Just another GOP clown show: Greg Murphy (net worth $20.7 million) tells his constituents to STFU and take their medicine

 
Headline:  AlterNet, 7/15/2025

Ailia Zehra reports:
Speaking on NewsNation Tuesday, the North Carolina Republican [net worth citation] likened the economic pain to “tough love,” insisting such measures are essential for long-term gains in trade and national resilience. 
He admitted that tariffs are hurting small businesses in his district, but said, "This is parenting in a way," adding, "We have to take some really tough medicine."  
In February, Small Business Majority’s research found that 53% of small business owners feared tariffs would harm their own operations, while 77% worried they would have a negative impact on the U.S. economy overall.
