Alaska GOP Censures McConnell For Backing Murkowski

I get the feeling that the “Civil War” so many people are worried about won’t be between Democrats and Republicans but rather between MAGA Republicans and perceived RHINOs like McConnell. If so, maybe it won’t be such a bad thing to have happen.

Much to do about nothing.

That is other than perhaps which deplorable, McConnell or someone else, should be the Repug leader in the Senate, there is nothing of importance Murkowski or Tshibaka would do differently as a Senator.

That is perhaps it is important to Republicans if you are for or against overthrowing the Government by force of violence, it is by far to low a bar to make any real difference.

Not only can the Alaska GOP see Russia, they are Russia.
Bet that hurts being censured by the Alaska GOP? :fu:

It might sway a few alaskan voters who get pissed at $5 mil of out of state money trying to decide their election.

Things are gonna be awkward for moscow mitch if Tshibaka becomes the 51st senator.

Funny how the MAGAts thinks it super-duper okey-dokey FOR THEM to interfere in races outside from whatever rock they live under (and scream VOTER FRAUD at every election that doesn’t go their way), but by crackie if someone else does it, there’s gonna be hell to pay! I’m sure Turtle Man is getting real value out of his $3 million – Lisa Murkowski may be allowed to stray a bit, but she’ll still vote 90+% of the time with the Goopers.
