In a recent border bill debacle, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) has been throwing a temper tantrum of epic proportions. After the bill failed, Murphy has been in a snit and hasn’t been shy about sharing his foul mood with the world. The grumpy senator took to Twitter to spew some choice words, including some not-so-nice language that we won’t repeat here. It’s like a middle school cafeteria drama, but with less sophisticated insults.
Chris Murphy Sure Is in a Foul Mood About His Terrible Border Bill Failing

In a series of angry tweets, Murphy called out his Republican colleagues, basically calling their claims “bullsh–” and accusing them of being Trump puppets. He even went as far as to lash out at Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), who had the nerve to point out that “the left wants an open, insecure border.” Murphy seems to be about as pleasant as a grizzly bear with a toothache.
But let’s just take a step back here and look at the bigger picture. Murphy’s outbursts are as empty as a balloon with a tiny leak. The reality is that it’s the Democrats, not the Republicans, who are the real roadblock here. They championed a lousy bill that didn’t address the core issues at the border, and now they’re throwing a hissy fit when it didn’t pass. Classic case of sour grapes if you ask me.
And let’s not forget that President Joe Biden already has the authority to secure the border, no matter how many times he pretends otherwise. He even signed an executive order to end the emergency at the southern border and stop the border wall construction. Yeah, that really screams “border security,” doesn’t it?
Oh, and let’s not overlook the fact that the Democrats had control of the White House and the Senate, and they had the House for the first two years of Biden’s term. If anyone’s playing politics with the border, it’s the Democrats, especially as Biden still acts like he’s running for reelection. Talk about shameless posturing.
While Murphy is busy pointing fingers at everyone else, he conveniently forgets that he and his cronies have openly admitted that their priority is helping illegal immigrants. They’re so intent on playing the hero to anyone but American citizens.
So, in a nutshell, Murphy can stomp his feet and throw his little fit, but it doesn’t change the fact that the border bill was a flop, and the Democrats are the ones to blame. Maybe next time, they should focus on putting together a bill that actually addresses the problem, instead of using it as a political pawn. But hey, I doubt that’s going to happen anytime soon.
