Lisa Murkowsi Adopts Liz Cheney’s January 6 ‘Insurrection’ Narrative Before Midterm Election

Wendell Husebø 17 Sep 2022

Pro-impeachment and 21-year incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has adopted departing Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) January 6 insurrection narrative heading into the November midterm election.

“That was insurrection,” Murkowski claimed on the With All Due Respect podcast with Andrew Halcro, referring to the riot. “Criminals who come in, who raided the capital on January 6, need to be tried under the due process of the law. … We need to make sure we’ve got a process that is truly fair under our Constitution, and that is what we are seeing going forward.”

“I’ve got faith in our judicial process,” she asserted.

Murkowski, tied in the polls with Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka, did not mention that many January 6 rioters have been held in 23-hour-a-day isolation before their trials begin. One January 6 defendant called the maximum-security conditions “mental torture,” a condition that starkly contrasts Democrat policies of expelling criminals, including child rapists, from prison on parole.

“It’s important that on the political side, we not just move beyond this and say, you know, ‘That was just politics in Washington,'” Murkowski lectured about January 6, sounding eerily familiar to Cheney’s rhetoric.

“I’m on the Senate floor with [people] who are choosing to view what we went through as just kind of an unfortunate day that has led to some unfortunate circumstances,” Murkowski continued. “It belies the truth that we went through, that there was an intentional act of violence. … I don’t think they [Republicans] want to know the truth.”

Murkowski’s use of the “insurrection” narrative from outgoing Cheney highlights their shared uniparty, establishment dogma. Both voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. Both voted with Democrats in the last two years on key votes to help President Joe Biden’s political success. “I’m working with them to advance things,” Murkowski said on the show, vowing to assist the Biden administration if reelected:

Any GOP voters in AK realize yet that she's a RINO or no different than a DEM?  She's offering to assist the Biden administration.

Again, another instance where voting for someone because they have an 'R' next to their name, or because they feel that they are the lesser of two evils or voting against the opponent isn't working.
