GOP Sen. Murkowski: ‘Partisan’ Mayorkas impeachment a ‘detour’ from work
The Hill ^ | 01/31/2024 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) on Wednesday criticized the House impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as a partisan detour from Congress’s important work.

Asked about the merits of trying Mayorkas on impeachment charges in the Senate, Murkowski said lawmakers need to focus on funding the government instead.

“Oh my goodness. We’re busy, right? To have to take a detour from the important work that’s going on,” she said.

The Alaska senator, a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, cited an upcoming meeting on legislation to fund the government through 2024 and the need to fund national security needs in a defense supplemental.

Ranked voting saved this rat traitor. Mitch and the boys worked to get it shoved through in Alaska to save this wretched woman.

Busy, busy, yes...lots of stuff more important than the invasion over the southern border. This is Alaska's "Republican".

This is why Trump is so popular. The GOP is absolutely worthless and has proven it for decades.

Murkowski is puppet of business interests that pay her salary and that want open borders.

Call the “cow” what it really is: another RAT female trojan horse, unlike Hindu Nikki, however, this one slipped under the gate via RCV. It’s “Alaskan Hillary” without the suicide hot line.
Should be kicked to the curb and utterly forced OUT of the GOP.

It’s not a surprise she would say this.

She’s a very moderate Republican that served in the Senate with Biden.

So not really news.

Make Washington DC great again. British burned it down in 1812 and America survived. Our system is a massive redundancy of federal and state departments. We could easily slash most of the Fedgov portion. These politicians and bloated bureaucracy are worthless.

I’ve spent many summer vacations IN Alaska. I doubt there is a paved road that I have not been down more than once not to mention many, many gravel roads/highways. I’ve interacted with Alaska business people and everyday folks from every income level.

Lol.....I’ve found that, in general, about half of Alaskans are very, very difficult, about 25% just want to be left the hell alone, and the other 25% are easy going and just could care less.

So, given my opinion, I truly understand how and why a Liberal Democrat (effectively, ok so she’s really a RINO), and complete moron, get’s elected in beautiful Alaska. On top of all that, she is a rare kind of unattractive.

Regardless of what the House does, it will die in the Senate.

That’s easy for her to say, because there are no busses coming from Texas going to Alaska.

As much I dislike Mayorkas, it is incomprehensible why he alone is considered responsible for the mess on the border and nothing is mentioned about the responsibility of his boss and the border czar.

The point is not to get a conviction but good hand these cases to Hawley and Cruz and leather convict these rodents in the court that counts which is the court of public opinion. Where the rodents can’t intimidate witnesses or judges or DA shpo or destroy evidence. This is the goal. When the prosecution fails because the rodents put party and power over country we score big points.
