CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe reported earlier today on “obvious signs of social distancing at” the White House:
MORE: Obvious signs of social distancing at WH today: @VP Pence and Dr. Birx appeared during teleconference w/ govs on split-screen in separate rooms w/in the White House complex while other admin officials joined by telephone, according to participant on the call. (More…)

For some reason, that inspired this tweet from Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy:
LIBERATE THE WHITE HOUSE. https://t.co/tfcI3FCz38

‘Scuse us?
Good one Chris! LOL!

A+ troll

Oh, so it’s trolling when Chris Murphy does it? We could’ve sworn that sort of thing constituted inflammatory rhetoric, Senator.
Maybe because you treated it as such not that long ago:
Here's the hypocrisy meter so you can see how you thought it was horrible when Trump did exactly what you're doing: https://t.co/RDYjE1jZgV pic.twitter.com/ZkfSpaLeU7

Armed groups of citizens are gathering outside state capitols run by the President’s political opponents, and he is egging them on to “liberate” their states.
We worried, what will Trump do when he faces a real crisis?
And honestly, the answer is worse than anything I imagined. pic.twitter.com/A6i1JGJZrL

Dangerous incitement when Trump does it, clever snark when Chris Murphy does it.
Isn't this sort of language supposed to be very dangerous??? That's what I heard

I thought that "LIBERATE XYZ!" was a call for armed rebellion. https://t.co/qVE4HFYYOr

Is this a call to arms, Chris?

Dangerous rhetoric inciting violence… tisk tisk

I thought using the word "liberate" was dangerous incitement to violence. Is that not case anymore? I'm having a hard time keeping up with the ever changing Democrat language rule book.
— Paul Georgia (@PGtwentytwo) May 11, 2020
I thought this was dangerous. I better report the tweet just in case.
