In the aftermath of Vice President Kamala Harris’ embarrassing 2024 election loss to then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, reports have been swirling that the Democrat Party has been in a near-constant state of disarray, with no leader, no coherent message, and infighting galore as they go through an identity crisis of epic proportions.
Amid the widening divide among congressional Democrats, we’ve seen some not-so-well-known faces try to step up and fill the void, like Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who makes AOC look sane by comparison. There has also been Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), who, after seeming to threaten Tesla CEO Elon Musk during an interview on live TV last month, received a letter of inquiry from the Trump DOJ asking him for clarification on his remarks.
Another one who has attempted to make himself more visible is Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), who has been appearing more on the talking head programs in 2025 and has stepped up his social media presence in recent weeks.
We saw this, for instance, in a video clip he posted to the Twitter/X machine on Thursday explaining why he would be a “no” vote on the CR. He made sure to throw in some curse words along the way because apparently, he’s still of the mindset that elected officials look edgy and cool when they do things like that:
After the Friday vote, we got a similar message from Murphy. Except this time he made sure to include the “f” word for good measure:
Chris Murphy—”movement leader?” As you might expect, that brought about some chuckles and inconvenient reminders from his critics:
And yeah, about that:
Chris Murphy has a new (and younger, but not necessarily more attractive) lover less than four months after ditching his wife. The prominent social media user and Democratic senator from Connecticut is reportedly dating Tara McGowan, the Soros-funded dark money operative who has been denounced by the Washington Post for pushing “partisan propaganda” via a network of misleading “local news” websites. The happy couple was spotted canoodling at a hipster bar in Washington, D.C., earlier this month.[…]Murphy has allegedly distinguished himself in recent months, according to mainstream political journalists, for his relentless opposition to Donald Trump and his even more relentless efforts to promote himself. NBC News reports that Murphy spent more than $1 million on Facebook and Instagrams ads in the month of February, which is more than he’s spent on such advertising over the last five years combined. He’s also raising lots of money despite having just won reelection. He’s constantly on television, or sounding off on a podcast with liberal influencers. It’s all part of his strategy to “flood the zone” with anti-Trump hysteria. “We don’t have another year to fight this attempt to destroy democracy,” Murphy said last week. “Our democracy might be gone in six months.”
Oh yes, Democrats. Please make this guy the face of your party. Please. I’m begging you.
