Murphy is in the fight of his life. This Senator from Connecticut is a wild animal that must be sent back to the wild. He is an advocate of $10 per gallon gas, against fracking, against hydrocarbons, against nuclear power. Murphy calls Trump voters racists.
Sen. Chris Murphy said ‘the border never closes.’ What does that mean?
Republican lawmakers who oppose a new bipartisan Senate immigration bill are using the words of one of the bill’s sponsors to bolster their opposition.
During a Feb. 6 news conference, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., held up an X post, blown up on a poster board, written by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.
“You can see this with Chris Murphy’s tweet,” Scott said, pointing to the board for the cameras. One line was highlighted: “The border never closes.”
“Chris Murphy was very candid,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said during the same press conference. “You know, they say in Washington a gaffe is when a politician accidentally tells the truth. Well there you go, Chris Murphy: ‘the border never closes’ the Democrats’ opening position is, ‘We will not close the border.’”
Republican Matthew Corey realizes he faces an uphill battle against a well-funded, two-term incumbent Democrat in a blue state.
But that has not stopped the East Hartford restaurant owner from pushing forward in his second attempt to unseat U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy in the Nov. 5 election. Corey lost to Murphy by 20 percentage points in 2018, but he believes the outcome will be different this year.With little money, Corey has struggled to gain attention from the electorate, staying off the airwaves until last week when he released two radio ads and two television commercials.
Meanwhile, Murphy’s commercials have been playing constantly on television news programs and interview shows like “The View” on ABC television, along with ESPN, Bravo and HGTV, among others. He also has a long history of winning races in Connecticut, including two statewide races for the Senate.
But Corey says he believes that Republican Donald J. Trump will win nationally for president and will perform better in Connecticut than expected.
