This is what Murkowski actually is reported to have said:
“[I] took the very, very difficult vote that I did. I believe that Brett Kavanaugh is a good man. I believe he is a good man, it just may be that in my view he’s not the right man for the court at this time,” Murkowski told reporters.
I know she voted down Cloture, but that sentence does not state she’s a no... there is a lot of wiggle in that “it just may be that in my view”... that’s about as Clintonesque as you can get.
That’s a speculative statement, not a definitive one.... So I wonder if she’s just playing coy for something.
Almost immediately she began walking this back.
