New York and New Jersey officials are disturbed that a Republican club on Thursday hosted a gala with 150 mask-less people in attendance, including Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz.

A day after the event, New Jersey Mayor Steven Fulop shut down the Maritime Parc, the restaurant that hosted the gala, according to a statement. Fulop ordered the restaurant to close indefinitely after photos circulated on social media showing mask-less attendees, including Gaetz, smiling and packed close together indoors.

The event was an annual gala thrown by the New York Young Republicans Club.

Fulop said the restaurant will remain closed until the owners create a viable plan detailing how they will comply with coronavirus-related restrictions and mandates. The plan must be submitted to and reviewed by the state's health department.

and here is the response from Florida PUTZ Gaetz to Governor Murphy:

Somehow I think he will be celebrated in Florida, unless he moves, inexplicably, to some backwoods Republican stronghold.

1. "Move to Florida"

I used to vacation in Florida—until the place I always visited went cultish for Trump. They will never see another dime from me, and millions of others think the same.

It’s residents like Matt Gretzky who drive visitors away, and will end up leading Florida Trump businesses into bankruptcy.

2. Good. I'm getting sick of how much the GOP flaunts their lawlessness.

It's got to stop.

3. Here in New York, masks are required and gatherings are discouraged, even stores limit numbers

But, of course, Republicans don't believe the rules apply to them, taking their lead from Trump.

4. They rain down on the restaurant

but nothing about Putz? No charges? No fines? He was there, you have proof. He was flaunting the mask order. Fine his ass! And, put out a warrant for him when he does not pay, and he cannot enter New Jersey again without being arrested. I don't care who he is, and I am tired of watching the rethugs ignore the 'promote the general welfare' part of our founding document. Hold them accountable!

5. Gaetz and the rest of the young rethugs

Are soulless creatures. The virus is raging around them, but they don’t care about anyone but themselves. No sacrifices on their part.

7. says a lot about the folks in Florida to re-elected the litte snot

6. The actual video of Murphy was great. The tweet is funny but the video funnier. Here it is:

"He was Sarah Palin's backup act for this event!"

8. Most of the Losers there weren't that young

If this is a young Republican group, most of their members are 30 plus years old. Several have grey hair. Good luck with the future NYYRC!

9. Matt Putz...what a perfect name

don't even have to think twice about who the name refers to. I suppose it's already been assigned to him, and I'm just late to this party?

10. Didn't Gaetz recently test positive for Covid?
