Chris Murphy spars with Fux Noise host over Florida "Don't say gay" law
Sen. Chris Murphy sparred with "Fox News Sunday" host Bret Baier over the broader implications of a recently enacted Florida law that has become a focal point of America's cultural battles.
Murphy (D-Conn.), addressing the current mindset of the Republican Party nationally, said he looked at the Florida law referred to in some quarters as the "Don't Say Gay" law as a sign the GOP has gone off the rails.
"I am very concerned about the sort of very quick, hateful, divisive turn that the Republican Party has taken," he said Sunday morning. "This effort in Florida to sort-of target gay kids in schools, I just think is mean-spirited and something that I had not seen from the Republican Party when I first started out in politics 20 years ago."
Baier interrupted Murphy to challenge him, saying the law — which has sparked a national battle over sex education and gender issues since being signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in March — was narrowly tailored to prevent classroom discussion of LGBTQ issues for the state's youngest students.
