Sen. Chris Murphy threatens to ‘go all Richard Sherman on Republicans’; Nobody in particular intimidated

Posted at 11:22 pm on January 19, 2014 by Doug P.

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) obviously watched the end of the 49ers/Seahawks game when Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman went over-the-top during a post-game interview with Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews.

The senator might be looking to re-enact Sherman’s performance:

If we don't pass an unemployment benefits extension soon, I'm gonna go all Richard Sherman on the Republicans.

How very intimidated the Republicans must be!

Or maybe not:

Ehh. No RT @ChrisMurphyCT: If we don't pass an unemployment benefits extension soon, I'm gonna go all Richard Sherman on the Republicans.

@ChrisMurphyCT Now would be a good time to stop tweeting and contact your PR people.

I don't think @ChrisMurphyCT or his comms team realize that equating your behavior to that of Richard Sherman is generally a bad thing.
