Welcome to the Phil Murphy’s Virtue-Signaling Story Hour.

In a Saturday interview with liberal outfit “Blue Wave New Jersey,” Jersey’s Democratic gov boasted: “I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there’s someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to and we said, ‘You know what, let’s have her live at our house above our garage.'”

It was a shameless attempt to boost his progressive creds with his prog audience, and he doubled down by boasting: “And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”

Daring the feds to raid your house? Not so bright when their new motto is “FAFO.”

Indeed, border czar Tom Homan promised to check out his boast.

So Murphy’s staff had to clean up after the boss (again), sending out a flack on Monday to admit the gov had made the whole thing up, “explaining” that Phil was actually talking about a legal immigrant pal . . . who has never lived in his house.
