Trump goes after ‘RINO’ Murkowski during Alaska rally: ‘She’s worse than a Democrat’

Former President Trump used a rally in Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday to target Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who is up for reelection this November, asserting that “she’s worse than a Democrat.”

While Trump was in the state to campaign for several candidates he has endorsed, he focused much of his speech on Murkowski, calling her “a lousy senator” shortly after beginning his stump speech.

“She’s a total creature of the Washington swamp, but much worse than that, and a tool of a corrupt establishment, the likes of which we’ve never seen. The fake news media loves her,” Trump said.

The former president criticized Murkowski for opposing the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh while joining two other Republican senators and all 50 Democrats to vote for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation.

He also slammed her for her vote in favor of bipartisan gun safety legislation passed in the wake of high-profile shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas.

“This is your precious chance to dump the horrific RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski, who’s worse than a Democrat. She’s worse than a Democrat,” Trump said, using the acronym for “Republican in name only.”

Trump-endorsed Alaska Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka called Murkowski “Biden’s CEO,” adding that she was his “chief enabling officer.”

Murkowski has drawn Trump’s ire after she voted along with six other Republican senators to convict the former president after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. In June 2021, he endorsed Tshibaka, setting up one of the most-watched Senate races for November.

Trump’s rally in Alaska comes ahead of the state’s Aug. 16 primary. Cook Political Report rates the Senate race as “solid Republican,” meaning that whoever wins the GOP primary will be considered the heavy favorite in November.

No nation has ever had so many post menapausal old ladies in high elected or appointed offices. These demented women are destroying the American nation with the power they now have.

asserting that “she’s worse than a Democrat.”

KEY PHRASE. She has to go UNDER the Dem in ranked voting.
