Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) was roasted for his attendance at anti-President Trump protests in California, a move that occurred nearly 2,500 miles from his home state. The senator posted a photo of himself with Jimmy Kimmel at an anti-Trump rally and also discussed a discussion with Californians advocating for increased taxes on billionaires. The California Billionaire Tax Act, a proposed ballot initiative, has been opposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who proposes a one-time 5% wealth tax on Californians with net worths over $1.1 billion. Murphy has been trying to promote his progressive record during President Trump's second term, having split with Democratic leadership in the Senate for a deal to avert a government shutdown in 2025.
