Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska did not hold back during Thursday night’s high-stakes “Debate for the State” in Anchorage when he spotted his Democrat opponent, former Rep. Mary Peltola, appearing to read from scripted notes or answers.
Sullivan appeared suspicious after observing Peltola consulting her notes and suggested that her responses looked suspiciously prepared.
“We weren’t supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we?” Sullivan asked the moderators from Alaska Public Media and Alaska’s News Source.
The moderator replied firmly: “Neither one of you got questions beforehand. Absolutely not.”
Sullivan didn’t let it go. “Okay, I’m just watching my opponent read from questions that seem to be answered.”
Peltola’s response was pure Democrat confidence: “I’m prepared.”
Sen. Dan Sullivan: We weren't supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we?
Moderator: "Neither one of you got questions beforehand. Absolutely not.
Sullivan: Okay, I'm just watching my opponent read from questions that seem to be answered.
Mary Peltola: I'm prepared. https://t.co/sckOlkwsAx

Is it really that libertarian? I know many there want you to think that. It has a huge “gimmiedat” demographic. That’s how Lisa Murkowski stays in power.
That’s not easy to believe, considering the legacy of the Murkowskis , flame out of Sarah Palin ( boy was she the hope FR 18 years ago) and failure to overturn rank choice scheme.
Alaska Public Media, meaning NPR was the moderator.
Not neutral.
He knows that going in. He’s a big boy.
And Sullivan publicly called them out for providing the questions to Peltola.
Not a bad tactic. It’s a given that Dem’s are skunks. Apologies to the skunks.
