Murphy wants to make NJ the next California (really).

Several years ago Al Gore’s Current TV, now shut down, had a program on various places we would call “Sh*t holes of the world” It showed fecal pollution, and people taking dumps in the water, wiping with their left hand, all over Asia and referred to it as “sh*t” over and over again.

Yet the news media gives Al Gore’s tv channel a pass while screaming about Trump’s true assessment of various parts of the world.

Too bad the power didn’t go out.

California already has a city named Newark.

If Newark is America...then America is a shithole.

‘let’s do the “pander-dance”’

no wonder blacks mock whites for their lack of rhythm...

[NJRighty]

Newark is NOT what America - or even New Jersey - looks like. Newark is what Haiti and El Salvador look like.

Well said... you are correct.

[kearnyirish2]

Thanks.

Newark: White - 26.52%, Black - 53.46%

NJ: White - 68.6%, Black 13.7%

America: White - 73.6%, Black 12.6%

"Wanna move to Indiana, Carm? It's colder than Jersey but we'll always have Chicago deep dish." The lefturds are busy posting pictures of The Only Clean Beach In Haiti and the ocean to show that it's not a toilet ... what's wrong with these people?

Newark. The city in NJ that most people in NJ avoid like the plague!

[DesertRhino]

America looks like Newark? We are so screwed.

[Socon-Econ]

Stop the phony virtue signaling. Trump could care less how they look, but he does care how they act.

It's not all bad! Unlike Camden and Trenton, Newark has an airport, which is one of the many ways to leave the state!

[TigersEye]

LOL

[EdnaMode]

Nailed it.

If Newark NJ is what America look like, I would be truly terrified

[ConservaTeen]

Are you trying to start a comedy career, Murphy? You are showing us Newark to prove Haiti is like Newark, yes it is, both are sh*tholes!

[Rome2000]

FU Murphy

[TXnMA]

No, Murph: America definitely does not look at all like your "armpit of the Universe".

My Mother shopped in Newark in the 30’s, 40’s and early 50’s because there were good stores, easy to drive to and safe.
It became rougher and tougher so, by the time my Dad retired she was shopping in New York or not at all. Moved to Florida, end of story. Newark was, at one time, considered a “Queen City.” Great stores, Libraries, a Symphony, culture, etc. An influx of unskilled, untrained, irresponsible people, (I forgot unemployable) caused a rapid decline of life in Newark. Truly sad but repeated in more cities in NJ and our Nation than we realize. My family had lived in NJ for over 300 years.
