As Twitchy reported yesterday, Democrat U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy tweeted a claim that he took his 9-year old to task for saying the Koch brothers have “good commercials.” Koch Industries tweeted back this response:
Please tell your 9 year old thanks! If you want to learn about our environmental responsibility efforts visit https://t.co/Fu0kjbOtLM

Murphy probably should have let it go at that point, but of course couldn’t:
I did. Then:
Me: You know how u love science in school?
9 yr old: Yeah.
Me: The Kochs don't believe in it.
9 yr old: What? I don't get it. https://t.co/TKmF026jUJ— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) October 27, 2017
Murphy had at that point fully set himself up for fail:
This is the worst attempt to cover up getting Rekt of the month

He should have, because it really was an epically failed comeback:

You were saying, Sen. Murphy?
This is silly. Charles Koch has an MS in Nuclear Engineering and an MS in Chemical Engineering from MIT.

You’re saying that two men with Masters degrees from MIT don’t believe in science. Don’t let your partisanship get in the way of facts.

Charles Koch went to MIT & has 2 masters degrees, one in nuclear engineering, one in chem engineering. Yeah, he doesn't believe in science. https://t.co/EHKbDe64lz

You are an ignorant asshole. Maybe you should check the degrees of Charles Koch. https://t.co/o81SmizNcq

Senator,
How much have you donated to cancer research?
David Koch has donated $1.2 BILLION.
Tell that to your 9 yr old. https://t.co/OwD2dyBPJl

Will Murphy have some sort of “the jerk store called” comeback at the ready. Stay tuned!
