In a fiery appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy openly called for mass street protests across the country—just days after left-wing rioters, pro-Palestinian agitators, and illegal immigrant groups turned Los Angeles into a war zone. The senator’s remarks are raising eyebrows and fueling concerns that this unrest is not spontaneous, but coordinated.
A Call to Action—And Escalation?
Murphy began with a lukewarm nod to peace, then swiftly pivoted to a nationwide mobilization effort:
“Obviously, this is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what’s happening to our immigrant community,” Murphy declared, before adding that it was also about protesting what he called the “most corrupt administration in the history of the country.”
Critics say Murphy’s comments come dangerously close to inciting further chaos—especially in the wake of explosive violence in Los Angeles, where ICE agents were attacked, federal buildings were vandalized, and large-scale riots overwhelmed local authorities.
Downplaying Riots, Targeting Trump
Murphy went further, accusing President Trump of trying to “manufacture a confrontation” to justify invoking the Insurrection Act.
“He’s taking a protest that is relatively isolated… and trying to turn it into something bigger,” Murphy claimed, dismissing the weekend’s scenes of arson and mayhem as essentially “normal.”
His tone and framing reveal a dangerous deflection: rather than condemn violent rioters, Murphy blames Trump for attempting to restore order.
The Bigger Picture
Murphy’s remarks seem to reflect a broader strategy on the Left: normalize street upheaval, downplay the violence, and use public demonstrations as a political weapon against Trump. As federal agencies investigate the coordination behind these protests, Americans are being forced to reckon with a stark reality—there are elected officials who appear more interested in fueling unrest than quelling it.
