U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Friday that Donald Trump should resign the presidency immediately and that if the Republican Party cannot separate itself from Trump, she isn’t certain she has a future with the party.

“I want him to resign. I want him out. He has caused enough damage,” Murkowski, R-Alaska, said during an interview from her small Capitol office, steps away from the Senate chambers that were invaded by pro-Trump rioters on Wednesday......"

Guess, the senator did not get a good look at how other senators have been greeted at airports this week.

This is the stupidest and most self destructive I have ever seen politicians. You do not need to do this crap unless you think this man can harm you greatly in two weeks.

Murkowski was a Republican? Could have fooled me.

I question her future as a senator. A huge chunk of the AK vote for her is Republican. Can she get elected, ever, without GOP votes? We will find out in 2022.

In an evenly divided Senate, threatening defection is called making a power move.

Would not surprise me if she keeps her E&NR committee chairmanship as a result.

She would not pull this if she was not sure of her political base. She may have made a mistake this time.

Murkowski is up again in 2022. Just get rid of her already, Alaska.

Thanks Alaska.

Trump supporters couldn’t give damn if every republican switched parties. I guess they don’t realize half the country gates them.

If it’s Sara vs. Murkowski, McConnell will pour lots of money into Murkowski’s campaign.

Go way then, Murkowski. Thanks for leaving.

I hate to tell ya but your future is shot. FY!!!

She she got defeated the first primary when she ran as a Republican.

"how other senators have been greeted at airports this week" what a great idea, follow their schedules and harass the Hell out of them. Make them as uncomfortable as is possible. They're traitors, plain and simple! They've ruined America in my estimation.

[Irenic]

She did the write in, right?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Didn't she run as an independent in the first place? Write-in in maybe?

Sarah Palin said to Murky a few years ago after Murky sat out the Kavanaugh vote, “I can see 2022 from my house!”

[crager]

She’s likely, hopefully, catching flack in AK and is doing a double dare by threatening to switch parties.

Brown bears gotta eat, they’ll eat rotten blubber ...... Does Lisa even reside in Alaska or just on paper ?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I want her to take a Ted Stevens airplane flight around Alaska. Rest in Pieces, you backstabbing bitch.
