Hot Takes: Chris Murphy Appears to Openly Cheer Iran on X, and His Explainer Only Makes It Worse

As is the case with domestic policy, there are going to be criticisms of foreign policy where the person may have a fair point. But in the case of Democrats on the issue of Operation Epic Fury, what we're getting daily is TDS on steroids, topped with complete 180s from some of these folks on holding the Iranian regime accountable for its nuclear ambitions.

As we reported, there was, for instance, former Vice President Kamala Harris proclaiming Trump "is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a 'whole civilization' — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it," while adding that "We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice."

Left out, of course, were Harris' previous statements on Iran, which included telling Jewish voters in October 2024 that "all options are on the table" to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and that it would be her "highest priority" if elected president.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) has been another Democrat who has been against the strikes on Iran from the start, so much so that it appeared he was actually cheering on Iran in a Monday tweet in which he replied "awesome" to a dubiously sourced "report" of Iranian fleet vessels allegedly bypassing the U.S. blockade:

The original tweet from Murphy is still up as of this writing. 

Naturally, this prompted quite an outcry on X. But Murphy's response, which was to claim he was being "sarcastic," only made it worse:

There was also this inconvenient reminder:
By the way, the "report" Murphy cited in his "awesome" tweet? Debunked:
We're still awaiting an update on his opinion in light of this news, but suffice it to say that he will no longer view it as an "awesome" thing, because the news that the report was debunked is not just good news for Trump, it's also good for America, and as far as TDS-afflicted Democrats go, we simply can't have that.
