HOLMDEL, NJ – Gov. Phil Murphy has two words to describe the convoy of vehicles carrying Trump supporters in Holmdel on Sunday, which caused standstill traffic on the Garden State Parkway yesterday afternoon.
At a Monday afternoon news conference, Murphy said he used two adjectives during an earlier interview to describe the incident: “silly” and “dangerous.”
New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick Callahan also said that video footage of the incident is under review, with “enforcement actions” currently being followed up on by detectives in conjunction with the Department of Transportation.
“I want to be clear that that situation on the parkway yesterday was incredibly irresponsible,” said Callahan.
