'What an idiot'! Dem Rep. Murphy REALLY sucks at the Minimum Wage Challenge [pics]

Democratic politicians are really bad at this whole down-with-the-struggle thing. But that doesn’t stop them from trying to get away with it anyway.

Florida Rep. Patrick Murphy is having a pretty rough go of it:

Minimum Wage Challenge, Day 3 — groceries with my $17 daily budget was a challenge. #FLfor15 #FightFor15 pic.twitter.com/vU0cLn7irg

Spending $119/week on food for one person seems exorbitant. https://t.co/ajnc8IidUJ

@KFoleyFL @PatrickMurphyFL probably shouldn't buy name brands at CVS

— Kyle (@KyleHenson4) March 4, 2016

Lol no shit it's a challenge. You bought name brands and didn't go to a GROCERY store. #Ming https://t.co/0kIr8uiYnA

— Kyle (@KyleHenson4) March 4, 2016

Well probably because you're buying groceries from CVS like a moron. https://t.co/yftwloSEXm

@PatrickMurphyFL CVS? The absolute last place anyone with half a brain would shop for groceries.

@Matthops82 @PatrickMurphyFL Yea, I've been a poor single mom, dude, & we don't shop at CVS for groceries.

— Allison (@Mom_Mommy_Momma) March 4, 2016

@PatrickMurphyFL You could buy plenty at a real grocery store. Get meat on sale, etc… Not smart.

— Carrie ?? (@carriexmanning) March 4, 2016

Um Your 1st mistake is name brand, 2nd is CVS. Idiot. 3rd Try Publix BOGO. Not that hard. https://t.co/KORcC3p3hB

— Michelle (@michnic70) March 4, 2016

@PatrickMurphyFL Go to Aldi or WalMart. Never buy food at a drug store. Buy store brands.

— Nan Crews (@nancrews) March 4, 2016

@MrFoPow @JustEric @PatrickMurphyFL yeah dude. Go to aldi

Or is Walmart just a bridge too far, Rep. Murphy?

@PatrickMurphyFL I recommend not buying premium brands, m'dear. If you're eating pb&j it doesn't need to be Jif & Smuckers. #foodforthought

— Shan (@blearyginger) March 4, 2016

@PatrickMurphyFL lol at buying name brand items while doing a "look at me" challenge. No wonder we are $19 trillion in debt. Take a hike.

@JustEric @MrFoPow @PatrickMurphyFL Trying to show how in touch he is w/his fellow man, only to show how out of touch he is

— PollyPhemous (@PollySpin) March 4, 2016

Seriously.

@PatrickMurphyFL this is hilarious, what an idiot

Exit question:

When there's a $15 minimum wage, what do you think those three items will cost? https://t.co/DFfCueHhxZ

— Ellis Hugh (@ikeonic) March 4, 2016

Exactly.

@PatrickMurphyFL
1)groceries @ CVS=stupid
2)brandnames on budget=stupid
