Asking Tougher Questions

April 17, 2020 By Mark P. Mostert

On Wednesday’s "Tucker Carlson Show," the clueless Phil Murphy, governor of New Jersey, announced that he had not considered the Bill of Rights when decreeing draconian limits on New Jersians’ mobility and, even more concerning, that gathering for church was verboten.  (Hint, Governor, these are rights for every U.S. citizen, not suggestions or advisories).  Carlson’s incredulity was understandably palpable, and he skillfully got to his main point:
 
Why are people being denied their right to assemble in houses of worship?  The best Phil “Never heard of the Bill of Rights” Murphy could muster was that he had consulted with religious leaders, implying that they had all fallen in line with his atrocious diktat.  Oh, and he also ran things by some lawyers, who apparently had also never heard of the Bill of Rights.

But Carlson missed the point -- and a golden opportunity to do something that I wish more in the media would do: Ask the Guv the kind of questions that would elicit answers outside of the stick-to-the-script monologue the left so often uses:

Governor, why did you arrest Jews in their Synagogue?

I think it’s a fair question. Jews were indeed arrested in their synagogue -- for gathering for religious purposes, a right guaranteed since the founding of the country.

I’d have had some follow-ups:

Governor, are you planning on arresting more Jews?  Why are you only arresting Jews?  What do Jews have to do to avoid being arrested? Do you consider Jews worshipping in their synagogue to be criminals?  Have you arrested, or are you planning on arresting, Muslims or Buddhists or any other religious group if they exercise their absolute right to gather for a religious ceremony?.......To Read More.....
