Democrat Gov Threatened Gym Not To Re-Open In Defiance Of Lockdown Order. They Did It Anyway.

On Monday, Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy threatened gym owners and their patrons not to re-open again on Tuesday after the fitness center opened Monday in defiance of the Democrat’s lockdown order.

“If you show up at that gym again tomorrow, there’s going to be a different reality than showing up today,” Murphy said during a presser on Monday, specifically talking about South Jersey’s Atilis Gym. “These aren’t just words.”

“We’ve got to enforce this,” he added, “but I also don’t want to start World War III.”

However, the threat wasn’t enough for Atilis Gym co-owners Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti to tuck tail. The gym opened their doors again on Tuesday.
