Retiring Dem Rep Decries Party’s Radical Turn
Josh Christenson


In an interview published Friday by Politico, retiring Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D., Fla.) decried the Democratic Party's radical turn on issues ranging from immigration to infrastructure to capitalism.

Murphy is among a dwindling group of Democratic lawmakers concerned about her party's inability to stand up to left-wing groups. She accused her party's leadership of pandering to factions who are soft on crime and want to "dismantle capitalism" and pursue open borders. During her six years in Congress, she said "immigrant groups" have often maligned her, a Vietnamese refugee, as "anti-immigrant" for pursuing immigration reform.

"I believe in immigration and comprehensive immigration reform and the ability for people to immigrate to the United States in a legal way," Murphy said. "But I also believe in law and order and ensuring that we hold people who commit crimes accountable. … I'm a refugee. I'm an immigrant. I'm not anti-immigrant."

Murphy blames her party's leaders for the shift, saying they have cowed interest groups into their game of political brinkmanship. During last year's infrastructure discussions, she said, Democratic leadership drove the political action of labor unions more than union members did.

"The infrastructure bill was one of the most historic job-creating bills for labor," Murphy said. "And instead of [being] focused on the bill that would create jobs today for their members, they were focused on carrying out the Democratic leadership's approach to the two bills."

The shift, Murphy said, has caused some groups to even give up reading bills, choosing instead to advocate whatever Democratic leadership tells them.

"We had environmental groups that were calling us before the legislation text for the Build Back Better Act had been put out, calling us saying, ‘If you don't support that, we are going to delist you. We won't support you. We won't endorse you,'" Murphy said. "And when you ask them back, ‘Well, what's in the Build Back Better Act that you are so supportive of,' they couldn't define it specifically because nobody had seen the text."

Murphy announced in December she would not seek reelection. In her interview, she issued a parting shot against Democrats who have pressed for unpopular policies despite their narrow advantage in the House and Senate.

"I can't tell you the number of times I said, ‘You can't keep promising rainbows and unicorns when your political reality is such narrow margins in the House and a dead-even Senate,'" Murphy said. "They took the difference between rainbows and unicorns and political reality—which is anger and disappointment—and turned that anger and disappointment against their own members."

Point well taken. The radical left will be the demise of the Democratic Party. I get a sense that the American Public is approaching a "I'm Mad As Hell, And I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore!".

But it doesn't just end with the radical left elements of the Democratic Party. We need to purge the leadership in both political parties. We need to get rid of the Mitch McConnell's, Kevin McCarthy's, Nancy Pelosi's and Chuck Schumer's of this world.

We need to get rid of the RINO's like Liz Cheney, Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Sasse, Pat Toomey, Richard Burr, Adam Kinzinger, John Katko, Fred Upton, Jaime Herrera, Dan Newhouse, Tom Rice, Anthony Gonzales, and Peter Meijer.

We need responsible, principled, and ethical members in both parties to be put into position of leadership. We need more politicians like Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and Tulsi Gabbard, on the Democrat side, and Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Lauren Boebert, Scott Perry, Jim Jordan, and Thomas Massie on the Republican side.

X <——- eye roll here !!!!!
None of those listed have a moral bone in their bodies. They each lack compassion and will never be an asset to Any party they join.
Aren’t those the little frogs that popped up after the rain ?
Bought and paid for by The Koch Family.
Their mission is to create hate , discontent
And Chaos .
What makes them in your opinion such fine individuals that should be replicated?
They’ve already turned felons loose, ignored high crimes and misdemeanors,
Support everything that is killing off humanity, and you think we need more of them?
On a scale of one to ten
Where would you say your scruples land ?

They have stayed in the shadows manipulating the course this country . The Koch’s were firmly with the belief the the south will rise again.
They have done more damage than you seem to know about. From starting the tea party to the
American Legislative Exchange Council
-ALEC.- Who has been writing new laws for Republican legislatures to pass.
Like Citizens United. All Koch.
They have stayed out of the news for the most part , baking you think they haven’t had much sway in anything , this is exactly what they were trying to do.
All of the caucuses like FreedomWorks,
Familyfreedom , all Koch’s money.
The tea party invading congress is all Koch’s
Money.
How do You think all of this nonsense including your sway in politics to hating democracy has transpired ?
It wasn’t by accident. The Koch’s don’t care who wins , as long as it’s THEM !
The XL Pipeline only benefited the Koch’s.
No one else. We got stuck with the oil spills, the toxic chemicals taken out of the tar sludge used to make it flow better. Now our problem.
What did we get for all this effort ????
Nothing.
It didn’t benefit anyone but the Koch’s.
The river banks up in Minnesota (I think)
Are piled with toxic sludge that we now need to move someplace else.
All from Koch Carbon. They’re killing you too pal.
