Article snippet: Sen. MORE (D-Conn.) blasted President Trump’s speech to a crowd of Boy Scouts as “icky” on Monday night. “As a Scout leader, my stomach is in knots about what Trump did today. If you haven't watched it yet, don't. It's downright icky,” Murphy tweeted.     Murphy has been a frequent critic of Trump, calling him the “sole executioner” of ObamaCare if the bill is repealed and demanding Trump testify under oath before Congress about his firing of former FBI Director James Comey. The crowd also booed former President MORE when Trump, who was not a Boy Scout, asked if he had ever spoken to the group. Obama, who was part of an organization similar to the Boy Scouts in Indonesia, sent a video addressing the group in 2010. “The answer is no, but we’ll be back,” Trump said. Trump also joked he would fire Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price if the GOP failed to pass an ObamaCare repeal bill Tuesday.
