Democrats are so opposed to everything President Donald Trump does that they are apparently willing to applaud America\u2019s enemies.<\/p>\n

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, is under fire for appearing to support an Iranian fleet breaking through the United States blockade. He shared an article on X titled \u201cAt least 26 Iranian shadow fleet vessels bypass US blockade,\u201d which he simply captioned with \u201cawesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look:<\/p>\n

The article claims that, contrary to United States military claims that it has \u201cturned around over 20 vessels and \u2018completely halted\u2019 Iranian trade, Lloyd\u2019s List Intelligence shows a steady flow of shadow fleet traffic in and out of the Middle East Gulf.\u201d<\/p>\n

He later attempted to clarify what he meant by his comment, claiming it was \u201csarcasm\u201d:<\/p>\n

\n

Ok Twitter, I can\u2019t believe I need to clarify this but obviously Trump\u2019s bungled mismanagement of this war is not \u201cawesome\u201d. As I have said a million times here, it\u2019s a disaster and he should end the war immediately. My tweet was something called \u201csarcasm\u201d. https:\/\/t.co\/aL9vSEzZC1<\/a><\/p>\n

X users called out Murphy\u2019s reaction to the story:<\/p>\n

This douche bag should be censored and never allowed on a US military installation ever again. Our troops deserve better than seditious rhetoric from a sitting \u201crepresentative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Democrats are expected to disagree with Republicans.<\/p>\n

But cheering for our enemy, especially for a regime that has killed so many American citizens, is beyond the pale.<\/p>\n

Democrats in Congress ought to condemn this disgusting remark. https:\/\/t.co\/pKnQt5Onxs<\/a><\/p>\n

This U.S. senator is publicly cheering for America\u2019s enemy during war.<\/p>\n

The Senate should vote to censure him. https:\/\/t.co\/brGX8Ueip6<\/a><\/p>\n
