Fire Senator Chris Murphy!
Kevin McCullough
I have family serving in the United States Navy right now.
Active duty. Wearing the uniform. Standing watch. Doing the job that most politicians only reference when it’s convenient for a speech.
So I’m going to say this as plainly as it can be said. If you are in elected office in the United States of America, you do not get to—even for a second—appear to celebrate the success of a regime actively opposing American forces.
You don’t get to.
And yet, that is exactly what Democrat Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy did.
When a report circulated claiming that Iranian “shadow fleet” vessels had slipped past a U.S. naval blockade, Murphy responded with one word: “Awesome.”
Let’s pause right there. Because this matters.
That report—later pushed as Iranian propaganda and denied by U.S. officials—suggested that Iran had outmaneuvered American forces at sea.
