They are saying the quiet part out loud. They now openly hate America.
Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is under fire after a one-word social media post fueled accusations he was a "traitor" cheering against the United States amid the war in Iran.
"Awesome," Murphy wrote on X in response to a post reporting that 26 ships in Iran's shadow fleet have made it past the US blockade in the Gulf of Oman.
Murphy’s post adds to his long-running criticism of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy and revived scrutiny over his past posture toward Iran, giving critics fresh ammunition to cast the Connecticut Democrat as hostile to U.S. interests.
"It takes an insane level of Trump Derangement Syndrome to cheer for a terrorist regime that chants ‘Death to America,'" White House Spokesperson Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital.
"Chris Murphy is an America-last, radical left lunatic who stands for illegal aliens and Iranian terrorists over the American people. The only thing ‘awesome’ will be when he is out of office," Wales added.
Commenters continued criticizing Murphy on X on Tuesday morning.
"First of all this is false," Sean Parnell, assistant to the secretary of war for public affairs, posted, denying the report Murphy responded to. "Second, a Dem senator cheering on the number one state sponsor of terror is shameful."
"This is what late stage TDS looks like: Cheering on Iran to defeat the U.S. Navy," the Trump War room account wrote.
"This U.S. senator is publicly cheering for America’s enemy during war. The Senate should vote to censure him," Mike Davis, Article III Project founder and president, commented.
"Was Sen. Murphy's account hacked?" Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York wrote.
"Chris Murphy roots against America," conservative commentator Steve Guest posted.
