Rand Paul Calls For GOP To Oust Two Senators For Lying To Republican Voters
Trending Politics ^ | 04/12/2021 | Martin Walsh

Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul is sounding the alarm on two Republican senators who are, as he claims, “lying” to conservative voters.

While delivering remarks at the Save America Summit in Florida, Paul called for GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins to be “ousted” because they are a “problem” for the party.

“This is our problem,” Paul started.

“Seven Republicans voted to keep Obamacare. You remember John McCain doing it,” he said. “But here’s the thing: this is our problem.”

He continued: “We know the Democrats want to have socialized medicine and nationalized health care. But Republicans say they’re for it, we got to keep them honest. And you got to send home the ones that lie to you.”

Collins won re-election in 2020 and will not face voters again until 2026.

Murkowski, however, is up for re-election in 2022 and already has a formidable Republican primary challenge.

Republican Alaskan Kelly Tshibaka announced she will be challenging Senator Lisa Murkowski in the 2022 Senate primary after Murkowski was censured by the Republican Party for voting in favor of impeaching Trump last year.

Now, a new poll reveals that Murkowski is losing to Tshibaka by double digits.

A poll conducted by Cygnal found that Tshibaka has a 15 point lead on Murkowski, with 33.6 points compared to the senator’s 18.8 percent.

Democrat Al Gross polls at 17.6 percent and Alaska Independence Party John Howe polls at 5.7 percent, and an additional 21.1 percent of voters are undecided at this time.

Murkowski’s popularity has plummeted since she voted to impeach Trump, with only 10 percent of Republicans have a favorable view of her.

A whopping 87 percent of Republicans said they had an unfavorable view of her.

Meanwhile, 61 percent of Trump voters approve of Tshibaka, 61 percent of Republicans approve of her, and 59 percent of conservatives view her in a positive light.

“Lisa Murkowski is in a weak position as an incumbent could possibly find themselves in. A strong Republican candidate is poised to defeat Murkowski. Kelly Tshibaka is that candidate,” Brock McCleary, the vice president of Cygnal, wrote of this poll.

The Alaska Republican Party has voted to censure Republican Lisa Murkowski and will recruit a challenger to run against her in next year’s election.

The Republican State Central Committee voted in favor of the censure during a meeting in Anchorage after district-level officials passed a series of similar resolutions.

Kris Warren, the author of the resolution said in a statement, “We’re looking for somebody else to be our U.S. Senator in 2022, and somebody who will be more in line with the Republican philosophy.”

He added, “There’s a number of issues that the party has had with Sen. Murkowski for the last several years which really culminated in the conviction vote of former President Trump.”

Warren slammed Murkowski for her criticism of Trump, saying: “She’s repeatedly spoken out against President Trump over the years in spite of all the great accomplishments he had that helped the country and certainly helped Alaska.”

When Trump spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference recently, he announced that he would be campaigning against Murkowski in the 2022 Alaska GOP primary.

“I will not be endorsing, under any circumstances, the failed candidate from the great State of Alaska, Lisa Murkowski. She represents her state badly and her country even worse. I do not know where other people will be next year, but I know where I will be — in Alaska campaigning against a disloyal and very bad Senator,” he said.

This does not mean that Murkowski is in trouble. Murkowski lost her last primary. She then ran as an independent against the Republican nominee and won her Senate seat by getting some RINO votes and Democrat votes. It's apparently a winning formula up in Alaska.

IN ADDITION TO THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN
What the Republicans should be doing is using the Georgia reform and doing is this *REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

Answer Biden’s stop order with this :

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ?

They were created with the introduction of Covid 19 which the Biden campaign thanks the CCP for doing; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts

If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed. Because there’s this; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3949751/posts

LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for the Machurian candidate Joe Biden ?

Collins and Snowe are/were placeholders as a buffer for organizational control.

Alaska, however, can definitely do better than Lisa Murkowski - even if only marginally better.

She actually did not run as an independent - the law there allowed her to run as a write-in and keep the Republican Party affiliation - even listed as such on a list of write-in candidates as Republican.

This time around there will be no party primaries - so these articles who keep posting that are apparently not aware of the rule changes. The top 4 finishers in a jungle primary will advance on to the general election - as the incumbent Senator she will most likely make the general election ballot.

Are the Republicants finally getting some infusions of courage? Too little too late it seems. . .
