New Jersey’s Democrat elite turned out for the groundbreaking of the Portal North Bridge on Monday, Save Jerseyans, but their leader (Phil Murphy) was reluctant to weigh in on another big Hudson County story.
Confronted by a reporter about Jersey City Councilwoman Amy DeGise’s hit-and-run, Governor Murphy flatly refused to call on her to resign:
.@GovMurphy on @Amy_DeGise hit-and-run:
"That's behavior that's unacceptable," also says he'll "leave the actual politics to the local realities."
In other words, he's not asking her to resign. Good job @DavidCruzNJ. pic.twitter.com/gKuUwoC08V

DeGise reportedly waited SIX HOURS to call-in the incident.
I suppose Murphy – the man responsible for 10,000+ nursing home deaths – feels ill-suited to demand anyone’s resignation for poor decision-making?
Many of his own hiring decisions rank among the more infamous personnel choices in gubernatorial history. The company you keep, right?
