Alaska GOP censures, vows primary challenge to Murkowski
By Reid Wilson - 03/15/21 04:59 PM EDT

The Alaska Republican Party has vowed to recruit a primary challenger against Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R), a month after she voted to convict former President Trump of inciting an insurrection at the United States Capitol.

In a vote Saturday, the state Republican Party passed a resolution censuring Murkowski for her vote, and for several previous votes she had cast that angered state Republicans.

“There’s a number of issues that the party has had with Sen. Murkowski for the last several years which really culminated in the conviction vote of former President Trump,” said Kris Warren, the author of the resolution and head of a local Republican Party group in Anchorage.


Warren said he was upset with Murkowski over past votes to preserve the Affordable Care Act and against an amendment to the most recent coronavirus relief package that would have banned trans women from competing in sports. He took issue with her decision to vote present on the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and her support for Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), President Biden’s choice to lead the Interior Department.

But the resolution focused most on Murkowski’s relationship with the former president.

Good. Maybe Murkowski will switch to the demonrats where she belongs.

  It all depends on who the DEMS want seated.  The GOP's vowing to censure and challenge is coming way to late and unless  a true conservative is lined up to challenge her, this is nothing but another horse and pony show.

Remember the chicanery of 2010. She isn't scared. She will steal another election even if she's not on the ballot.

Murderturtle will deny GOP funding to anyone other than Murkowski, like he denied it to the gop voters’ choice in 2010. Beijing Mitch would rather a rat won the seat than an Republican outsider.

Many of us tried to explain the error of letting the democrats attack Sarah Palin with an army of lawyers and running her out of office.  As so often happens, lies and deceits coupled with denials won.
