On the same day that Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she would not commit to voting to confirm any of President Donald Trump’s nominees for his cabinet because she was “learning,” she said she supports former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum for secretary of the Department of the Interior.
During an Energy and Natural Resources committee hearing to consider his nomination, Murkowski and Burgum discussed Alaska’s energy and mineral potential and the need for the Department to dramatically improve its approach in the state.
“I don’t want the Department of the Interior to be a landlord—I want them to be a partner,” Murkowski said. “Hearing the Governor say that he views Alaska as ‘one of the biggest assets this country has’ is a breath of fresh air after the last four years. I look forward to working with Governor Burgum to unleash the energy and resource opportunities that Alaska possesses.”
In December, Murkowski was effusive about Burgum and Energy Secretary nominee Chris Wright, but last week, when asked by a reporter, she said she was not committing to any nominee because it was too early in the process.
Lisa ma’am please come back to your oath duties of for & by we the people. Your on the wrong juice is all ma’am render to GOD what is GODS integrity to your oath means everything to all. Must read you flat out rock it.
“is a breath of fresh air after the last four years.”?
What was wrong with the last 4 years? What about the Biden policies that you 100% supported for the last 4 years do you now dislike?
Seems like all the libs/dems/progs are changing suits so they can better blend in to the current national frame of mind. It’s a ruse. They are still the same slugs they have always been.
Be still my beating heart…
Senator Murkowski has made a decision…
With Trump the President saying people should go to jail for abusing their power, maybe, Lefty Lisa doesn’t want to follow in Liz Cheney’s footsteps after all. Maybe Lisa will be walking around with a MAGA hat on her confused head.
If we all work together we can make sure she’ll be packing her bags the next time a new President announces his cabinet.
