Lisa Murkowski denounces Trump's J6 pardons

'I think it was a bad idea.'
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska denounced President Donald Trump's sweeping pardon of 1,500 defendants convicted of offenses related to the January 6 protest at the Capitol.

On his first day in office, Trump pardoned the 1,500 defendants and commuted the sentences of 14 others, fulfilling one of his key campaign promises.

'The Capitol Police officers are the backbone of Congress — every day they protect and serve the halls of democracy.'

"This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation," the pardon reads.

While Trump and his allies maintained great support for pardoning the J6 "hostages," including Blaze News investigative reporter Steve Baker, Murkowski expressed great disapproval.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Lisa, you ignorant congressional gutter slut.  Be gone.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Anyone willing to risk life, health, and family to protect those 535 ass-clowns in the Capitol Building is stupid.

Congress is not deserving of the sacrifices of every day Americans.

She has been a defector from day one. Just kick her @$$ out of the Party, already.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

GOP tried that.

That didn't stop her from being re-elected as a write-in independent.

And silent on the Biden pardons, where action bribery and treason occurred.

Mitch and Mitt define a RINO as those who treat their own party members worse than the opposition.
