NEWARK (1010 WINS) – New Jersey Democrats aren’t f***ing around with a new attack ad targeting Phil Murphy’s GOP challenger for governor.
The ad released this week by the New Jersey Democratic State Committee focuses on Jack Ciattarelli’s support for a 1994 law that banned cursing in Raritan.
Ciattarelli was on the Raritan Borough Council when the profanity ban passed 5-0. At the time, the police chief said he wouldn’t enforce it over free speech concerns.
The new ad features New Jerseyans reacting with f-bombs and other four-letter expletives as they learn about the decades-old law that sought to quash “profane, vulgar or indecent language.”
Among the reactions: “You’re s***ing me” and “What an a**hole!”
“This is f***ing New Jersey,” one woman proclaims while standing next to a sign of Ciattarelli.
Murphy retweeted the ad using his well-known (and much more polite) insult: “What a knucklehead.”
There's sure to be plenty of trash talk on Tuesday night, when Murphy and Ciattarelli face off at Rowan University in their final debate before the Nov. 2 election.
