RED BANK, NJ – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy was booed off the stage at Red Bank’s Red Rock Tap and Grill during a performance by Brian Kirk and the Jerks on July 3rd.
Shortly after the governor took the stage at the request of band leader Brian Kirk, he was booed off the stage by guests, leaving Kirk a bit upset.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what did I tell you guys? Hey. Listen to me. Listen to me. He didn’t want to hear that. He’s a buddy of mine. This is not about politics. He’s a friend of mine. Do not do that. Please. Out of respect for my friend,” Kirk told patrons.
Murphy exited the stage after fist-bumping band members, ignoring the jeers from the audience.
