Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola walked away from a reporter when asked if she agrees with the verdict in former President Donald Trump’s trial in New York, where he was convicted of 34 felonies in regards to money he allegedly paid a woman to not talk about their relationship.
“Congresswoman Peltola, do you agree with the Trump trial verdict?” she was asked.
“I got to go,” she said as she walked away and ignored the follow-up questions.
“Peltola has enthusiastically endorsed Biden, enabled his war on Alaska’s way of life and now refuses to stand up for Alaskans outraged by this politically motivated prosecution,” National Republican Congressional Committee Spokesperson Ben Petersen said.
Peltola evidently finds that her endorsement of President Joe Biden is a unifying topic for Alaska. She said he is one of the sharpest people she has met in Washington, D.C.
