The question is why.
Anti-Trump Senator Lisa Murkowski Whines She’s "Afraid” of Speaking Her Mind About the President
What is Murkowski so afraid of? Does she believe Trump will send ICE to her house to cart her away and deport her to El Salvador?
Of course not. What she fears is Trump will bring his prestige to bear to promote a credible primary challenge and get her tossed out of her cushy job in the Senate, force her to actually go to work somewhere.
FTA:
"We are all afraid,” Murkowski said, pausing.
"It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.
Trump could perhaps get her reassigned to less desirable committees IF RINO John Thune would agree, but it seems unlikely. The main thing Trump can do is give her a tonguelashing. Apparently she never learned the children's rhyme (sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me). Other than that Trump can support a primary challenge, and perhaps pressure her sponsors to defund her campaign.
So is this a hyperbolic statement or something else?
Is she perhaps not afraid more of what Trump is doing as President in his official duties than about some revenge move? Is she afraid her name is going to show up in some corruption scandal uncovered by DOGE or by the AG office? How deeply involved was the Merk in the frame-up of Trump? In other, unrelated matters?
I suspect she isn't fearful of retaliation so much as of justice.
And of the loss of power by the Deep State, to which she pledged her life, her fortune, and her good name (sic).
Lisa Murkowski has always been rolling around in the pig pen, as did her father before her. Now she is afraid. Soap and water are never the friends of the hogs with snouts deep in the trough.
The Merky one also called for RESIST! from Congress:
"I think it’s important the concerns continue to be raised rather than letting the fatigue of the chaos grind you down.”
That's because the American People overwhelmingly asked for what Trump and DOGE are doing, and polls show most Americans are happy with it. Congress has to give America what it wants now lest they be turned out of office. They understand this which is why the same people who wouldn't advance Trump's agenda a scant five years ago are now moving forward with him; they realize it's either play ball or die. Murkowski and the other RINO Republicans want to return to "regular order" meaning they play second banana to the Democrats and use the fact that they are in a minority to justify skimming off the top on all these programs. For the first time in thirty five years we have a President who is trying to actually restore the country rather than enrich his friends. That isn't the way the game is played and not why most of our government got into it in the first place. Government "service" was simply a way to get rich without really trying - until now.
Murkowski's fear is of seeing the gravy train derail. Little more than that.
