Summary
MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski rebuked Sen. Chris Murphy on Monday for sidestepping questions about New York Democratic nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier, saying his claim of not being "super familiar" with the race was "gaslighting."
Murphy had told NBC's "Meet the Press" that candidates on both sides now carry old social-media baggage and suggested voters must decide what crosses the line, rather than directly condemning Avila Chevalier's posts.
Joe Scarborough amplified the criticism on X, urging Democrats to "call out crazy even when it's on your side," as scrutiny grew around the candidate's deleted posts from 2018 to 2022.
Avila Chevalier, 32, previously reposted calls to abolish borders, prisons and police, said "all deportation is wrong," and in other posts attacked the United States, private property and former President Joe Biden.
