New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy phoned into President Biden's governors meeting on COVID-19 from Costa Rica on Monday as cases surge in his own state.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., at the time a Democrat, is seen in the Capitol during procedural votes related to the articles of impeachment on Dec. 18, 2019. , told Fox News Digital in a statement that he finds Murphy’s trip to Costa Rica hypocritical. "If Governor Murphy can travel out of the country when the State Department urges the American people to stay put, Americans should be afforded the same discretion regarding their personal health choices just like our leaders," he continued."It is fitting that President Biden escapes his responsibilities by traveling to a Delaware beach house after saying responses to COVID-19 should be left to the states, and then Governor Murphy runs off to a Costa Rican beach.
