The White House slammed Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy as a "moron" on social media after the Connecticut lawmaker posted an expletive-riddled admonishment against a Lara Trump parody account he seemingly believed belonged to the president's daughter-in-law.
"You are a moron, Chris. It is obvious this page is not affiliated with President Trump, his family, or the administration. We do, however, support your right to make such a statement, no matter how imbecilic it makes you look," the White House's X account, Rapid Response 47, said in a message posted on Friday.
The rapid response account is a new White House account that was launched in January to hold "fake news accountable."
The White House was responding to Murphy singling out a social media post he ostensibly believed Lara Trump posted regarding border czar Tom Homan potentially arresting Rep. Alexandira Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. Murphy included a screenshot of the alleged Lara Trump tweet, showing the handle for the account belongs to an X page called the "Lara Trump Page," a parody fan account – not her official X account.
"If you support Border Czar Tom Homan arresting AOC for giving illegal aliens instructions on how to avoid deportation, post a [thumbs up emoji] in the comments," the fan page account posted on Thursday. "Make your voice heard."
Murphy responded to the social media post by arguing the Trump administration has "some f------ gall" discussing free speech when advocating for the arrest of a Democrat.

He’s one of the dumbest ones in the Senate, next to Crazie Mazie
Another mean tweet! OMG!
Yup - that's all Murphy has going for him: "I'm not as stupid as Mazie Hirono"
In any event, aiding and abetting a crime is not covered by “free speech”.
I don’t think there is a single democrat in the Senate that has more than a single brain cell.
The White House slammed Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy as a “moron”
Where is the lie? Murphy IS a moron.
Senator Murphy is TERRIFIED that DOGE is going to find out about ALL the dough he made from USAID and other money laundering operations..besides that fact he’s also a total moron
Chris is now crying in his safe space.
Quite well.
And Fauxahontas Warren.
Rapid Response 47...genius. Keep ‘em on the ropes.
You can’t talk that way about the Hero of the Battle of Hartford!
As long as Patty Murey (D) (Osama bin Laden)WA keeps quiet
Really? The House and Senate are filled with idiots on both sides although the left has probable 3 to 1 advantage.
For the record, that was Brian Williams. 🐼
Maybe he can get a crisis hug from Bill Maher or Robert DeNiro.
CNN’s Collins posted the go fund me link for a murderer. Incompetent. Nefarious.
None of them do.
Murphy sure has a lot of issues. He needs to see a shrink.
