Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) attacked a tweet from President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, after she alleged that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should be "arrested" for helping immigrants.
"If you support Border Czar Tom Homan arresting AOC for giving illegal aliens instructions on how to avoid deportation, post a [thumbs up] in the comments. Make your voice heard," Trump's "page" account wrote on Friday.
Murphy referenced the speech that Vice President J.D.

The fact that these two things were happening simultaneously was too much.

"It takes some f---ing gall to have Vance lecturing Europe on 'free speech' when at the exact same time the Trump regime is threatening Democrats back home with arrest if they even explain people’s rights to them," retorted Murphy.
