Senator Chris Murphy Says Trump’s Plan to ‘Cripple Our Democracy’ Underway

"Not every Trump opponent will fold, but many will," Sen. Chris Murphy warned, emphasizing the chilling effect of selective prosecution under Trump's plan to "cripple our democracy."

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.) said President-elect Trump’s plan to “cripple our democracy” is already underway.

In a lengthy post thread on social platform X on Tuesday, Murphy argued that it’s “happening right in front of our eyes” and has “accelerated rapidly” over the last 24 hours.

“Can I take a minute to connect the dots – on how Trump is putting into action a plan to cripple our democracy in a way we may never recover from?” Murphy said.

The senator was responding to a post from the Committee on House Administration’s Oversight Subcommittee, which detailed a GOP-led reportthat recommended a criminal investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who sat on the House panel on the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
