Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) cautioned Democrats on MSNBC's Morning Joe against becoming distracted by President Trump's recent actions in Los Angeles, particularly the federalization of the National Guard for anti-ICE protests. He emphasized that Trump's focus on these issues may serve as a distraction from his budget legislation, which could have dire implications for 15 million people losing healthcare and a $2 trillion increase to the deficit. Murphy underscored the need to address both the risks associated with Trump's actions and the potential impact of his proposed legislation on the American economy.
We have to point out the danger of what he's proposing to do in Los Angeles while also keeping our eye on the ball, which is a bill that's going to transform our economy and ruin a lot of lives.
Right now, Donald Trump is trying to pass probably the most unpopular piece of legislation that he will attempt to move through Congress in his first term.
