Greg Murphy: ‘We in DC are smarter than YOU.’
Congressman Greg Murphy is absolutely shameless. Despicable, too.
When the guy first ran to replace the late Walter Jones in Congress, he ran around the district thumping his Bible and claiming he had an epiphany about conservatism. Murphy carried a copy of Barry Goldwater‘s ‘Conscience of a Conservative’ everywhere he went and strongly insinuated that he would join forces with Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and The Freedom Caucus when he got to DC.
The voters bought what Murphy was selling and elected him. As soon as he got to DC, Murphy kissed off Meadows and Jordan – who campaigned heavily for and with him — and ran into the cold, dark embrace of then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. From that point forward, Murphy was a sycophantic follower of McCarthy and ‘leadership.’ (He even got caught apparently assaulting Matt Gaetz from behind during the effort to oust McCarthy from the speaker’s chair.)
If you’re not on Twitter / X, you need to be. THAT is where you get a good look at the real Greg Murphy. Murphy tried to talk trash to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), and she responded by suggesting he has no male genitalia. Murphy tried to suggest that ‘no one has sex against their will‘, but quickly got corrected on that by his own daughter.
Now, Murphy is on social media suggesting that he and the rest of the *smart guys* in DC are being kept from doing their jobs by the riff-raff at home:
No one elected you to keep mindlessly spending our country into bankruptcy and ignoring your constitutional duty. No one elected you to keep burying us and our great-great-grands in debt. Your job title is “representative.” HOW ABOUT actually ‘representing’ the folks back home ???
Utah senator Mike Lee (R) –one of the few conservative leaders left on Capitol Hill — had a great response to Murphy’s whining:
Note to Ted Budd: THIS GUY is who you should be following around and treating like a role model. Get your nose out of Thom’s posterior.
As you contemplate all this, check out this real-time US debt clock. (It’ll make you sick.)
We’ve got a lot of readers in Murphy’s district. You folks on the conservative side of things need to unify behind a candidate. One solid candidate can take Murphy out. If you guys keep fighting with each other, Murphy will keep winning (against 12 primary challengers or simply no challengers at all).
It’s not as hard to get him as you might think.
I knew that Medicaid Murphy was not going to be the taxpayer champion that Walter Jones was, but this is ridiculous. Walter Jones was a hero who voted against spending increases, tax increases, and debt limit increases. The Third District needs to find us another Walter Jones.
