Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has revealed that she recently phoned President Trump to clarify that she doesn’t hate him.
Mrs. Murkowski, a moderate Republican whose votes will be watched closely in the president’s impeachment trial, told the Anchorage Daily News that she learned before the holidays Mr. Trump reportedly told a group of people that he believed she hated him.
“He was just kind of off the cuff and he said, ‘I don’t know, I think Lisa Murkowski hates me. I kind of like her,’ ” she said of the president’s comments.
She told her home-state newspaper, “And I read that and I was like ‘Oh gosh, I don’t hate him.’”
So she phoned the president.
“And I just said, ‘Hey, sir, you know, there’s all this stuff out there that you think I hate you,” Mrs. Murkowski said. “‘I don’t hate you. I don’t hate anybody, but I don’t hate you.’”
She told Mr. Trump that she was willing to speak out about their disagreements but it didn’t mean she hated him.
“He was so sweet, he says: ‘Oh, that’s so nice,” Mrs. Murkowski said.
She said that she told the president she didn’t want him going to bed on a Friday night thinking that she hated him.
The phone call lasted about 10 minutes, she said.
“I think it’s important to recognize that you can have policy disagreements,” Mr. Murkowski told the paper. “You can not like the way somebody has said something. But these are people that we work with. And relationships do matter.”

We can trust her-Did I say that?
Awww....isn’t that sweet? /s
Ok. Sounds like middle school.
I don’t trust her.
Somebody saw her poll numbers......
I bet Palin will kick her butt in the primaries
Hmmm if Lisa did hate the D, she wouldn’t even make the phone call. Does Nazi Pelosi phone call the prez?
She has never run against Palin. Her last 2 elections, she beat Joe Miller.
She is a coward that easily should have throat punched Fienswine.
Well, I still think she hates the D... but maybe not the same D you are talking about.
Why is getting this narrative out important to her?
And that’s with the Senate Reelection campaign committee refusing to support Miller, basically working for her. She screws up, she might find no friends at all.
The President’s response: “No, I don’t hate Murkowski. I pity the fool, and I will destroy any senator who tries to take what I got!
She told her home-state newspaper,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is all about her poll numbers vs Trump’s in Alaska.
She never ran against Sarah Palin. Who quit anyway.
She loves him so much that she wants to screw him.
Well ain’t that special that you don’t hate the President? Well I hate you and hope you get your ass handed to you in your next election!!!!!
What are you smoking? Palin isn’t running for anything ....
What are you smoking? Palin isn’t running for anything ....
