Sitting U.S. Senator actively roots for Iran in response to blockade breach

Democrats are so opposed to everything President Donald Trump does that they are apparently willing to applaud America’s enemies.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, is under fire for appearing to support an Iranian fleet breaking through the United States blockade. He shared an article on X titled “At least 26 Iranian shadow fleet vessels bypass US blockade,” which he simply captioned with “awesome.”

Look:

awesome https://t.co/nRj1trI3rF

The article claims that, contrary to United States military claims that it has “turned around over 20 vessels and ‘completely halted’ Iranian trade, Lloyd’s List Intelligence shows a steady flow of shadow fleet traffic in and out of the Middle East Gulf.”

He later attempted to clarify what he meant by his comment, claiming it was “sarcasm”:

Ok Twitter, I can’t believe I need to clarify this but obviously Trump’s bungled mismanagement of this war is not “awesome”. As I have said a million times here, it’s a disaster and he should end the war immediately. My tweet was something called “sarcasm”. https://t.co/aL9vSEzZC1

X users called out Murphy’s reaction to the story:

A sitting U.S. Senator is actively rooting for Iran

This douche bag should be censored and never allowed on a US military installation ever again. Our troops deserve better than seditious rhetoric from a sitting “representative.”

This is reprehensible! What are your thoughts? https://t.co/4Li65axkZ4

Senate Democrats are expected to disagree with Republicans.

But cheering for our enemy, especially for a regime that has killed so many American citizens, is beyond the pale.

Democrats in Congress ought to condemn this disgusting remark. https://t.co/pKnQt5Onxs

This U.S. senator is publicly cheering for America’s enemy during war.

The Senate should vote to censure him. https://t.co/brGX8Ueip6

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) responds to report that 26 Iranian ships in its shadow fleet have made it past the US blockade in the Gulf of Oman.

“Awesome.” https://t.co/FzsMKaQOR9

Not really surprising coming from a guy who secretly met with regime officials in 2020. https://t.co/EF3OiPwmvZ

A US Senator literally rooting against his own country.

You might even call it treasonous.

The biggest scumbag in Congress. https://t.co/7ZxDnqRAvm
