Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday and called on lawmakers not to give President Donald Trump their authority.
Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “Certainly there’s a lot of debate among Democrats right now as to who is that face, who is the leader for the party right now? Who’s going to play the role that Nancy Pelosi did during those first couple of years of Trump’s initial term in office? So now let’s take a look at more from Ryan Noble’s interview with Senator Murkowski, who warned her Republican colleagues not to cede their authority to President Trump.”
Murkowski said, “When the executive basically blows by Congress or rolls right over Congress and we allow that, we’re ceding our responsibility. I believe you can absolutely be a 100% supporter of President Trump and still stand up for the institution of the Senate, for the legislative branch with our authorities that are prescribed to us specifically by the Constitution.”
She added, “And so if we don’t, if we just say, well, we like his policies so therefore we’re going cede some of our authorities, don’t think this is the last time you’ll see that.”

Other than McConnell, she's the most despicable RINO in Congress.
Well, if she was on with Joe and meeka, nobody saw it anyway.
Murkowski, you better shut your mouth.
Read it lately?
Get her off committees and pull her staff. Put her office in a basement closet.
Collins too.
Why isn’t she complaining about the Judicial branch running over the Executive with all of the injunction rulings?
I’ve seen her on the Senate floor close and cozy with McConnell on more than one occasion there’s no doubt she represents what many despise about politics in general and the Senate Republicans in particular.
Thune needs to jerk a knot in her ass
You ceded your authority long ago.
She’s ok with ceding her authority to EPA and other agencies to hide her accountability & get re-elected. And its not just her.
I think Murkowski is the Democrat leader right now.
Shaddap, bish.
Daddy’s girl, Murkowski has gotten where she is by gaming the system. She can’t win in a fair election. She needs third-party gimmicks and rank choice voting to remain in office.
That sounds like a quote from the Heels-Up lexicon.
Lets have a full scale investigation of her finances! More important to start with the traitor rinos than the crazy rats.
Lisa Murkowski does not even make a very good RINO, at that.
Not merely politically unreliable, she seems not to recognize there is an organized Republican party, so she does not have to bow to its authority.
So she sticks out her lower lip and defiantly states, “You can’t make me do ANYTHING I don’t want to!”
Onmibus Appropriations offers the country nothing but your own eventual demise in a dystopian wreck.
Can she be recalled by the people of alaska? Is there any way to get rid of her? The Republican Party should toss her out
That’s what folks get with “ranked choice” voting.
Shut up Lisa. Geez. Nag, Nag, Nag.
