In the latest sign of how Trump Derangement Syndrome is pushing Democrats toward outright treason, Sen. Chris Murphy greeted a report that 26 Iranian ships allegedly evaded the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> by tweeting \u201cAwesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Connecticut Democrat\u2019s repulsive celebration <\/a>amounts to a prayer for American failure, and ultimately for the death of our troops as well as for abandoning the Iranian people who the regime holds captive.<\/p>\n

Criticizing military strategy or goals, or even the prudence of launching Operation Epic Fury, is fair enough \u2014 but openly cheering for the enemy<\/a> when American soldiers are putting their lives on the line is something else entirely.<\/p>\n

After a barrage of criticism, Murphy wormily claimed his cheering for Iran was just \u201csarcasm\u201d and his actual point was supposedly that Epic Fury is \u201ca disaster\u201d that should end \u201cimmediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy\u2019s history on Iran explodes that pretense. <\/p>\n

Back in 2020, Murphy held secret meetings with top Iranian officials<\/a> during the Munich Security Conference; at the time, he claimed it was \u201ca way to ease tensions and reduce the chances for crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Except the Constitution reserves foreign relations for the Executive Branch, and then-President Donald Trump didn\u2019t task Murphy with building diplomatic back channels with Tehran; the meetings were obviously a bid to undermine US foreign policy, encouraging Iran to stonewall Trump in expectation that a Democrat would retake the White House and re-establish Obama-era appeasement.<\/p>\n

Nor is the tweet Murphy\u2019s only bid to succor Iran\u2019s evil government. <\/p>\n

He denounced Epic Fury as an \u201cillegal war\u201d at last week\u2019s Soros-organized Global Progressive Mobilization conference in Barcelona; palling around with Spain\u2019s America-hating lefty Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez, he claimed the prez has put the United States on the \u201cverge of a totalitarian takeover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadly, Murphy\u2019s extremism puts him smack in the middle of today\u2019s Democratic consensus, which favors a nuclear-armed Iranian regime that bombs our allies and murders its citizens over the chance that Trump may score a success.<\/p>\n

Maybe if Democrats could finds something to stand for besides a toxic agenda of defeatism abroad and open borders and economy-killing socialism at home, they wouldn\u2019t need to obsess about Trump and could even find it sufficient patriotism in time of war to side with their own country against the 7th-century barbarians who rule Iran. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the latest sign of how Trump Derangement Syndrome is pushing Democrats toward outright treason, Sen.
