Another day, another Democrat trashing the U.S. and its president while in another country.
The latest in the Democrat Party tradition is Sen. Chris Murphy, who grandstanded against the “forces of fascism” while in Spain, where he wasn’t exactly doing the job his Connecticut constituents elected him to do while in Washington, D.C. The senator was joined by fellow Democrats, such as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in addressing leftists at a progressive rally.
Murphy spoke at the Global Progressive Mobilization conference in Barcelona, warning of the “totalitarian takeover” by President Donald Trump and vowing to fight the corruption, while seemingly forgetting to call out the widespread corruption being exposed in Democrat-run cities across the U.S.
Is Barcelona a city in Connecticut? https://t.co/JiuqZXNgB6

Murphy, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, accused the Trump administration of being the “most significant threat to American democracy since the Civil War.”
“Donald Trump is out to end our democracy,” Murphy said. “We are not on the verge of a totalitarian takeover; we are in the middle of it.”
Total disgrace.

“He is trying to seize control of our courts, of our law enforcement, of our media, of our elections. His goal is oligarchic capture,” the Democrat railed.
Murphy declared that progressives in the U.S. and around the world “have to unite,” as he claimed, “the victory in Hungary just a week ago, it lifted our sails in the United States of America,” referring to Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar’s victory over former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
“They learn from each other,” the senator said as he slammed “right-wing movements.”
“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.”
“Many of these groups are fascist, anti-American, and Communists,” Richard Grenell, former acting director of national intelligence, said in a post reacting to Murphy.
“Attending this event as a U.S. Senator while bashing America is very concerning to me. This was an error in judgment to legitimize these groups,” he wrote. “The U.S. media have a responsibility to show America who these groups are.”
Social media users ripped Murphy as a “traitor” and called out his rhetoric overseas as “treasonous.”
Despicable @ChrisMurphyCT. A traitor to the U.S.

Whatever my problems with Republicans, I’m adding this video clip to my “why I don’t think that I can never vote for Democrats” file. You don’t go abroad and talk like this when your country is at war. It’s borderline treason. https://t.co/0ESTJ9vq8v

Can’t we pull his visa and leave him there and let him fully understand what his love for his idea of “democracy” is?

And it would be called treason today if the president was a Democrat and the senator a Republican.
