On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) argued that focus on Russia has a been a “distraction” from economic contrasts between Democrats and President Trump and said that votes in his home state don’t talk about issues like Russia.
Murphy said, “Democrats have to be hyper-focused on an economic message that tells people that the Republican Party is all about economic growth for millionaires and billionaires, and the Democratic Party is about economic growth for everybody, and I think Robert Costa is right, the fact that we have spent so much time talking about Russia has been a distraction from what should be the clear contrast between Democrats and the Trump agenda, which is on economics. When I’m back in Connecticut, I often get on a commuter bus and ride it for just an hour to talk to folks that frankly, don’t normally call my office or write my office, and I’ll just say, they are never talking about issues like Russia. They are not talking frankly, about what’s on cable news at night.”
