Would you look at that? Chris Murphy is now backpedaling on his post cheering Iran's Islamic Regime against America. He wants us all to believe he was being sarcastic and was only making a dig at Trump.
Now, could this be true? Sure. Do we think he's trying to save face? Yes.
Of course, Murphy being Murphy, he's doing a really bad job of backpedaling and lashing out:
Ok Twitter, I can’t believe I need to clarify this but obviously Trump’s bungled mismanagement of this war is not “awesome”. As I have said a million times here, it’s a disaster and he should end the war immediately. My tweet was something called “sarcasm”. https://t.co/aL9vSEzZC1

No, Chris. Your tweet was something called TREASON.
-- UPDATE --
JUST IN: Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy doesn't say he has any regrets after furious backlash to his X post calling reports of Iranian ships slipping past the U.S. naval blockade "awesome."

"I guess I just have to be more careful about sarcasm on Twitter," Murphy exclusively told… pic.twitter.com/MB6nuZjY9V
-- END UPDATE --
Except that you were amplifying factually inaccurate Iranian propaganda with your tin-eared “sarcasm”, Chris. The sources you choose to lend credence to say a lot about who you are and where your allegiances liehttps://t.co/iazRB77Fty

So you believe the Propaganda minister of Iran and were making a funny?
— EducatëdHillbilly™ (@RobProvince) April 21, 2026
It’s wasn’t sarcasm, Chris.
— Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) April 21, 2026
You have such bad TDS that you were openly cheering for a terrorist state regime.
Good job, bud.
Yeah, bud.
No. You’re rooting for Islamic terrorists in Iran!

We all saw it.
You support terrorists, we see you.

🖕🏼 zero part of this was sarcasm.
— Chad Caton🎙🇺🇸 (@ImFiredUp2) April 21, 2026
Your speeches back this statement up 1000%.
You want his failure. Your triggered self can’t help yourself.
RESIGN TRAITOR.
He really should, although we're not holding our breath waiting for him to do the right thing.
This you? https://t.co/ZcHwy8qBJp
