PRESS RELEASE: Camden County GOP Calls Out City Of Camden Over False Social Media Post, City Deletes Comments, Then Deletes Post

Camden County Republicans called out the City of Camden for a Facebook post that contained false information regarding COVID-19. Apparently, the Democrats in Camden didn’t like being called out and deleted comments made by CCGOP, then later deleted the post entirely. Following is the Camden County Republicans press release on the matter (with screenshots):

HADDON HEIGHTS – Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino congratulated his social media team for calling out the City of Camden for a misleading COVID-19 social media post and ultimately seeing the City remove the post.

At issue is that the City of Camden stated in a Facebook post that “99.9% of the people contracting COVID-19 are unvaccinated.” Camden County Republicans commented, in part, “99% of those contracting COVID-19 survive unless they were in Governor Phil Murphy nursing homes.” Late Thursday night, shortly after 10:00 PM, Republicans shared the Camden City post with the organization’s comment. Friday morning, all comments were deleted by the City of Camden, followed by a removal of the post.

“The Democrats, from the local level up to the gubernatorial and presidential levels, have used the COVID-19 pandemic for political gain for too long,” CCGOP Chairman Rich Ambrosino said. “My team has pushed back on the fear mongering by the Democrats at every step of the way. This goes to show, even the Democrats are paying attention to our social media efforts.”

CCGOP executive director Tom Crone added, “Here in Camden County, we have Mr. Norcross living amongst us, so the Democrats for the foreseeable future will have more money than us. The best, most cost-effective way for us to fight back against all that money is social media. We’ve put a lot of work into our social media efforts and it is starting to show.”

“The Democrats cannot beat us on the issues. They cling to the COVID-19 pandemic as their only issue because the Bill of Rights is above Phil Murphy’s pay grade and he thinks that if taxes are your issue you should move.” Crone said, “If the Democrats are going to continue to cling to COVID-19, we’ll keep reminding voters of all the nursing home deaths caused by Phil Murphy’s mishandling of the pandemic.”

A Little National Recognition For A Camco Republican

It can be tough being a Republican in South Jersey. We live and campaign in the shadow of political boss George Norcross. And, he is a boss, with Salon once writing:

“Norcross sits atop a sprawling nexus of insurance, health care and philanthropic enterprises in New Jersey, and is one of those wealthy Democratic National Committee members who, despite some progressive rule changes post 2016, will have an oversized role in picking his party’s presidential nominee next year.”

So, when you are part of a political organization that has to run against the team headed by a guy who had “an oversized role in picking his party’s presidential nominee,” you get to brag when one of your candidates gets a little national recognition.

Camden County Republicans now have some bragging rights because last week the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) put LD6 GOP candidate Rich Super in their “2021 New Jersey Candidates Spotlights” series.”

Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino has a tough job running a party in the county in which Democrat party boss Norcross lives. Often times recruiting candidates is far from easy. But, as hard as it is, Ambrosino does find a way to recruit quality candidates and, last week, national Republicans recognized one of those quality candidates in Rich Super.

Congratulations Rich Super on the recognition and great job on the candidate recruitment Chairman Ambrosino.

PRESS RELEASE: Ambrosino: The Voting Booth Guarantees Your Ballot Is Secret

Camden County GOP Chair Rich Ambrosino offered a statement of support for a lawsuit filed against Governor Phil Murphy by NJGOP, the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump’s re-election committee. His press release on the matter follows:

Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino said today that he was thrilled NJGOP joined the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign in suing Phil Murphy to overturn his executive order requiring more than 6 million vote-by-mail ballots to be mailed to New Jersey voters.

“The secret ballot is essential to our democracy and the privacy of the voting booth is the one thing that guarantees that secrecy,” Rich Ambrosino said. “NJGOP is right to join President Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee in suing to overturn Governor Murphy’s scheme to mail over 6 million vote-by-mail ballots to New Jersey’s voters.”

“Throughout this pandemic the Governor has claimed science and data guide his decisions, but science and data have nothing to do with his decision to mail ballots to voters.” Ambrosino continued, “You cannot allow folks to march in protests and then say the science and data suggest the same folks who march in protests would not be safe standing in line to vote.”

Ambrosino added, “If Murphy were truly concerned with using data to guide his decision on voting he could have called congressional candidate Claire Gustafson. Her campaign commissioned a poll that ran July 26 – 30. She shared the data with us and the poll found that the majority of CD1 voters want to vote in person at a polling place. That’s real data! It’s time for Governor Murphy to cut the crap and admit that data had nothing to do with his VBM decision.”

“I’m not a lawyer and have no idea how a court will rule on this lawsuit, but I am hopeful New Jersey’s voters realize it is President Trump and the Republican Party standing up for voters to be guaranteed the right to vote in the privacy of the voting booth,” Ambrosino said.
