I can\u2019t afford to have the millions of dollars of ads that I\u2019m watching run in your district run against me,\u2019\u201d Murphy explained. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that that\u2019s where we have gotten.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Murphy slammed Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), the DCCC\u2019s chief, as having a self-interest in pushing members to vote for radical policies if it means a promotion for himself from party leaders in the future:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cI believe that the DCCC exists for one reason and one reason alone, and that is incumbent protection and expanding the majority,\u201d Murphy said. \u201c<b>I don\u2019t believe that the person who runs the DCCC should be a member who\u2019s elected,<\/b>\u00a0because inevitably that member \u2026 has further aspirations in the Democratic leadership. And in order to ascend in Democratic leadership, you have to secure the progressive vote. And securing the progressive vote makes it difficult for you to also then protect moderates and create space for them to do what they need to do to win and hold seats. \u2026 I think that\u2019s just \u2026 a structure that is misaligned to what should be the sole purpose of the DCCC, incumbent retention and expanding the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Not everyone agrees with Murphy. Congressional candidate and state representative Anthony Sabatini (R-FL), who is running\u00a0in\u00a0the district from which Murphy is retiring, told Breitbart News that Murphy is just whining about party politics because the Democrat Party lost control of Florida. In recent months, voter registration has tipped Republican for the first time in history.<\/p>\n<p>Noting Murphy voted with Pelosi the vast majority of the time, Sabatini suggested she has no right to complain about the radical Democrat Party.\u00a0\u201cDespite her rhetoric, Stephanie Murphy was very left-wing and voted with Nancy Pelosi 98% of the time\u2014and voted against the entire MAGA agenda,\u201d Sabatini said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is, the radical communist Democrat party has gone so far left that even hardened liberals like Murphy aren\u2019t extreme enough to gain leadership positions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden is officially the Worst President in American history<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
