Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a barely-Republican senator from Alaska, said she cannot vote to convict the President. After she said that, she bashed him for his “shameful and wrong” behavior.
“I cannot vote to convict. The Constitution provides for impeachment but does not demand it in all instances.” Murkowski said.
She verbally convicted the President for allegedly putting his personal interests above the nation’s interests. Only problem is Murkowski doesn’t know that.
The evidence shows the President was concerned about corruption in general and the fact that other nations weren’t contributing as much to Ukraine’s military. How much personal interests played into his decision is not a fact in evidence.
Murkowski additionally said he “degraded the office.” That’s her opinion.
“Degrading the office by actions or even name-calling weakens it for future presidents and it weakens our country,” she added.
Apparently, she’s offended by Shifty Schiff, Mini Mike, Sleepy Joe, Pocahontas, and so on. A lot of it is pretty funny.
Murkowski continued, “The response to the president’s behavior is not to disenfranchise nearly 63 million Americans and remove him from the ballot. The House could have pursued censure and not immediately jumped to the remedy of last resort,” she said.

She didn’t let the House or the Senate off the hook.
“The structure we built should have been sufficient, but the foundation upon which it rested was rotted.”
“The House failed in its responsibilities … the Senate should be ashamed by the rank partisanship that has been on display.”

If ANY Republicans do NOT SEE/HEAR what Corrupt Democrats have done to this man-DJT, from the DAY HE DECLARED, then THEY are NOT PAYING ATTENTION. Or, is it that “An Outsider(not a career politico like the ones in ALL the Gov’t) did NOT want the “Outsider, as HE could look into what they ARE or ARE NOT DOING FOR THE PEOPLE THEY REPRESENT, AND HE IS SHINING A LIGHT ON ALL THE INEPT AND MONEY-HUNGRY POLITICOS AND IS SHINING THE LIGHT ON ALL WHO DECEIVE US.”
POTUS Trump, is from N.Y…….perhaps he does “speak plainly and a bit rough, but SO did Truman, who did
NOT act wishy washy, and can “CUT TO THE CHASE, AND GET THINGS DONE FOR US AND AMERICA,
IN SPITE OF THE 24/7 ATTACKS ON HIM,…..AND HIS OWN FAMILY.” I’m GLAD truthfully that Trump was NOT ‘a Career Politician, and in HIS business, he would have HAD to speak to Many types of people, in the Trades, Architects, Dealing with the Many Permits to build, etc. so HE KNOWS BUSINESS and US.
DID Lisa, Collins, Jealous Romney, and Others LIKE the way Obama acted ‘cool, insulting MANY Americans
and “Arrogant(his words) America, depleted our military, and tried to start a Race War, Dividing Americans and pitting them AGAINST each other, and lastly, he “SHREDDED our Constitution on a Daily Basis along with MANY SCANDALS I WONDER IF THESE REPUBLICANS DON’T WANT TO ADMIT, OR IT’S OK WHAT HE AND HILLARY DID IN “TAKING DOWN AMERICA”
I have read that Alaska is not happy with her.
I’ve noticed that the corrupt practices of the Democrats, we all know what I’m talking about, too many to mention here, I’ve noticed those corrupt practices don’t seem to bother the RINO Senator from Alaska. Just Trump, and every stretch they make to tie him to wrongdoing.
Get rid of her.
Would suggest a slow and thorough reading of the 1930 Robert Musil novel,”The (Wo)Man Without Qualities.” It will help us understand those who want to slosh along the middle without getting wet.
If I were able to address her directly, I’d ask her to succintly describe what “behavior” she is alluding to, specifically.
Along with the dim/commies, sounds like she is referring to the “behavior” as described by shifforbrains in his fictional account of the Trump/Zelensky phone call. Which he read to congress as being a true accounting of the call. That is called “perjury”, as he was reading it into the cogressional record as an actual event.
When can we expect schifforbrains to be cuffed and perp walked to jail? Yeah, right.
As far as the senatior from AK, I think she should be recalled, if possible, and sent home in sack cloth and ashes. In total disgrace for being so stupid. The citizens of her state should be totally ashamed of her.
Just sayin’.
