This is a moment for all of us to be out the streets protesting because if you don't raise your voices right now about the assault on free speech about Donald Trump's decision to disgustingly exploit the murder of Charlie Kirk so as to try to permanently render powerless and impotent, those who politically oppose him, there may be no democracy to save a year from now.”
Host / other voice“Chris Murphy, the senator from Connecticut, who is yet again talking about how the right is destabilized in the country with their rhetoric when literally the day before Charlie Kirk's assassination, is Chris Murphy who told Democrats you're at war and must get comfortable doing things you otherwise would not do.”
