Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) was in Spain this weekend for some reason, trashing the United States as being in the midst of a crisis, claiming that Trump is trying to take over our democracy, calling him a totalitarian, and on and on.
Murphy reminds me a lot of Senator Elizabeth Warren. Like Warren, Murphy has not dialed down his insane anti-Trump rhetoric below eleven even once since the 2024 election. It makes me think he is planning a 2028 run for president, not because he thinks he can win, but because he wants a position in the next Democrat administration, or a job in media.
This performance, and it is a performance, is a total disgrace.
Murphy is also pushing progressivism. Apparently, he missed Justice Clarence Thomas’s recent speech on why this philosophy is incompatible with America as it was founded.
He is rallying the troops.
The Hill reports:
Murphy tells US, world progressives to take ‘lessons’ from Hungary electionsSen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Saturday urged progressives in the U.S. and around the world to “learn from each other”, saying the defeat of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Hungary can offer a roadmap for rebuilding democracy.Murphy told the crowd at the inaugural Global Progressive Mobilization conference in Barcelona that the U.S. faced “the most significant threat” to democratic institutions since the Civil War, and Americans were “watching the courage of the defenders of democracy” in Hungary and other parts of Europe…He called on progressives to unite to counter right-wing populism across the globe, pointing to AfD party in Germany, far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen in France, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Orbán and Trump.“They learn from each other. They copy one another’s tactics of democratic destruction, and they count on us to be divided, to argue over purity tests while they dismantle our freedom,” he said. “But to beat them, we must learn from each other too.”

Tell me more about your devotion to our democracy, Mr. Senator.
