Murphy claimed that trump&#8217;s policies-such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-pursues-decades-old-law-to-restore-gun-rights-to-some-criminals-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"DOJ pursues decades-old law to restore gun rights to some criminals - Washington Examiner\">restoring gun rights<\/a> to felons, cutting mental health and anti-gun violence funding-have deliberately made violence more likely. Concha criticized Murphy&#8217;s comments as inaccurate, noting Rhode Island, where Brown University is located, has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and that the campus itself is a gun-free zone.Concha emphasized that the shooter&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uber-driver-who-fled-iraq-dodges-bullets-on-dc-streets\/\" title=\"Iraqi Uber driver narrowly escapes gunfire in Washington, D.C.\">motives remain unknown<\/a> and condemned Murphy for prematurely blaming trump on national television. The FBI inquiry into the shooting continues after an initial suspect was released.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Joe Concha calls for censure of Chris Murphy for blaming Brown University shooting on Trump<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2445963\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner <\/em>senior writer <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-concha\/\">Joe Concha<\/a> suggested Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chris-murphy\/\">Chris Murphy<\/a> (D-CT) should be &ldquo;censured&rdquo; for implying that President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> is on a &ldquo;campaign to increase violence.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Murphy appeared on CNN&rsquo;s <em>State of the Union<\/em> on Sunday in the hours after a gunman opened fire on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/colleges-and-universities\/\">Brown University&rsquo;s<\/a> campus, killing two and injuring nine others.
