Senator Chris Murphy, a hard-line, 100% anti-Trump Connecticut Democrat who never seems to find a progressive position he has problems with, accused Lara of advocating the arrest of Rep. alexandria ocasio-cortez for coaching illegal aliens on how to avoid detection, thus deportment.
Forgetting for a moment that punishing ocasio-cortez for doing so would not (in my opinion) be a bad idea at all, the fact is Lara Trump didn’t do it.
From Emma Colton’s article for Fox News:
The White House slammed Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy as a “moron” on social media after the Connecticut lawmaker posted an expletive-riddled admonishment against a Lara Trump parody account he seemingly believed belonged to the president’s daughter-in-law.
“You are a moron, Chris. It is obvious this page is not affiliated with President Trump, his family, or the administration. We do, however, support your right to make such a statement, no matter how imbecilic it makes you look,” the White House’s X account, Rapid Response 47, said in a message posted on Friday.
The White House was responding to Murphy singling out a social media post he ostensibly believed Lara Trump posted regarding border czar Tom Homan potentially arresting Rep. Alexandira Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. Murphy included a screenshot of the alleged Lara Trump tweet, showing the handle for the account belongs to an X page called the “Lara Trump Page,” a parody fan account – not her official X account.
“If you support Border Czar Tom Homan arresting AOC for giving illegal aliens instructions on how to avoid deportation, post a [thumbs up emoji] in the comments,” the fan page account posted on Thursday. “Make your voice heard.”
Murphy responded to the social media post by arguing the Trump administration has “some f—ing gall” discussing free speech when advocating for the arrest of a Democrat.
Brilliant, Chris. Very impressive, I’m sure…to the “woke” crowd and most of what passes for our mainstream media.
But there is a bit of a problem. You didn’t know what you were talking about.
My unsolicited advice to you? Before profanely attacking the Trump administration – and Lara Trump, since she supposedly was the source of why you are attacking – because it beat up on a Democrat (something Democrats never, ever do against Republicans, right Chris?), you just might just consider finding out for sure if you know what you are talking about. Maybe then there won’t be a reason for you to be called a moron and an imbecile.
That said, however, do not expect any apologies. Not from Murphy for his nasty, profane and 100% incorrect attack – it’s not in his DNA – and not from the White House for calling Murphy those nasty names.
That said, however, which side do you think has a more valid reason to react nastily?
That’s not a tough one, is it?
