Sen. Lisa Murkowski took to X/Twitter to let the public know she had a favorable discussion with Interior secretary nominee Doug Burgum and Energy secretary nominee Chris Wright.
She said she has “Great conversations” with the two “about the future of energy, resource development, and innovation in Alaska and around the country. Both have spent considerable time in Alaska and will be great partners who recognize energy as a good thing and a national asset.”
But for the second day, she made no comment about her Tuesday meeting with Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, who visited her to earn her support when his confirmation vote comes before the Senate. Murkowski has a pattern of believing unfounded accusations against men, as she did when she refused to vote for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. She and Sen Susan Collins of Maine are Trump opponents and may be the key votes to sink Hegseth’s nomination.
Although she briefly told reporters she had a good exchange with Hegseth, Murkowski didn’t put anything down in writing about it, and refused to answer their questions about whether she will vote for him to lead the Defense Department.
Well, it’s basically and simply a package deal … you support ‘all’ of the nominees and reap the rewards. If not, then you run the risk of less rewards. It’s time for Lisa to compartmentalize her emotions and start acting in the best interest of Alaska and Alaskans!!!
False narrative.
No, Rob. I trained Lisa to put the Murkowski legacy first. The interests of Alaska and Alaskans comes secondary or tertiary. Our family makes history. Period.
That’s right, Frankie. We are trying to figure out how one of our grandsons can get appointed before Lisa falls over. Vern’s noodles have little protein.
Duram wheat is loaded with protein.
Exactly what I use, Mr. Forkner. But it still doesn’t dress out Lisa with the look you and I both love.
Nope. She is rail thin.
Lisa needs to depart from Alaska. She is not a Republican at heart and she does not have the Best interest for Alaskans. She wants power in the Senate and to take Mc Connell’s place. She is all in on the Military Industrial Complex $$$ Don’t bother coming back to Alaska…
If Frankie’s grand kids don’t want the US Senate eat, then please consider Lisa’s siblings. Anyone with blood credibility that can keep the Murkowski name as an Alaska legacy into the 22nd Century
I’m more qualified than Brian. My last name even rhymes with Murkowski.
Whatever her opinion is, she will do as she is told.
What a Feckless Representative we have here….totally negates anything that Sullivan will go for.
This is Lisa’s political head-fake to make everyone think she’s being reasonable. She’s not. There’s zero chance that she will approve Hegseth. Too Trumpian. And once the lies about sexual impropriety and truth about (scandal!) a tattoo came to light, it was all over for Lisa. Question comes down to how many (D)ems voted against any of Biden’s cabinet picks? Zero. Lisa will vote against Hegseth. I’ve been listening to her establishment buddies bitch, moan and white about Hegseth within 5 minutes of the announcement. Lisa has become the Liz Cheney from Alaska. She needs to be Liz Cheneyed…
Hard to get past an alleged rapist and adultery. I know, the president elect did it so it’s ok now, right? For some, it will never be alright
I don’t think the adultery is alleged. And adultery doesn’t mean anything to MAGA Christians anymore, evidently. I’m not sure what moral compass MAGA uses, but it is completely divorced of any belief system I have ever seen.
Yep. Trump is even pro choice these days
Perhaps you missed the conversation. Bill Clinton defined that fact that adultery was meaningless in 1996. And all you lefties were good with it because he was on your team. Please try to keep up with the conversation. Cheers –
Those 2 useless clowns will do anything to distract from the actual conversation. What can you say? Deranged individuals in every group. Those 2 believe in the kangaroo courts trump was dragged threw and guaranteed they are both double vaxed even to get boosted after the 500 page senate report said the American people and the world got had.. by crooked control freak politicians. Yep that’s Greg and bill.
Nice rooe-a-dope. He’s still guilty of fraud.
“Hard to get past an alleged rapist “- ya, think Duke la cross.
I see you still have a case of Trump envy as well as TDS. Why is it you never put Bill Clinton in the same Limelight? He was a sitting Potus who committed adultery as well as some of his other activities could be considered Rape. For that matter most of your hero reps and Senators are known to be swingers.
Ya bill and Greg. ??? How about old Clinton. People had a habit of dropping dead who got anywhere near your man Clinton. I guess he had the right to have them knocked off.
Clinton sucked. I was a strong republican back then. Not sure wtf you’re talking about.
You don’t know what anyone is talking about. I am referring to the party life in DC. The one Madison Cawthorn exposed. I doubt you were ever a republican.
Before you were born son.
You might ask your mom. I could be your daddy. Oh wait DJT holds that title
Careful.
Take your own advice
Only if he has native blood.
You have no idea what blood I carry. Reference previous post
You must be talking about Bill Clinton.
Hillary partied with Trump back in the day.could be her too.
Impossible, DJT has never used alcohol or drugs in his life. Greg lie # 1,999.
Not drinking. Use your imagination if you have one.
Ummmm I don’t ever want imagine Hillary in the buff. I’m not perverted as you are
Don’t shoot the messenger. Remember, Trump was a dem, and Hillary used to be a republican.
Everyone starts out somewhere and changes do occur. Look at Lisa’s claim to being a member of the Republican party. Honestly with Trumps history of women, I don’t think old horse face would peak his interest. He’s not like you and your crush on the bag o bones senator from ak.
If Murkowski knows what’s good for her she will vote to confirm I believe Trump can make her life miserable
Like how?
