Trenton NJ, Senator Joe Pennacchio (R-26) along with many other New Jersey taxpayers objected to signs appearing on state highways with the words “Don’t be a Knucklehead” posted on them.
The signs reference repeated entreaties Murphy made in his daily COVID-19 briefings, and Pennacchio was unamused.
The senator – who co-hairs President Donald J. Trump’s reelection campaign in this state – defended New Jersey residents after a post on Governor Murphy’s Facebook page doubled down on shutdown order defiant New Jerseyans as ‘knuckleheads.’
“I strongly condemn the flippant language the Governor has used in press conferences and on these signs,” said the Republican senator from Morris County. “It is disrespectful to the citizens of New Jersey who have – and will continue to – make hard sacrifices to stop the spread of the coronavirus and save lives.
“The sophomoric language is unbecoming of the Governor, and certainly not fair to the people of New Jersey,” Pennacchio added. “Webster defines a knucklehead as a ‘stupid person.’ Is that what you think of sacrificing New Jersey citizens? Really?”
Perhaps the governor could get the “knuckleheads ” to fix the NJ Unemployment servers ?
I like it.
Huntington Beach CA has quite a few knuckleheads.
Pennacchio is a knucklehead. He says it’s disrespectful to citizens but says nothing about the names Donhole Trump calls people on a daily basis. If you don’t wear a mask or don’t respect the the social responsibility changes because of Covid-19, YOU ARE A KNUCKLEHEAD!
the most vocal critics in town, the first to stand up at a podium to say pls stay home, keep the parks closed or more will die….are the same idiots having bbqs in their backyard with other families and friends, kids swimming in their pools. hypocrites
People are so sensitive. It was funny
We do have so many knuckleheads around. It’s amazing how many of them are not even washing their hands
“Knucklehead” is way more polite than the verbiage i could conjure. Kudos to Gov Murphy and the State of NJ. Pennaciho can go suck an egg
