Phil Murphy (D-NJ) issued varying decrees restricting News Jersians\u2019 freedom of association and movement, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northjersey.com\/story\/news\/new-jersey\/2020\/06\/09\/stay-home-order-nj-lifted-gov-murphy\/5327398002\/\">including<\/a> a \u201cstay-at-home order\u201d and mask mandates imposed on children in public schools.<\/p>\n<p>Durr remarked, \u201cWhat Governor [Phil] Murphy had done [was he] violated people\u2019s rights. You cannot tell people they can\u2019t work, and they can\u2019t go to church, and they have to have their kids in masks in schools.&nbsp;And then you go and show the hypocrisy of you marching with BLM.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe have to stop this abuse of our children, forcing children to wear masks,\u201d he stated. \u201cIf a parent wants their child to wear a mask, it will be the parent\u2019s choice. If a parent wants their child to take the vaccine, that will be the parent\u2019s choice. If a parent wants their child to be taught about sex education, that will be the parent\u2019s \u2014 not the government\u2019s \u2014 choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>Durr noted the political interest and acumen of many truck drivers and how the logistics of the job allow for the consumption of political information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cTruck drivers are not stupid people,\u201d he remarked. \u201cWe\u2019re on the road all the time, s<\/span><span>o we have our downtime, and we read books, and we listen to radio, so we get to gather knowledge. So we\u2019re actually not as dumb as most people think we are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Durr described his victory as a possible harbinger of future conservative grassroots political victories in elections.<\/p>\n<p><span>He concluded, \u201cI know that as long as the people keep making their voices heard, the Democrats are going to have to listen. Even though they still hold the majority, they\u2019re going to have to listen because if the Senate president can get beat, you can get beat.
