• Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy sent out an unfortunate tweet Friday ahead of Kate Middleton's cancer reveal
• Murphy confirmed to a journalist that his 2 p.m. CNN interview had been bumped 'by this much more important topic'
• The Rhode Island Democrat said he was to appear on the network to talk about Obamacare
• Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy stuck his foot in his mouth ahead of Kate Middleton's cancer reveal on Friday.
Murphy chimed in when journalist Yashar Ali reported that U.S. broadcast networks planned to air a special report on the Princess of Wales' health at 2 p.m.
Can confirm! I was supposed to be on @CNN at 2pm to talk about the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act and the millions of lives it has saved, but my interview has been bumped by this much more important topic,' Murphy posted to X.
What the networks aired was the future queen's announcement that cancer had been discovered after she had abdominal surgery in January.
Murphy has since deleted the tweet.
(Arrogant asshole democrat politician thinks he more important then the Princess)
