The Democrats are done with the “using” of Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Now, they are into the “abusing” phase of the relationship.
US Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona first-term Democrat, was brought in as the featured guest at a virtual “emergency town hall” hosted by the Alaska Democratic Party on Wednesday evening, giving him a platform to bash and trash Alaska’s congressional delegation.
Gallego used the platform to sharply criticize Alaska’s Republican Sens. Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, both of whom supported the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
The event, which included several Democratic state legislators from Alaska, centered on the sweeping legislative package championed by President Donald Trump and signed into law on July 4.
“Alaska’s senators sold out their constituents by backing billionaire tax cuts while slashing Medicaid and children’s health care,” Gallego said in a statement released alongside the event. “People will die because of these cuts, thousands will lose coverage, and families will face impossible choices.”
Alaska Democrats, who in 2022 effectively cleared the path for Murkowski’s reelection by fielding only token opposition, now appear to be turning against the longtime incumbent. A Democrat flyer circulating on social media reads: “COWARDS DON’T BELONG IN ALASKA — Get Murkowski out in 2028.”
The One Big Beautiful Bill marks one of the most significant legislative victories for Trump-aligned Republicans since he left office. It includes major investments in energy and defense, sweeping tax reforms, and cuts illegal immigration. Supporters say the law promotes economic growth and national strength.
Gallego, who defeated Republican Kari Lake in 2024 to succeed outgoing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, is seen as a rising Democratic voice despite his party losing Arizona in the last presidential election. His appearance at the Alaska town hall has intensified speculation that he may be considering a 2028 run for the White House.
The Alaska Democratic Party is mobilizing in advance of the 2026 election cycle, in which both Congressman Nick Begich and Sen. Dan Sullivan will be up for reelection. Murkowski’s current term ends after the 2028 election.
The Republican wing of the Uniparty simply upped the ante and paid Alaskas’ very own courtesan more than the Democrat wing.
The Uniparty created Ranked Choice Voting to insure Lisa remains. They are just venting a little on her, they will pay her well for whatever they need accomplished next for their special interest donor/masters.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer person.
Outlived her usefulness.
We had a frank talk with Lisa about this very thing. Lisa wants so badly to be loved by everyone. But clearly, the Democrats only had one thing on their mind, that is, to use Lisa then throw her away like used toilet paper. Poor daughter. Now she has no friends to turn to.
Lincoln’s famous quote about not being able to “Fool all the people all the time”. Is starting to Manifest. The Pedestal is crumbling. Jump Lisa, Jump. No one will catch you.
She had to vote for BBB despite her TDS. If the bill had failed, she would’ve been roasted relentlessly. BBB is too good for Alaska to say no despite her RINO status. Once good jobs reappear, and the apocalypse the left predicted doesn’t appear, she’ll campaign on the good work Trump did. I’m still stuck on that hag going along with Feinstein’s hoax to sink Kavanaugh’s confirmation. That was dirty, that was despicable. Her Democrat friends will forgive her.
How politically tone deaf do you have to be to have democrats and republicans hate you?
Big Time – murkowski fatigue….
Now, now……. Don’t forget how politically adept her and her allies are… Remember that AK’s RCV was all about her not having to face another Republican primary as she knows she couldn’t survive. I think the choice on the BBB is politically cunning on her part. Now that the left is coming after her (supposedly🤨)… That clears the path for her to become yet another “Independent” for her next run in 2028. And with her RCV scheme in place and with her name recognition, she’ll walk over the candidates from the right and the left. Never forget that she doesn’t make a move that’s not calculated…..
Brian, Understand your point on the “Princess and calculating”, however, son, are you in the belief she is the only one so calculating? I would submit that all 100 Senators are walking calculators related to re-election efforts.
The calculation begins immediately following the hand on the Bible “I Do”.
Every day I receive ‘Calculation’ pleas for funding because “Every Democrat Bogyman is working to throw me out, send $500-300-100- 1.00, NOW!!!”
Funny!!! …as if the death cult, gloom and doom democrats actually care about families, let alone people in general. Nothing but hysterical hyperbole from them as usual, right on cue… for the useful idiots…
Howdy Brian. 2028 could be very different. Maybe Nick Begich would rather be a Senator.
Gallego didn’t “defeat” Kari Lake. He’s the son of a mafia attorney and clearly Katie Hobbs needs to be investigated for collusion to interfere with a Senatorial election.
