Democrats’ palace coup: Reactions from Alaska political leaders on Biden being bumped

37

Democrats staged their palace coup this weekend, forcing President Biden to sign a letter saying he will not accept the nomination of the Democrats, and that he endorses Vice President Kamala Harris. This, just three and a half years after Biden won more votes than any president in American history, making him arguably the most popular president in history, if the 2020 election was accurate.

Alaska U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan said that Democrats in general have such bad policies that it doesn’t matter who heads the presidential ticket for them — Alaska would lose if Joe Biden, Kamala Harris — or any Democrat — became president in November.

“Regardless of who is on the top of the ticket, the National Democrats and the failed Biden-Harris agenda will still be on the ballot this November,” Sullivan said. “If they win, Alaskans and the rest of America will continue to suffer from their far-left policies that caused crushing inflation, high energy prices, weak national security, open borders with fentanyl flooding into Alaska, and Biden’s unprecedented war on Alaska—with 68 executive orders and actions specifically targeting our state and our working families.”

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has had a close personal friendship with Biden over decades, was more terse: “I respect President Biden’s decision to act in the best interest of the country by stepping aside in the 2024 presidential election,” was her complete statement.

Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat who has tied her apron strings to Biden with glowing endorsements and past testimonials about his “sharpest” mental acuity, offered no statement about Biden dropping or Kamala Harris getting Biden’s endorsement. Peltola will be one of the Alaska delegates to vote during the Democratic National Convention that begins in Chicago on Aug. 19, and she will have to vote as the party tells her.

Kelly Tshibaka, chair of the Trump campaign in Alaska, offered this: “Democrats eliminated Biden not to try and win the Presidential race but to redirect all their donors and campaign efforts to Senate and House races. Biden would have surely cost the Democrats both majorities. Now they have a fighting chance.”

Sen. Mike Lee of Utah noted that Vice President Harris “didn’t accomplish this alone, by any means. She had help from the mainstream news media. She had help from people close to President Biden, including the White House staff.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said, “Finally, Joe Biden has realized what the rest of the American people and even his own party already knew—he is not only the wrong leader for America, but is wholly incapable of doing the job of President of the United States. But he didn’t go far enough. If Joe Biden is too weak to stay in the race for the presidency, he should RESIGN as our Commander-in-Chief immediately.”

Former Hawaii Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said, “Biden’s out, Kamala is in. Don’t be fooled: policies won’t change. Just like Biden wasn’t the one calling the shots, Kamala Harris won’t be either. She is the new figurehead for the deep state and the maidservant of Hillary Clinton, queen of the cabal of warmongers. They will continue their efforts to engulf the world in war and taking away our liberty.”

Alaska Democrats simply posted Biden’s letter declaring he is not going to be able to accept the party’s nomination on the party’s social media account, without comment. Two days earlier, the party had said it is backing Biden. The bumping of Biden will send delegates to the national convention scrambling, if other candidates jump in. Alaska Democratic Party is operated by the more Bernie Sanders end of the political scale.

  1. Lisa respects Joe Biden. No wonder Republicans and most Alaskans don’t respect Lisa Murkowski.

  2. Small-dollar donors raise over $27.5 million on ActBlue in the first 5 hours of Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. From the posts on Truth Social it seems Trump is terrified of upcoming matchups. Thank God the Dem’s have such a deep bench. At least 10 of them would make great opponents against the old man.

      • Boomer, do you need your diaper changed ?

        …..”Before I was elected as vice president, before I was elected a United States senator, I was the elected attorney general of California. And before that I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say: I know Donald Trump’s type….”

        I can’t wait until their first debate, the prosecutor and the felon.

        Sleep on Kamala at your own peril

    • Yeah not so fast here, Sebastian. Act Blue has been under FEC investigation for shady practices, including laundering donations by using pensioners names to make donation in the thousands, when said pensioner only really made one donation. Clearly an effort to disguise the source of all this money. (Money Mules, MRAK 3/31/23).

      You know not a week ago Kamala claimed Biden is so sharp, she could hardly keep up. Having seen some more of the video clips and speeches, I think sadly she is telling the truth….

    • Deep bench? 🤣, Come on Man, if the Democrats had a deep bench we wouldn’t have Traitor Joe as President.
      The Democrats today are intellectually and morally bankrupt, political power is all their interested in.
      I miss the old school Democrats.

  3. Most votes ever, what a batch of horse crap, the 2020 was a fraud, theft out and out,I will never be convinced otherwise. As for my contempt for Fat Franks brat their is not enough room in this forum.

  4. Is Biden even aware of today’s written statement?
    Did he write that statement or, the “Deep State?”
    Is Biden even alive, has anyone seen him post statement?

