Is Sherrill Congresswoman Or Governor?

By Bob Auth, reprinted with permission from Save Jersey.
There was no shortage of meaningful Memorial Day events throughout our New Jersey villages, towns, and cities that our governor, Mikie Sherrill, could have attended to honor the men and women, and their families, who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy in this great Republic. Instead, she chose to spend her time, as our governor, creating photo ops at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark.
At what has been appropriately labeled “a political stunt,” she stood alongside Democrat federal representatives and masked agitators blocking the private facility and demanding its closure over rumors of a hunger strike by detainees and inhumane conditions inside, accusations denied by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
Unlike federal lawmakers, our governor has no right to tour Delaney Hall unannounced. That right is reserved for members of Congress and certain other federal officials with oversight responsibilities and has been repeatedly upheld by the courts. The Virginia born-and-bred former congresswoman has been in the governor’s office only a few months, but seems to have forgotten that she, willingly one assumes, traded Capitol Hill for the golden dome on West State Street in Trenton.
As governor of the great Garden State, Sherrill has influence and executive power to fix the plethora of problems created here after decades of majority Democrat (mis)governance. New Jersey’s 1947 Constitution makes the governor chief executive of all State departments. Since she has demonstrated great concern and compassion for the incarcerated, she might look to the state’s own crumbling prison infrastructure.

OMG! Were These Two Separated At Birth?
Stern Warning To Sherrill From NJ State Senator
New Jersey State Senator Michael Testa (R-Atlantic, Cumberland, Cape May) issued the following statement, commending New Jersey State law enforcement for restoring order and protecting public safety after months of inflammatory rhetoric and political grandstanding from Democratic leaders.
“I appreciate Governor Sherrill’s decision to cooperate with federal authorities and deploy the New Jersey State Police to restore order at Delaney Hall,” said Senator Testa. “The brave men and women of law enforcement, both state and federal, deserve our gratitude for standing their ground to protect peaceful protesters, nearby residents, and public safety in the face of escalating unrest from violent agitators. I hope that none of our law enforcement at the local, state, or national level were injured as a result of the unlawful violent actions of rioters.
“Unfortunately, this cooperation comes after months of hateful rhetoric and political posturing that fueled the very tensions we have witnessed in Newark. Republicans warned from the beginning that Governor Sherrill’s creation of an ICE reporting portal, encouraging citizens to monitor and report on federal immigration enforcement operations, and portrayal of federal agents as villains would only undermine confidence in federal law enforcement and make an already volatile situation worse.
“What began as a Democratic publicity stunt has now placed New Jersey squarely in the national spotlight, and worse, the lives of our brave law enforcement officers in harm’s way. This should serve as a lesson that when political grandstanding reaches the level of making law enforcement’s job more dangerous, you’ve gone too far. It’s now time for Democrats to put public safety ahead of photo-ops and cooperate with federal authorities to remove dangerous criminals from our communities who’ve been convicted of rape, murder, pedophilia, and human trafficking.
“Thank you Governor Sherril for supporting President Trump and the brave men and women of ICE as they work to protect our citizens and uphold our Constitution.”

A Political Stunt That Has Backfired?
From the NJGOP:
Governor Sherrill and Democrats’ Delaney Hall debacle:
First, Governor Sherrill turned Memorial Day into a political spectacle — politicizing a day meant to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Instead of calming tensions, the situation spiraled, with unrest escalating throughout the week. Then came the irony: after inflaming the situation, her administration was forced to rely on State Troopers and Newark police to restore order to the very chaos she helped fuel - the same police she and the Democrats have prevented from cooperating with ICE in any form. Now, even protesters are turning on her for calling in law enforcement — exposing just how badly this political stunt has backfired. All of this while New Jersey families remain trapped in an affordability crisis.Dawn Fantasia Tells It Like It Is!
Thank you, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia!
Thank you to @HARRISFAULKNER @FaulknerFocus for having me on to discuss the debacle unfolding at Delaney Hall.

NJ Democrat "leadership" perpetuated this chaos & is now scrambling to course-correct, 'learing' the hard way that pandering to the far-left, lawless fringe is myopic… https://t.co/ZCF8Hibf6X