Like not providing alaska with monies for projects, opening anwr back to oil exploration, fishing restrictions. POTUS has a lot of influence, more so than skeletor.
Does that make her life miserable?
Well when she has to face the Alaskan people she pretends to represent, yes. When you disturb the quality of life of the families and people you claim to represent things can get dicey.
Not giving her millions to pay people to not work.
Suzanne, can you please put a different picture of Lisa up? I’m so tired of seeing that picture.
Can’t wait to put her name up instead of that ugly picture?
We sure need to get rid of her, but I am so tired of looking at her picture every time she’s on the news.
Senator Murkowski is on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committees so it is appropriate to comment on nominess before hearings. She is not on the Defense Committeee, so it is not surprising she would not comment on a nominee that may not make it out of committeee hearings. Senator Murkowski is not a sh-t stirrer and is noted for following Senate protocol.
I call bs on your statement Frank.
Frank says: “Senator Murkowski is not a sh-t stirrer and is noted for following Senate protocol.”
Tell that to Judge Kavanaugh and Donald Trump. I think you are more than normally confused. Cheers –
Normally confused??. Frank is thoroughly confused.
If she deviates from the incoming administration, alaska will pay, and she will be primarried. It will suck for alaska in the wait, yet her removal will be worth the wait. GOP I’d not the uniparty, chamber of commerce, Globalist, RINOs anymore.
Simply evidenced by her voting record, Murkowski is the callused tool of Pelosi, as was Peltola. Her body language dictates a moral decay, combative to the citizens of Alaska. She clings still to the ‘woke’ fumes.
What are those “Star Trek” symbols on her shoulders?
Perhaps a Federation uniform? Best to not ask too many questions Komrade
Commander.
Vote for Pete.
What is the process to kick Murkowski out!
We can’t kick a sitting senator out. Unfortunately.
Start by having her bend over. It’s always a surer landing spot when kicking a little tail.
There is none.
Tell me about it, Greg.
I bet Vern can’t wait to spend a lot of that Senate pension money when Lisa finally retires in 2036 or 2042,…..or…?
But Vern, she’s looking pretty haggard. What are you going to do with all that spare change? I guess you’ve already figured it out, since retirement has been your foundation for the past 25 years or more(?).
The Constitution has a provision to impeach Senators for treason bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. It has never been done for a senator. However, there doesn’t seem to be a problem to impeach a certain president twice. Once even when that president was out of office. No one would think Senator Murkowski is worth the time or effort to impeach.
Basically, Senator Murkowski is not particularly bright (bar exam, 3 times?). She is steeped in self righteousness and totally driven by TDS in pathological proportions. She uses the ‘Republican brand’ when it’s useful but will support the democrat for Congress for Alaska. Senator Murkowski claims to be a Reagan Republican. She fails to realize that the political landscape has entirely changed since then. America as we know it is fading away. She is seemingly incapable of understanding the ‘realpolitik’ of situations. The needs of Alaska are secondary to her ‘needs’.
Murkowski is mostly likely waiting to see which way the wind blows.
Unless you vote 100% with Trump, you are a traitor to most in this comment group. What they want is one party/person rule like in North Korea and call it “conservatism.”
Do nothing that might upset the Dear Leader.
Yeah, it leads to being called a leftist, a libtard and Democrat. It all in the plan. Keep people mad at each other and spreading hate. People so easily fall for it.
Weird even the blue dog dems voted trump. He united the people with common sense. You are lost in what a grass root movement is under way. MAGA is united people of common sense, which you lack.
Oh, Lord, cman, you project your own base belief system, that unless you vote 100% with Biden, you are a traitor to most in this comment group.
Supporters of Trump come from a vast myriad of belief systems, from conservatives to libertarians to blue dog democrats to original LGB warriors to every religious group to every individualist supporting group known to humankind.
You, upon the other hand, belong unto a very specific group of cultists that believe within a singular theology of ideology that cannot be separated from reality, which is thus.
Your rigid, and unforgiving theology, cannot allow a single differentiating thought or presentation that differs from your own core belief.
You attack every individual that you believe that should belong within your ‘convent’ that has dared to stray from your reservation.
Any individual that happens to occupy a space as a minority that exhibits an individual thought process is suddenly considered a ‘turncoat’ or ‘traitor’ unto the ‘Cause’….
Well, cman, what is the ‘Cause’?
From where I sit, your ‘Cause’ is EXACTLY like North Korea. Envelope YOUR belief system, with NO exceptions, or be castigated as an enemy of the hive.
Keep your hive, cman. It will certainly fail once it is shown for what it is, and it collapses from within.
I never voted for Biden and disagreed with many of the things he did while in office. You sure pretend to know a lot about someone you don’t know. Thank you for making my point for me. You have a comment forum where more than 90% of the people have the same viewpoint as you and you see one person with a different opinion and you’re in a state about it.
Pay no attention. He is 12 with small hands.
Only people with small hands would understand your reference. mine are xxl
Greg, look me up on whatever website you wish to. You have my name.
Actually, let me make it easier for you.
My given name is Randolph Lee Harkins.
My birthdate is July 20, 1963.
Look me up and tell me again I am not whom I am, and do not stand for what I stand for.
I wasn’t talking to you.
Responding unto cman…um, wait, cman is Greg Forkner????
I can be two places at once.
Greg, is that you?
She’s right about him
She voted for a green new dealer and a Clintonista grifter.
Remember that she thought Harland was a good enough pick to vote for. That was such a fine judgement for Alaska!!!
