Sen. Chris Murphy has been quite vocal lately, both on X and in the real world, making it clear that he would be the one to lead the resistance against the illegal Trump administration. He posted the other day that he promised "no complicity" and "fierce opposition." He's been whining about the government having been handed over to the billionaires since the Tech Bros attended President Donald Trump's inauguration, so of course he's joining the narrative that Elon Musk is actually in charge.
On Saturday, Murphy posted an eight-second video of the huge crowd at a school auditorium who'd gathered "to plan how to fight Trump's illegal seizure of power."
Huge crowd in Duffy School’s auditorium in West Hartford today to plan how to fight Trump’s illegal seizure of power. Had to set up an overflow room for people to watch the livestream. pic.twitter.com/3BX6j8YTsY

At the end of the clip, he appears to make a half-hearted Nazi salute to the audience.
Looks like the same crowd that shows up to bingo night at Shady Acres Retirement Home

When all these people wake up and realize how you've been lying to them it's not going to be pretty

What illegal seizure of power are you referring to?
— Barbie True Blue (@BarbieTrueBlue) February 8, 2025
Sincere question.
Trump was elected and is following through on the things he promised he would do. What the American people voted for.
Trump was legally elected by winning all 7 swing states, the electoral college, and the popular vote.

It’s called winning an election.

Explain to your crowd why USAID needed to fund trans operas and comic books… and why Guatemala needed their sex changes paid for.

Election denial.

So tell me Murph how is it a duly elected President has seized power in your opinion. He is doing what the people elected him to do.

There is nothing illegal being done by auditing the books.

Wait.... you are fighting FOR fraud, corruption, and waste?
— Arthur Welling (@Carteach0) February 8, 2025
Um... did you say the quiet part out loud there?
Murphy's just mad because a kid who goes by "Big Balls" is routing out waste and corruption.
Are you supporting an insurrection? 😔

Nothing illegal about Trump’s clear landslide mandate.
What I see here is an auditorium of crybabies that see that the bureaucracy they crave is going bye bye.
Murphy is a hero in his own mind. The fact that he was cheered on by people gullible enough to vote for him says it all.
