More blowback: Second Alaska Republican committee votes to censure Sen. Mitch McConnell for attacking Alaska GOP Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka
Suzanne Downing | October 14, 2022A Republican district committee in Alaska has asked the Republican Party of Kentucky to take action against Sen. Mitch McConnell for breaking party rules and spending millions of dollars to maliciously attack the Alaska Republican Party’s endorsed Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka.
District 9 Republicans met Thursday and voted for the resolution, which says that McConnell’s “indecorous endorsement of censured Senator Murkowski, who does not support the Republican platform,” is a violation of the Kentucky GOP’s own “Republican Integrity” rules (section 12.05).
This is the second Republican committee in Alaska to condemn McConnell’s attacks on the candidate that is endorsed by the Alaska Republican Party. The first was District 6, a Homer-area subdivision of the Alaska GOP.
The District 9 Alaskans condemned the “egregious, misleading, and divisive behavior of Senator Mitch McConnell and the Senate Leadership Fund,” and said, “We steadfastly support our very own District 9 resident and Senate-candidate Kelly Tshibaka.”
The group, based in Anchorage, has asked that the Senate Leadership Fund immediately stop the attack ads against Tshibaka and discontinue support for Murkowski. . .

Mitch's actions will end up benefitting Tshibaka. Does anyone believe that Alaskans will be persuaded to vote for a particular candidate because Mitch McConnell tells them to?
