Alaska delegation response to Biden State of the Union: Sullivan calls it divisive, Murkowski is disappointed, Peltola is a ‘no comment’

29

Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, speaking immediately after President Joe Biden’s fourth State of the Union address late Thursday night, called the speech partisan and divisive.

“It’s really hard to understand the president when he’s yelling, mumbling, and speaking real fast,” Sullivan said. Sullivan said it was a bad practice to yell at Congress if Biden wants a good relationship with the legislative branch. Watch Sullivan’s immediate reaction to the speech — completely unscripted — here:

Before the State of the Union, Sullivan sent a video message: “56: That is the number of times this administration has chosen to side with Lower 48 extremists over Alaskans. Tonight, I hope President Biden announces a cease fire in his war against Alaskan working families. Unfortunately, that appears unlikely.”

Sullivan was right. Instead, Biden repeated his goal of cutting the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, heralding is as the “most significant action on climate ever in the history of the world.” It appears unlikely he can achieve that in six years.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski made brief official comments on the speech, calling it the most partisan political speech she had heard in years.

“He had lots of energy going on and I know that was part of the show, but I kind of felt it was a set up to be a campaign rally and I guess I’m enough of a traditionalist to not want to hear that level of politics injected into the State of the Union speech, so I was disappointed,” she told reporters.

Rep. Mary Peltola had no comment on the speech. Peltola, who wore a white kuspuk in solidarity with the Democrat women lawmakers in the House chambers who were dressed in their pro-abortion theme, pivoted from the spectacle of the incoherent president whom she endorses for reelection. On Friday morning she posted on X/Twitter a picture celebrating National Women’s Day through the lens of Native women.

Murkowski posted a selfie with Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Lindsey Graham.

    • Masked, the majority of your fellow Alaskans are not “disappointed in” her. Rather, they are obviously pleased enough to re-elect her numerous times. In fact, one of those re-elections was an unprecedented write-in campaign. Granted, there was surely plenty of cheating and graft with the ballots but that does not belie the obvious strong support. We need to speak frankly to our fellow Alaskans.

      • “In fact, one of those re-elections was an unprecedented write-in campaign.”…

        “Lisa-The-Baby-Killer” promised to exit the Alaska U.S. Senate Race if she lost the Primary Race to Joe Miller. True to her lack of morals, values, scruples, and ethics – SHE LIED and secured a HUGE campaign contribution used to influence the Alaska Bush voter (e.g.: abortion access). Where did the roughly $150 million come from to finance that run of hers? It was narrowly reported shortly after the election, that a Congressional Budget funded a similar amount of money to Sealaska Corp., for ambiguous purpose. Follow the money.

  1. I’m surprised that Sullivan would be the least bit critical of the President’s address, after all Biden’s opening salvo was about continuing the gravy train to Ukraine. Sullivan his bad self has on many occasions expressed his enduring support of the Kleptocracy of Ukraine and the need to continue this Obama , Vickie Nuland and CIA contrived shindig.

  2. The angry, yelling, agitated style of Biden’s delivery at last night’s SOTU is very typical of a person with dementia. He was obviously “juiced up” on some sort of chemical to keep him amped. The speech was divisive, nasty and designed by his handlers to further pound on the wedge that democrats are using to divide our country.

  3. From my view the country is about to blow up in a civil war and this group of out of touch politicians either don’t see what’s happening or are hoping it will happen. I don’t think it’s if I think it’s when. Our country is in the worst condition it’s ever been in my 58 years. We have had it to easy for 2 long. Our population is lazy and ungrateful. Most certainly Biden will go down as the worst president in us history. He is an absolute disgrace.

    • I’m older than you, and I’ve seen some ugly times you don’t remember.

      Keep your power dry. We’re not there yet.

      • You got that right. Talking to my mom, who remembers every president since FDR, remembers some BS. But, we are well on our way. Yes, keep your pronouns straight and your powder dry.

    • I totally agree with you Doug . It’s embarrassing to know a puppet is ruining our great country!

    • I agree Doug. Everyone needs to keep their heads on a swivel and be conscious of their surroundings. A lot of foreign military-aged men being placed all around the nation – are they the NATO army that is going to go up against the People of America? Sullivan is a disgrace. Murkowski is a disgrace. Peltola is a disgrace. That old man that was screaming, hollering, putting down the real Commander and Chief and putting down real Americans during the SOTU speech is a total disgrace and he definitely will be on trial – whether by We The People or by God Almighty. God Almighty please bless the People who have faith and believe in you and give all of us the strength to fight your good fight for humanity!

