Murphy: Trump Has U.S. ‘Staring Death of Democracy in the Eyes’
Breitbart ^ | 02/11/2025 | Pam Key

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Monday on CNN’s “The Source” that President Donald Trump has America “staring the death of democracy in the eyes.”

Partial transcript as follows:

COLLINS: Senator Murphy, as we look at the developments that have happened, in the last 48 hours, what are your concerns about this moment that we’re at with the courts, with the President, and with this suggestion from two of his top advisers that maybe they defy the court’s rulings?

MURPHY: Yes, listen, I mean, this isn’t hyperbole to say that we are staring the death of democracy in the eyes, right now. The centerpiece of our democracy is that we observe court rulings. Criminal court rulings, civil court rulings and constitutional court rulings. No one is above the law. And whether we like it or not, the courts interpret the law.

So yes, throughout the history of the United States, the courts have made rulings on when the executive branch is exercising legal power, and when they are going beyond the power that they have, either constrained by statute, or by the Constitution, just as they regularly rule on whether or not individuals have complied with the law or violated the law, whether those be civil laws or criminal laws

Democrats only believe in democracy when they are allowed to steal elections.

Democracy dies with Democrats.

TDS is real. Murphy and fellow believers in this idiotic perspective are mentally ill or demon possessed.

Chrissy, where were you when Biden was destroying democracy over student loan forgiveness? Such selective memory…

Apparently he didn’t get the message. The new buzz words are constitutional crisis. Death of democracy didn’t work out.

Are they not familiar with the boy who cried wolf fairy tale?

No one believes their anti-democracy screeds anymore. They're trying desperately to hide their grifting and everyone knows it.

Democracy. That’s their go-to word

The President swears an oath of office. His job description fits ito that

Murphy should go over it. He has the same one

Protect and defend the constitution of the U.S. from enemies

Where is ‘democracy’ in there?

I hope he does, Murphy, because “your democracy” is an outright, dire threat to our Constitutional Republic. You and your communist filthy ilk have done nothing but try to destroy this great nation. You need to be locked up in a padded cell, arsehole.

You have to admit, democracy is a better sale than kleptocracy.

My instant reaction to that headline was to roll my eyes, and say: “Bitch, please!”

Drama Queens. That’s why the Demoncrats have an affinity with trannies. They’re the same way. Petulant little children that have never grown up.

Murphy: Trump Has U.S. ‘Staring Death of Democracy in the Eyes’

Overly melodramatic, even for drama queen chris murphy (d-CT).

Trump ran on (among many other things) cleaning out the Aegean Stables of Washington.

Trump won the election.

Trump, Musk and his combat accountants divert the river to start flushing out decades of BS.

How is that not Democracy? If anything it is closer to the Athenian democracy the Dems beg for as opposed to a republic, where the current desires of the populous are instantly put into place.
