When asked how many of his bills and amendments have become law in a video posted yesterday, Privileged Patrick’s non-answer went from "Uh, I honestly don’t know" to more specifics, like, "you know, stuff."
REPORTER: "Congressman Grayson likes to talk about the number of bills that he’s sponsored, or amendments that have become law. How many bills and amendments that you have personally sponsored have become law?"
MURPHY: "Uh, I honestly don’t know how many have. The flood bill is the most recent one that I’ve spent most of my time on because, you know, that’s a bill that’s affecting tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Floridians and people all across the country. So this was a bipartisan bill. Again, passed unanimous in the Financial Services Committee that I sit. And in the full, you know, House. Because it’s common-sense, right? It helps create more competition. Some of the other bills that I’ve gone through, um, you know, kind of common-sense stuff. The intelligence, you know, stuff. So I’m going to continue doing everything I can to find these common-sense bills."

The only thing thinner than Privileged Patrick’s resume as a pretend CPA and small business owner is his list of accomplishments – or lack thereof, as a do-nothing congressman.
But don’t just take our word for it…take Democrat Alan Grayson’s:
Grayson, 8/12/15: "Some might assume that the Murphy [sic] has not gotten anything done because he is just not that interested in the hard work of being a legislator, but I’m also worried that he might not have a firm grasp on the legislative process."
Grayson, 5/15/16: "He’s a do-nothing congressman"
Grayson, 6/19/16: "He gets nothing done"
Grayson, 8/10/16: "An empty suit"
