Sen. Chris Murphy says he believes the White House is still committed to working on a comprehensive anti-gun violence proposal, despite Pres. Trump’s mixed signals on gun sale background checks.
Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy told reporters on Friday that, despite President Donald Trump’s recent mixed signals on gun sale background checks, he believes the White House is still committed to working on a comprehensive anti-gun violence proposal.
“The president told me that he knew that Republicans in the Senate wouldn't support it unless he supported a background checks measure and he was committed to finding a way forward,” Murphy said. But it’s unclear which measure the White House supports and if it would include implementing universal background checks or simply expanding on current background checks.
“I am skeptical that these efforts are going to bear fruit,” Murphy said Friday. “I think it’s very hard to negotiate with this White House when the president’s public positions seem to change by the day.” “If this, you know, all seems like a ruse, an attempt by the president to make it look like he's doing something without actually moving the ball down the field, I think we'll know that in fairly short order,” Murphy said.
