Sen. Chris Murphy said he "should give up on sarcasm" after a one-word post about an Iran blockade drew White House backlash. He posted the single-word message earlier this week on social media, prompting swift criticism from the White House and other officials. Murphy acknowledged the reaction and wrote that he "should give up on sarcasm" after critics said the timing and tone undermined sensitive diplomacy.