  4. Sen. Dan endorsed Lisa-the-baby-killer over Kelly Tshibaka. She has been his “touchstone” for many years voting with the Marxist agenda supporters (pic of the “Three Stooges” above). Willard (the rat) Romney, also authorized countless trillions of bucks to ruin our dollar and economy (Inflation Reduction Act, Infrastructure, etc.) BOTTOM LINE, this Illegitimate Regime (Obama/Biden/Global Elites) wants a civil war to implement Martial Law with the U.N. and other foreign actors…they will not be stopped. The Magic Trick in use by this Illegitimate Regime, shows us a civil war momentum to distract us, trying to hide the impending military forces to be used on U.S. Citizens! (bus and plane loads, of military-age men, CCP operators, terrorists, and criminals)

    • …kane, like so many, you describe Biden as the problem. The true problem is your neighbor across the street who voted Biden in. We are surrounded by more than 50% of our fellow Americans who are essentially communists at heart. They seek thrive off the fruits of your labor by utilizing government tyranny to appropriate it from you.

      • “The true problem is your neighbor across the street who voted Biden in.”…
        And now THE INVADERS who will vote for anything they can get, along with the Bolshevist format from the 50% you described. Please consider the following as causation also:

        It’s been acknowledged that President Trump won 74 million votes. No one is accusing him of any voter fraud, in fact, Democrats are saying that there was no fraud, right?
        There were roughly 236 Million ELIGABLE VOTERS at the time of the 2020 Presidential Election. It was reported there were 213.8 million REGISTERED VOTERS in the United Statesat that time; the VOTER TURNOUT across the country was about 66.2%. This equals 141.5 million VOTERS CAST A BALLOT IN 2020.
        What’s 141.5M – 74M =? The answer is 67.5M. That’s how many possible votes remained. So how on earth does Joe Biden have another 13 million votes on top of that number to equal 81 million votes? – It didn’t happen!….Never forget this.

  5. A representative in office doesn’t qualify for a “no comment “ on such an important issue. Her constituents deserve a statement.

  6. Go watch the ADL conference I dare you. Merrek Garland and the whole crew was there.. the comedy bit is super cringy..wtf is wrong with these people?

  7. Sen. Sullivan was mad because President Biden made it perfectly clear what the current GOP stands for. It’s only divisive as they want to hide what they stand for. Taking rights away from women, parents, and the middle class of the USA all for the profit of the wealthy political donors to the GOP.

  8. Biden also said 666; 6 three times
    They believe they can make things happen but just saying it; then it comes true. Their woke religion! The Biden clan! (Want to be gods)

  9. She doesn’t look so “pi**ed-off” there with Graham and Snow.
    She must’ve got a nice fat pay-off from a generous lobbyist.
    It seems odd that she feels obligated to Ukraine and not America.
    I wonder how much America will invest in that Ukraine war?
    I wonder if we’ll eventually send Troops, establishing Bases there?
    I wonder if Joe & Kami will just pull-out, like they did in Kandahar?
    AND(!), I wonder what the game plan is to a winning strategy?

    The SOTU was a pathetic performance, full of lies and deceit.

    These political types seem to be lining their own pockets, cutting sweet-heart deals with lobbyists and the war machine industry, feeding the incessant // narcissistic appetite for power – prestige – prominence, and ultimately saddling taxpayers with the costs – debt.

  10. Sounds like it was a depressing discouraging night for the Senators and Representatives.
    There has to be coming a time when there be some serious restructuring of the States. I doubting USA can continue being this divided. States who have the most government dependents would struggle harder without the Federal system

  11. Alaska state leadership if they really had a good heart, then this years budget would be cut down to the right size and serious internal government restructuring will be started this year even while government and union constituents be crying just to decrease Alaskans federal government dependency.

  12. What do you think is about to occur–a “Toastmasters-style” presidential race? Hell, we’re headed for the hottest election in history. Toughen up–you ain’t heard sweet nothings yet! When the election is won or lost, we’ll finally see what fine folk we are! In anticipation of that coming revelation, I’ll be brushing up on my cursing and manly ugliness!

  13. Murkowski said she thought it was kind of ginning up as a campaign rally. Really, where did she get her first clue? Was it the “Four more years” chanting by the leftists in the front of the chamber that swayed her in that direction? I have never seen or heard such overt campaigning from the floor of any chamber in congress, most especially at the SOTU, which is a misnomer. This was a testament to our State of Dis-Union if there ever was one.

    • Mr. Independence, toughen up! All the good stuff is behind us; you can tell your kids and grandkids about the good old days! It’s going to be a knock-down-drag-out brawl every four years, so don’t start whimpering and whining here: save all that crap for your fellow Toastmasters! Who knows where this is all heading, but it isn’t going to get better than this!
