Gov. Phil Murphy was heckled Monday  morning in Asbury Park while being interviewed on NBC News' Today Show.

"There are business owners who are enraged that this reopening has not happened sooner," said Gov. Murphy. "We were the second hardest hit state in America, over 12,600 fatalities. The virus is far more lethal indoors."

 

"He's a traitor, he's a traitor, he's a hypocrite," said the heckler.

"This guy deserves to say what he wants to say, but honestly, overwhelming people get it," said Gov. Murphy. "The decisions we make are based on facts and date."
