Does anyone know where Cap’n Patrick Murphy is today? It looks like this weekend Cap’n Patrick was back on the bridge of daddy’s mega-yacht Miss Cocktails for a swanky Newport, R.I. fundraiser.
According to Cap’n Patrick’s spokesperson, he is going to be in Florida all week as opposed to the DNC in Philadelphia.
Murphy’s campaign cited the congressman’s end-of-August primary when saying that he wouldn’t make it to the DNC.
“Patrick has been proud to support Hillary Clinton since Day One, and is excited to see her make history next Thursday night,” spokeswoman Galia Slayen said. “But with the [primary] election less than 40 days away, it’s also important to be here in Florida, hearing from voters and talking about his plan to grow the economy and protect Social Security.”
But, as with everything involving this floundering campaign, this is probably a lie. According to Political Party Time, Cap’n Patrick will be in Philadelphia to attend a fundraiser tonight. Check out the details here.
So what gives? Is Cap’n Patrick lying about not being at the DNC in Philly? If so, why is he trying to cover up his presence there?
“Patrick Murphy’s latest adventure on the high seas is yet another example of how this spoiled, unqualified candidate has all the self-awareness of a Pet Rock. Murphy needs to stop hanging out on daddy’s yacht, stop lying about who he is and where he is, and start admitting to himself that he may have to rewrite his bogus résumé come November.” – Senate Leadership Fund Spokesman Ian Prior
