There is probably no more annoying Democrat in the Senate than Chris Murphy from Connecticut and today we found out he’s headed to the Middle East with Mitt Romney:

Mitt Romney and Chris Murphy are traveling to the Middle East together this week. Is it too early to call them amigos? — Niels Lesniewski (@nielslesniewski) April 23, 2019

Road trip!

The U.S. faces complex challenges around the world, particularly in the Middle East. Over the next several days, Senator Murphy and I will be meeting with government officials in Israel and Jordan—working to maintain and strengthen our alliances with key partners in the region. pic.twitter.com/njus1vxVAn — Senator Mitt Romney (@SenatorRomney) April 23, 2019

First stop? Israel:

Wonderful introducing Baby Malka to Sen. Romney! Welcome to Israel, Senator. pic.twitter.com/NvJzUFImxS — Daniel Mael (@DanielMael) April 23, 2019

Reminder: Murphy was in the Senate bashing Mitt the last time he ran for president:

I love when Romney's "inside voice" ("don't care about poor people", "corps are people, my friend") escapes. — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) February 2, 2012

Although the two do share a love of mixing it up at the soda fountain, so maybe they’ll get along after all:

I do that too, Mitt! @PhilipRucker: At soda fountain, Mitt Romney mixes it up: "A little Diet Coke and a little bit of the real stuff." — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) January 28, 2015
