Murkowski backs Haley in GOP primary
The Hill ^ | 3/1/24 | Caroline Vakil

Posted on 03/01/2024 3:03:34 PM PST by cotton1706

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) announced Friday she is endorsing former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in the GOP presidential primary against former President Trump.

“I’m proud to endorse Gov. Nikki Haley,” Murkowski said in a statement.

“America needs someone with the right values, vigor, and judgment to serve as our next President—and in this race, there is no one better than her,” she continued. “Nikki will be a strong leader and uphold the ideals of the Republican Party while serving as a President for all Americans.”

Murkowski, the first GOP senator to endorse Haley in the race, was among seven Republican senators to vote to convict Trump for his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Trump, however, was not ultimately convicted in the Senate.

The former president has called Murkowski a “RINO,” referencing the acronym “Republican in name only,” and claimed “she’s worse than a Democrat,” in endorsing a primary challenger to her during the November 2022 midterms following her vote to convict him.

“Who was the GENIUS that came up with the idea of allowing women in the GOP?”

Can’t generalize that way. There are many magnificent female repubs. On the other hand, there are the Romney, Kinzinger etc type faux men of the world.

“Can’t generalize that way.”

True, but when it takes 5 men to neutralize the destruction caused by one Liz Cheney, it was a REALLY BAD deal for the GOP.

Blame Alaska Republicans.

Blame the idiot Alaskan voters for passing Ranked Choice Voting in 2020.

There’s not many female politicians I like but one of them is Lauren Boebert. So what if her personal life is messy? If anything, that’s a bonus. She’s not a creature of the swamp. So I’ll be happy to vote for her. Too bad she’ll lose in the primary.

Not Alaska Pubbies - they defeated her in a primary but she ran and won in the general anyway. She’s a damn political vampire.

Yeah. Real winning issue you got there.

Maybe start the he man women haters club.

Alaska is rural enough that I got away with feeding some men live into the wood chipper and dipping others in acid baths and burying them in the wilderness but then I turned to the more efficient manner of emasculating and tormenting men: I went into politics.

When is this ancient, traitorous, commie going to retire?
When are Americans going to wake up?
How long are fools going to continue to elect bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts?

The republiCAN’T party are not the party of stupid.
They keep getting elected by the stupids.
I know, because I used to be one of them.
Just say NO!

I think we are going to have to wait for Lisa to lapse from this live before we will be free of the Murkowski Maladay.

This is hilarious.

Nikki is now four days away from the most horrendous humiliation in the history of American politics.

The endorsement is just bizarre at this point.
