Murphy’s quick turnaround broke his previous record, when it took him only days to flip on the same issue after coming under attack from Alan Grayson.

“With a high-profile investigation under way, Patrick Murphy can’t quite figure out where he stands on his own record. Murphy has become a serial flip-flopper who will change positions the moment his record becomes inconvenient. Or he could just be disoriented from the constant battering he’s received from Alan Grayson.” – NRSC spokesman Greg Blair

In An Appearance Last Night On MSNBC, Murphy Stood By His Support For The Committee: MSNBC’s CHUCK TODD: “Do you want to take your vote back, or do you still stand by your vote?” REP. MURPHY: “No, I stand by it, because I think it’s more than proven that there is nothing to hide there.” (MSNBC’s “Meet The Press Daily," 10/21/15)

Then He Quickly Flipped To Attack…His Own Position. "Patrick Murphy, one of just seven House Democrats to vote for the Benghazi committee, said today that ‘it’s past time’ the panel be disbanded.” (Alex Leary, “Patrick Murphy Says It’s Time For Benghazi Committee To Come To End,” Tampa Bay Times, 10/21/15)

Murphy Has Been Under Fire From Grayson For Voting With Republicans To Establish The Committee: “Last month Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alan Grayson bashed his chief rival for the Democratic nomination for Senate, Patrick Murphy, for being one of just seven U.S. House Democrats who voted to create the Benghazi Select Committee.” (Mitch Perry, “Alan Grayson Again Blasts Patrick Murphy For Supporting Benghazi Investigation,” FloridaPolitics.com, 10/2/15)

Murphy Responded To Grayson By Calling For The Committee To Be Shut Down Immediately: “But in light of McCarthy’s remarks, Murphy campaign spokesman Joshua Karp said Murphy is urging House Republicans to ‘immediately shut down the committee.’” (Kristen M. Clark, “Florida’s U.S. Senate Race: Alan Grayson Blasts Patrick Murphy For Previously Supporting Benghazi Investigation,” The Miami Herald’s Naked Politics, 10/2/15)
