Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) quickly deleted a tweet complaining about the announcement after it aired, but X users still took aim at the lawmaker.
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) expressed some ill-timed frustration on Friday, after his segment got bumped in favor of covering Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis.
Sen. Murphy reshared a post from journalist Yashar Ali announcing the royal reveal, adding his own complaint-laden verification to the freshly breaking story.
“Can confirm! I was supposed to be on @CNN at 2pm to talk about the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act and the millions of lives it has saved, but my interview has been bumped by this much more important topic,” he wrote.
Murphy deleted the tweet shortly after, but X users still took aim at the lawmaker.
“Imagine learning a woman has cancer and thinking this is such an inconvenience because my talking points got bumped,” one X user called “Sunny” wrote. “Anyway, you can tell @ChrisMurphyCT definitely cares about people’s health care because he admits his cable news spots are more important than cancer diagnosis announcements,” they added in another post.
