RINO Congressman Greg Murphy sinking deeper into the DC Swamp | Eastern North Carolina Now

In his first Congressional primary, State Representaive Greg "Medicaid" Murphy (RINO-Pitt) claimed to be a budding Freedom Caucus type and convinced DC's Freedom Caucus leaders to run campaign ads for him and endorse him.  Once he got to DC, Murphy quickly abandoned the conservative Freedom Caucus and started buttering up the GOP establishment.

Now in a recent interview with WTIB's Henry Hinton, Murphy has gone full swamp RINO.  Murphy declared that he wanted to "find a way to vote YES on bills, not always be NO on everything."  That was a direct shot at the Freedom Caucus which is trying to stop the corrupt deal making on liberal legislation.  Murphy has already been a YES on too much bad liberal legislation like the cancel culture bill against the South that has resulted in Fort Bragg no longer being Fort Bragg, and the corrupt compromise that left Obama's army of new IRS agents to prey on the middle class in place.

Murphy's predecessor, Walter Jones was a hero to most Republicans precisely because he had the backbone to stand up and vote NO to big spending legislation, even when the swampy GOP leadership went along with it.  GOP activists also remember our conservative Senator Jesse Helms who was proud of the Democrats dubbing him "Senator NO".

Murphy also patted himself on the back for joining the Democrats in their unprecedented removal of George Santos before he even had the due process of his day in court on his charges.  Given the thin GOP House majority, this was an extremely stupid political move, particularly when Joe Biden has done most of the things Santos did and even worse.

Where can the 3rd District find another Walter Jones to replace Medicaid Murphy?
