(CNN) When New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy tweeted a picture of him observing a moment of silence in honor of George Floyd earlier this month, people were quick to point out that he was doing it from behind a desk that was engraved with the name of Woodrow Wilson. Phil Murphy tweeted this picture of him taking a moment of silence for George Floyd on June 4 as he sits behind a desk that once belonged to Woodrow Wilson. Now, Murphy has ditched the piece of office furniture, which he said he forgot had a plaque on the front of it that read "Woodrow Wilson's Desk." The country is having a "reckoning," Murphy said, and "Woodrow Wilson and his legacy is being swept up in that as it should be."