    I believe the Dems have ‘known’ they have had a really big problem for a long while with the integrity – durability – functionality – competency with Joe, and no longer keep it secret from the US Citizens. Given the surge in Patriotism, gravitating ‘bigly’ to Team Trump-Vance, the Dems acted on the opportunity, forging today’s written statement, offering Joe-Jill-Hunter and the rest of Crime Family absolution. Remember, the Elites have mounds of circumstantial evidence that would completely bury the Biden’s.

    As for AK907 “Team Traitors” … both Mary and Lisa need to go away before some creative individual can create and supplant circumstantial evidence that could potentially bury either of them. Surely, there some dirt somewhere that can be leveraged?

    • Rob B.: “Create and supplant circumstantial evidence”?

      Really? Are you proposing a criminal scheme to commit defamation?

      Do you want to go to prison?

    • No. The statement came out while he was getting a new diaper. Then it was a double scoop of butter brickle and beddie time. Old Joe may hear about it next week, though.

  5. Damn, that was a small fortune I spent on those “Lets Go Brandon” flags. I thought it was such a power move.

  6. So now Princess crawls out from under her rock.

    To comment on a corrupt, senile democrat.

  7. Senator Sullivan has it right. It doesn’t matter who heads the DEI influenced democrat ticket, it’s the abysmally failed democrat polices that are so destructive for Americans that is the problem. Senator Murkowski’s very conciliatory reaction toward Biden’s announcement confirms her continuous hypocrisy as to why she doesn’t change her party affiliation to democrat. And ‘all things democrat’ Mary Peltola, who is ‘all in’ for whatever the democrat party requires, says nothing. A bold woman of action for sure. Bottom line: all three of Alaska’s congressional delegation should be demanding to know how a Joe Biden who is too brain addled to be on the democrat ticket, can remain being the commander in chief for six more months? It is a dangerous world. America deserves better!

  8. Why Biden in the first place? They didn’t want Bernie because he is anti-establishment. There were plenty of pro-establishment candidates in the 2020 democrat primary who would have been just as controllable and likely to maintain coherence. They had to know that this was a strong possibility. They just stood his corpse up there anyway. Bizzarro.

  9. The world makes a lot more sense when you realize everything getting talked about is gay and retarded and the people making the news are more gay and retarded.
    If it seems off, ask yourself: “is someone gay and retarded trying to tell me something gay and retarded”
    This was not directed at Suzanne, who sometimes reposts news from gay and retarded people

  10. This is not over. Obama and several important democrats have not endorsed Harris. If she doesn’t perform well, she will be replaced. I still say it will be Nancy’s Nephew, Gavin.

  11. Did Biden really break up with the country via text? Seriously, does anyone question how strange this is? No face to face communication? How do we know he even signed this himself? How do we know he is even still alive? This country is so screwed. Nothing but a clown show. The lights will go out on election day, allowing another steal and then blamed on Iran, China and Russia, thrusting us right into hot end of WWIII. (which technically started in 2020 with a release of a bio weapon). Last week’s “cyber outage” was only a beta test. I hope you are ready America because the good times are officially over.

  12. Trump is a fool for saying the economy is in shambles under Bien. After taking out all of my living costs and taxes over the last 3.5 years my bank and stock portfolio is up 22%. I can live with this administration for another 4 years with returns like that

    • It’s funny that the Weekend at Bernies crowd is still standing behind the Demo puppet , still believing Biden is the best candidate for the job.

      Wake up leftists, you have been duped and the painful realization will knock the wind out of you if you keep feeding your delusions.

      Just do us all a favor and vote Maga and help make America the great country we all know it can be.

    • You must be retired government. Almost everything in my world has doubled and tripled in cost in 3 years. Your supposed 22% gains won’t buy you a spare tire.

  13. Frank, frank, its up numerically, but not in purchasing power. Those”dollars” on your statements are not equal in what they get for you to the ones you had under the Trump administration. How many more of them do you have to turn over to buy the things youuse?. Examine your premises before spouting off!!

  14. You know if I were a Biden pledged delegate, I would not accept this letter. I would want him to come out and actually say it out loud to the nation. Set up a camera in his house and LIVE stream it.
    Not for one moment do I believe that Joe Biden is going quietly into that good night!

  15. So what is the market for a half dozen Let’s Go Brandon flags and FJB bumper stickers? Also one pair of those gold plated Trump sneakers. Asking for a friend who is paying 24.99% interest on these purchases.

  16. Some rumors flying around that Biden is in hospice care. Probably just that, rumors. Wonder if the Clintons got to him.
