Here we go again, Save Jerseyans.
Bill Spadea infamously declared that there was no difference between Jack Ciattarelli and Phil Murphy during Election 2021. Even if Jack wasn’t your first choice… does anyone truly believe the last four years wouldn’t have been better without Phil Murphy in Trenton? Well, poised to return to the airwaves next Tuesday, the vanquished 2025 GOP gubernatorial candidate is still refusing to lend aid, comfort, or even a remotely friendly word to his former Republican rival.
“Many of you are asking my thoughts on the fall election, so let me clear up any confusion,” Spadea wrote in an NJ 101.5 opinion piece teasing his return to the station’s morning drive program. “As far as this coming November, Jack Ciatterelli has already said in interviews that as best he can tell, Spadea’s followers are all in. If that’s true, then he doesn’t need my endorsement. Frankly, I won’t pretend I support a candidate I’ve always believed — and still believe — is wrong for New Jersey.”
“New Jersey deserves a fighter and a leader, not a placeholder,” Spadea continued. “I won’t rubber-stamp more of the same and I certainly won’t help sell voters on a candidate I believe will keep us stuck exactly where we are.”
Let’s be clear about something:
You’re not “digging in” if you’re providing aid and comfort to Mikie Sherrill, Phil Murphy, and the other far-Left politicians who are directly responsible for New Jersey’s skyrocketing electric bills, Sanctuary Statehood-fueled crime, and worst-in-the-country tax burdens.
You’re copping out.
Bill was my friend for many years, folks, but it seems he’s revealing his true colors in Election 2025. Perhaps his behavior back in 2021 should’ve been a clue; I’m always willing to assume one mistake or childish act doesn’t necessarily define someone’s character. In this case, Bill’s behavior is outrageously inexcusible and will be very hard to come back from… on air or in future cycles. This election is too damn important. More important than bruised egos and ancient beefs.
Keep your chins up. We need to keep fighting, Save Jerseyans, and when the dust settles, we all need to take note of who was fighting alongside of us and who chose to stand with the bad guys.
