While the rest of the world is glued to the deadline President Trump set for Iran’s cooperation, there’s still no sign of a truce back home.

In one of the most disturbing subplots of the war, Democrats aren’t just undermining our troops, they’re rooting against them in a sick display of political opportunism.

That anti-Americanism took an especially nasty turn on Monday when a sitting U.S. senator, Connecticut’s Chris Murphy (D), celebrated our latest setback in the Strait of Hormuz. “Awesome,” he responded to a report that 26 of the regime’s ships had evaded the U.S. blockade.

Shock and outrage didn’t begin to describe people’s reactions. “It takes an insane level of Trump Derangement Syndrome to cheer for a terrorist regime that chants ‘Death to America,’” White House Spokesperson Olivia Wales shook her head. “Chris Murphy is an America-last, radical left lunatic who stands for illegal aliens and Iranian terrorists over the American people. The only thing ‘awesome’ will be when he is out of office,” shetoldFox.

“Was Sen. Murphy’s account hacked?” the Washington Examiner’s Byron Yorkwondered, trying to understand how even the president’s fiercest political rivals could justify such a disgusting comment. “I love when Iran wins, it’s awesome…’ – a UNITED STATES SENATOR ???????????!!!!!!!!!” Matt Van Swol, a former Department of Energy employee, responded.

Desperate to do damage control, Murphy’s office tried to shrug off the tweet as “sarcasm.” But the reality is much more sinister, Article III Project Founder Mike Davis insisted.

“This U.S. senator is publicly cheering for America’s enemy during war. The Senate should vote to censure him,” he argued. And not just because he’s a traitor, some would point out, but because what he’s siding with is a regime that’s spent the last 47 years massacring its own people (including tens of thousands this year) and countless U.S. soldiers.

Unfortunately, Murphy’s reckless messaging is part of a broader crisis in the Democratic Party, whose allegiance in these hyper-partisan times is no longer to America or our national interest but to winning at all costs. This war, regardless of whether the public would have chosen it or not, has already made the world a safer place.

“We’ve never taken on a country of 93 million people that had the most fearsome, terrible reputation of being dangerous and unpredictable, and running the Middle East with a ring of fire proxies in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon,” The Daily Signal’s Victor Davis Hansonemphasized. “They had terrified seven presidents. And yet in five weeks, we destroyed its ability to make war.” Including nuclear war.

Disarming a country bent on obliterating the West ought to be a cause that every sane American can rally around. And yet, Hanson points out, “From the Democrats’ grandees in the House and Senate,” he said, “to the liberal media, The New York Times, particularly The Washington Post, NPR, PBS, and network — even The Wall Street Journal’s news section. And then we have some people on the right who have also looked at the war and said it was lost, it went south, it was gonna [be] World War III, blah, blah, blah.”
