New Jersey Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy Spent Taxpayer Money at Taylor Swift Concert, Other Events

Public records reveal Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy reportedly spent taxpayer funds at stadium events that included a Taylor Swift concert.

“Murphy’s office said the Democratic State Committee was initially expected to cover the stadium costs but didn’t. The state was left with the bill, which was paid via Murphy’s $95,000-a-year expense account — a longstanding line item in the state budget which has been consistently renewed under Murphy and his predecessors,” Politico reported.

A spokesperson for Murphy said his office believed at the time that state party officials would cover the costs.

“Once it was clear that there were outstanding bills that had not been paid, the state stepped up to meet this responsibility,” Jennifer Sciortino explained.

From Breitbart:

In June 2022, Murphy was accused of improperly giving $10 million in Chinese coronavirus funds to illegal aliens as stimulus checks, according to state oversight leaders, Breitbart News reported.

“As Breitbart News reported last year, Murphy provided the state’s nearly half a million illegal aliens with rounds of stimulus checks to the sum of tens of millions of dollars — paid for by American taxpayers — that was meant as coronavirus relief for Americans,” Breitbart News’s John Binder noted.
