Lisa Murkowski Focuses on Donald Trump in Tied Alaska Senate Race

Wendell Husebø 26 Sep 2022

Pro-impeachment and 21-year incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) embraced another Democrat talking point over the weekend intended to divide the Republican Party from former President Donald Trump.

“I just want to make sure that our party doesn’t become a party of an individual,” she told the Wall Street Journal in an article titled “Lisa Murkowski Bets on Infrastructure to Keep Alaska Senate Seat, Deny Trump Revenge.”

Murkowski’s careful line of attack resembles the establishment media’s public relations campaign to frame Trump as a cult leader. Such claims, amplified by congressional Democrats, are unfounded. But that has not prevented the Republican senator from echoing her Democrat colleagues in Washington, DC.

Murkowski, who voted to impeach Trump in 2021, has remained on the war path against Trump during her reelection campaign against Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka. Polling shows Murkowski and Tshibaka are on equal footing about 50 days from the general election.

“I want him to resign. I want him out,” she stated about Trump in 2021. “He has caused enough damage.”

Similar rhetoric was deployed by Murkowski in September when she claimed January 6 was an “insurrection.” Speaking about how the January 6 protesters should receive just consequences, Murkowski failed to raise concerns that rioters have been held in 23-hour-a-day isolation before their trials begin.

[LMAO]

She doesn't like Trump...fine.

But she has sided quite a bit with the Democrats over the years and, as a lifelong politician, she is part of the problem

Is she aware of who currently occupies the White House?

She does not want the Party to become the Party of an individual...

Like...Lincoln? whose election so polarized the country, well, look at the map...



But instead, what we see here, is that she wants it to become the party of not that 'one guy'.

We're even more polarized (only two likely outcomes, not four) than we were then, and it's heavily city vs rural in bias.
