New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) referred to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as “Matt Putz” in a press briefing Friday after the congressman traveled to New Jersey for a Young Republicans event, in which no one was social distancing and there were no masks in sight, NBC New York reports.
Said Murphy: “That guy in the middle, the tall, handsome fella in the gray suit, that is Representative Matt Putz — oh sorry, Matt Gaetz, and based upon his past performances, it is obvious being a knucklehead is not beyond the pale for him. He was actually Sarah Palin’s backup act for this event.”
He added: “I hope you’re watching Matt — you are not welcome in New Jersey, and frankly I don’t ever want you back in this state.”
