Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., responded to President Trump’s tweet attacking MSNBC personality Mika Brzezinski by calling out Republicans for hypocrisy.
I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

Trump tweeted Thursday about the co-hosts of “Morning Joe,” referring to Joe Scarborough as “Psycho Joe” and Brzezinski as “low I.Q. Crazy Mika.”
…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

In a second tweet, Trump said both stayed at his Mar-a-Lago estate earlier in the year and “insisted” that Trump join them.
“She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!” Trump tweeted.
Murphy, responded to Trump earlier in the morning, later sent a tweet directed at Republicans implying they had a moral hypocrisy in their dealings with Trump and healthcare.
“Many Republicans will condemn this tweet in strong moral terms. Then they will spend rest of day trying end insurance for 22m Americans.”

Last week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis of the proposed Senate GOP healthcare legislation estimated 22 million people would lose their coverage. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced on Monday that a vote on the bill will be postponed until after the July 4 recess. Murphy said he will oppose the legislation.
