New Jersey’s WXKY radio reports:
New York Young Republicans who hoped to keep the location of their annual fundraiser a secret have been outed by Jersey City’s chief prosecutor, who said he will bring charges for violating Gov. Phil Murphy’s coronavirus executive orders.
Mid-day Friday, city officials said the restaurant holding the event has been shut down as well.
Jersey City chief prosecutor Jake Hudnut responded to to a tweet by attendee Joel Fischer, who taunted New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to “come and get me.” He was pictured with Florida Rep. Matt Gatez, who was a speaker at the fundraiser.
Pssst…you are in #JerseyCity – not New York.
Gov. Cuomo may not be able to “come and get” you.
But I can.

These photos of COVID-19 violations are dangerous and unacceptable.
Maritime Parc is under the jurisdiction of @NJGov’s Liberty State Park.
We will follow up w/ LSP Police today. Any summonses will be prosecuted fully in #JerseyCity’s courts ?https://t.co/jBEaXtcuUR

Last night, the @NYYRC allegedly snuck into Jersey City to hold a “gala fundraiser” – ignoring our social distancing and mask rules.
It is beyond the pale that anyone would willingly endanger people in another state.
Jersey City law enforcement is investigating this matter. pic.twitter.com/OX2ug8S1e3
