This is a vile and irresponsible response from a sitting Democrat U.S. Senator.
Sen. Murphy knows of the countless examples of leftists being exposed for celebrating and justifying the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Instead of denouncing it, he chooses to ignore it.
The rhetoric he employs, "something dark may be coming," and the fear mongering about "anti-Democratic" Republicans is the exact sort of rhetoric that encourages acts of violence.
Sen. Murphy is attempting to quash and silence anyone who dares to call out the real threat to free speech—anyone who is celebrating and justifying the murder of a man who encouraged vigorous, public debate on college campuses.
Sen. Murphy's rhetoric is dangerous and will likely lead to more violence.
If Sen. Murphy truly cared about free speech, he would speak up against those celebrating the murder of a man in the act of defending free speech by hosting a vigorous, open debate on a college campus.
When will these irresponsible politicians be held accountable for their role in the destruction of the American principle of open, civil discourse?
This man is a liar, a bully, and a danger to the future of America.
Peacefully express your opinions. Decent Americans have a duty to step up.
SEN. CHRIS MURPHY OFFICE NUMBER: (202) 224-4041
We need…
The Charlie Kirk Act and The Iryna Zarutska Act.
The Charlie Kirk Act to the end the Government’s use of the Media to spread propaganda.
The Iryna Zarutska Act to hold judges accountable for releasing criminals that end up terrorizing society.
Are you fucking kidding me @ChrisMurphyCT?!
Your party has been CELEBRATING Charlie’s ass*ssinat*on and PRAISING the leftist shooter.
Don’t you dare blame the political violence and division on Trump and Republicans.
This attempt to rewrite reality is DISGUSTING
Two things are happening right now:
- The world is seeing just how evil the Left is.
- The world is seeing just how peaceful the Right is.
There's no more grey area. Pick a side. Good or evil.
This @ChrisMurphyCT has become an agitator asking for violence and war against Americans who simply have a different opinion then his. He is disgusting and should be censored by his own party. Enough is enough
Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, killed him because he hated his opinions and thought he was a fascist. Yet ironically, HE was the fascist, killing someone to silence their opposing views.
The woke left love to say ‘speech is violent.’
It’s not - violence is.
There was time when saying ya worked @CBSSports for the so called “Tiffany Network” at least in sports mattered. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences there. The level of professionalism and decorum was its calling card. Walking thru the Broadcast Center to Studio 43 was an honor. This kind of rhetoric would never have been tolerated. Some of what’s on line today is disgusting but when ya see this on airwaves once considered pillars of journalism it’s no small wonder how we’ve plummeted. It’s beyond the pale what’s said here. Where and when does this end?
Charlie Kirk's tour was literally about his willingness to talk to anyone and to debate anything, and he was still shot.
Discussion doesn't work with terrorists and other animals.
Whether you agreed with him or not, Charlie Kirk is dead purely because some people didn't like what he had to say. That should outrage every single one of us.
They killed a 31 year old father of two whose only crime was to go to university campuses and engage in good faith with people who disagreed with him. If this isn’t a wake up call then we’re never going to wake up.
