Connecticut Senatorial Candidate Calls Opponent ‘Whore’ On Live TV
The battle over the Democratic nomination for Connecticut’s US Senate seat got ugly late Thursday when one candidate called another a “whore” during a heated debate on live television. Greenwich author Lee Whitnum ripped Congressman Chris Murphy over his pro-Israel stance.
“I’m dealing with a whore here who sells his soul to AIPAC [The American Israel Public Affairs Committee], who will say anything for the job,” Whitnum said. She also referred to state representative William Tong as “ignorant.”

“I’ve advocated for the candidates to be part of these debates,” Murphy hit back. “I might think twice about that with that kind of awful language being used on the airwaves.”
