Never enough. Murphy ends campaign with $5.6 million, continues raising money for “the movement.”

Senator Chris Murphy won a third six-year term to the U.S. Senate on November 5th. Three weeks later he reported having a hefty $5.6 million in his never-ending campaign account.

Murphy ends 2024, both a successful and disappointing year for the career politician, by asking supporters and others for…..more money. The demagogue sent text messages “a humble request.” His “final FEC deadline” is at midnight. He needs money to “demonstrate the depth of support for our movement.” That “movement” would be the Friends of Chris Murphy campaign committee. The campaign has ended. This now becomes a slush fund with a lot of dough sloshing around.

Murphy’s movement is an amorphous concept. He is the Senate’s champion of removing the designation of the Houthis as a foreign terrorist group. The Houthis have been disrupting world shipping by firing missiles on ships in the Red Sea since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. In the immediate aftermath of the assassination of health insurance executive Brian Thompson, Murphy put on his baseball cap, looked into a camera and designated healthcare executives “killers.”

It is an odd movement indeed that is harsher on American healthcare executives and Murphy movement donors than it is on the murderous Houthis, whose slogan is “God is great, death to the U.S., death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam.” Or maybe the Connecticut Democrat will use the movement funds to help the lonely young men he goes on about to find some friends.

A new year will bring new fashions and a fella can always use some money to sniff them out and run to the front of them.
