Dem Senator Who Mocked Trump As ‘Literal Laughingstock’ After Killing Of Soleimani Holds Secret Meeting With Iranian Official, Report Says
daily wire ^ | 2/17/2020 | Hank Berrien

The Democratic senator who mocked President Trump after Trump ordered the killing of Iranian general and terror leader Qassem Soleimani, saying Trump had ‘made us a literal laughingstock” around the world, held a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference last week, according to a source briefed by the French delegation to the conference.

The Federalist reports that Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who had mocked Trump in early January, joined other Democratic senators for that secret meeting. What makes Murphy’s action particularly hypocritical is that in the past, he has bitterly slammed the idea that senators might interfere with a current administration’s foreign policy.

In 2015, 47 senators signed an open letter to Iran’s leaders that was never even sent to Iran in which they warned, “We will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei … The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen, and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.”

Murphy ranted to the National Journal, “I can’t even imagine the uproar if Democratic senators [had been] writing to Saddam Hussein in the lead up to the Iraq War,” adding that Republicans “have made it crystal clear that this has nothing to do with the merits of the deal. This has everything to do with undermining the president.”

The American people sure tolerate a lot. It seems to be a bottomless pit of what they accept.

“...saying Trump had ‘made us a literal laughingstock” around the world,...”

I missed this. Can someone please explain what exactly it is or what was done by Trump which this moron thinks made us “a laughingstock around the world”?

Certainly no one was laughing when Soleimani was obliterated.

Exactly, Obama was not a natural born citizen and not legally president.

Trumps people need to be creating a Confidential File on Congressman Collins. He’s up to some dirty dealings.

Pardon Me! I meant to say Senator Christopher Murphy!
I don’t know how I got those two guys mixed up, except to say, I have heard the names, but know little about either, including how they look. Mistakes were made.

DC Democrats still colluding with a sworn enemy. It is reasonable to suspect they are undermining President Trump and this country as a whole. There needs to be legal consequences for doing that. Oh wait, doesn’t that fall under TREASON on both accounts?

What they did was ILLEGAL. Arrest them and charge them violating the Logan Act.

No one is above the law. Pelosi and Schumer have repeated it ad nauseum.

What positive thing could this guy possible have to talk with Iran's
officials about?

This is just troubling, to say the very least.

These Democrats are actual traitors. /Captain Obvious

There’s no other way to say it.

No patriotic American can stay in the Democratic Party. Especially after the last 3 years.

“Only two people have ever been indicted on charges of violating the Act,[3] one in 1802 and the other in 1852.[4] Neither was convicted of violating the Act.”

From Wikipedia..
