McConnell backs Murkowski’s reelection, bucking pro-Trump challenger

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is fighting to fend off a pro-Trump challenger to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, flooding airwaves with ads defending the Alaska Republican’s record.

The Senate Leadership Fund, the super PAC associated with Mr. McConnell, said Monday that it booked more than $7 million worth of ad time in Alaska to boost Ms. Murkowski.

“It’s important for Lisa to be reelected. She’s one of the few … moderates in the middle of the Senate,” Mr. McConnell told Axios this week.

The GOP leader added that Ms. Murkowski had been a “key player” to advance bipartisan legislation and that he would do everything in his power to ensure her success in November.

Ms. Murkowski, 64, is fending off a primary challenge from Kelly Tshibaka, who received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.

“It’s important for Lisa to be reelected. She’s one of the few … moderates in the middle of the Senate,” Mr. McConnell told Axios this week.

This is his priority, to keep and get MORE moderates in the Senate...to help the Democrats whenever possible.

ALL Bush League Republicans need to be replaced.

Particularly the Amnesty Senators.

This is news? Mitch has always been a swamp creature and will always be a swamp creature so it is no surprise he is acting like a swamp creature.

He just isn't a back-stabbing swamp creature in the mold of Romney or Liz Cheney, so I guess we should be grateful for that, eh?

Murkopwski is a key player? Since when. She is a sell out, So are Collins and Romney/

Time to move out the dead wood including McConnell. Do you remeber when McConnell sought Trumps endorsement when he last ran in Kentucky? Trump should have campaigned against McConnells re-election byt Mich the Turtle is a slimey , slippery creature.

No way Mitch the Bitch should be calling the shots.And i tsnot all about the money. he can spend all he wants on Murkowski, but it wont get a pig in lipstick re-elected.

Maybe turtle’s endorsement will be the kiss of death for her re-election.

😡 Moderates are the people with no souls. No moral fiber. No backbone. They exist solely to remain in power and elevate government to the highest levels and to never allow you to rest. They can never be trusted to ever do the right thing, ever. Moderates are worse than leftists.

“Moderates are worse than leftists.”

Moderates are the enemy within.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for s/he is known and carries his/her banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his/her sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; s/he speaks in accents familiar to his/her victims, and s/he wears their face and their arguments, s/he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men (and women). S/He rots the soul of a nation, s/he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, s/he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

― Marcus Tullius Cicero

So she votes for Biden’s judge and against Trumps, and our senate leader says “yeah more of that!”?

You know, if we really wanted to screw over the Russians we should loan them Mitch to help plan their battle strategy.

I tried to tell you Kentuckians to get rid of Mitch the backstabbing bitch after he ran those racist attack ads against Chris McDaniels in Mississippi.

Mitch was against the Tea Party and he was always our enemy. Some of us just didn't get it in time to do anything about it.
