GOP Sen. Murkowski: ‘Partisan’ Mayorkas impeachment a ‘detour’ from work

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.

Well it’s the one silver lining of the Russkies taking back Alaska, we won’t have to deal with Murkowski anymore.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski is deep state and thus her words are not worth reading.

“Rank Choice” is definitely the name for that kind of system.

We are told that elections are OK there is no rigging but even though we have elections trying to change the system in this case to “Rank Choice” is living proof of election rigging.

F*** You, Murky! How do you keep get getting re-elected?
What are some of the more important work you see yourself doing? You can’t pass a budget, you can’t close the border. Get off you fat ass and do something.

I guess that Alaska is so shit poor, that they can’t function if there’s any stoppage of the Federal dollars flowing in...

“The senate won’t convict Mayorkas” — is not a lie. She lies by omission. “Funding the government” is not enough either.

What I meant by “not enough” is that Murk ignores the harmful impact of passing uniparty funding bills, both WRT spending and bad law.

When does Mayorkas’ impeachment get taken by the House floor?
