Sen. Chris Murphy Says We Need to Talk About Elon Musk's 'Heil Hitler' Salutes

Sen. Chris Murphy is like a dog with a bone. He obviously has a bug up his butt about Elon Musk.

All you need to know. The billionaires are in charge. Not you. https://t.co/oayrMukR0H

As our own Queen of Twitchy™ reported earlier, Brit Hume had just a few words for Murphy, who posted that it wasn't a gaffe — it was clear as day that Musk had given two Nazi salutes on Inauguration Day. "Feels like this is all we should be talking about tomorrow," he posted, asking if we all hadn't seen the anti-Semitism in MAGA. (Yeah, all of those pro-Hamas protesters in the street with Palestinian flags are MAGA.)

This belongs in the bullsh*t hall of fame. https://t.co/V3nyYxwgOa

As we reported earlier, Elise Stefanik, whom President Donald Trump has nominated to be our next U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but none of the senators seemed to have any interest in her suitability for the job. Sen. Tim Kaine badgered her about her "fantasy" that any Democratic senators are for an open border.

Murphy, on the other hand, wanted Stefanik's take on Musk's two "Heil Hitler" salutes. Again, what was this hearing about?

We need to talk about what happened last night.

I asked Trump's UN nominee, who wants to lead an effort to combat antisemitism at the UN, what she thought about Elon's Musk's Nazi salute and the celebration of it by domestic neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups. pic.twitter.com/OZCfFzhOEo

No, we don't need to talk about this.

Instead, we need to talk about what an unserious dumbass you are that you think spreading a stupid lie about Elon Musk is an appropriate way to spend your time in a confirmation hearing for our UN Ambassador.

Grow up, you petulant child.
