Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) asserted Thursday that former Secretary of Defense James Mattis calling President Donald Trump a threat to the U.S. Constitution was “true, honest, necessary, and overdue.”

Murkowski, one of the Senate’s most left-leaning Republicans, made the comment while speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill. Asked whether she supports President Trump, the lawmaker replied,” “I am struggling with it [ and] I have struggled with it for a long time.”

On Wednesday, Mattis attacked President Trump in a statement to The Atlantic by accusing the president of violating the Constitution over the clearing of Lafayette Park on Monday and deploying the military to blunt riots in Washington, D.C.

They are feeling the heat coming from several areas. Their schemes are failing and the desperate do rash things.

Partisan Media Shills update.

[FlipWilson]

I have never witnessed so many backing something that is so easily, probably wrong.

[central_va]

Sarah Palin are you watching? This should have been your seat you could have prevented this.

[stanne]

They continue to underestimate the electorate

The president is the commander in chief whether some people like it or not.

This is seditious. I don’t care if megalomaniac Mattis or any senator overrides that rule.

[central_va]

She IS a mainstream Senate Republican....

[electricjack]

Sarah Palin run for Senator from Alaska at least there will be 1 real conservative from alaska in the senate...

[AU72]

Sarah Palin would have beat her in a primary if she wasn’t fed up with politics.

As I told a friend yesterday, I’m not a republican, I’m a conservative. I cited mitt romney as an example. I shall add this bimbo as well.

[Tame Dog Mattis was a terrible Secretary of Defense. He seemed to confuse his position and think he was Secretary of State directing foreign policy. Man up, Tame Dog, and stop griping about falling out of disfavor with your boss.]

I don’t understand the nickname. To my thinking, someone who breaks the rules and risks serious punishment, including imprisonment, for his men might deserve the tag. That’s what Col. Allen West did when he fired a pistol next to an insurgent’s head to get him to talk. All Mattis ever did was get a bunch of his people killed by enforcing politically-correct rules of engagement, and talking crap that he lacked the moral courage to follow through on.

Splinter a party that supports Trump 96%.

Have at it

[irishjuggler]

Good ol’ Murky. She can always be counted on to back-stab at the optimal time.

[Arm_Bears]

They thing Trump is on the ropes now.

The day after the election is going to very interesting to watch.

[littleharbour]

The fact that McConnell doesn’t expel her from the GOP Senate caucus speaks volumes. Open rebellion against a sitting U.S. President and the rats inside the Republican Party are joining the feeding frenzy. They helped her steal her last election and are doing nothing to punish her duplicity. Cowards all.

The cash Kow wants $$$ for Alaska again. I’m seeing lots of people locally making fools of themselves over BLM and Trump. Some i once had respect for, not anymore. I am also seeing we are not going to be able to continue as a unified country much longer until one side destroys the other.

[smvoice]

Hello Sarah. Time to put on your big girl panties and beat this b*tch like a John Bonham solo

[Jane Long]

Hear, hear!!

[LeonardFMason]

PLEASE Sarah Palin run against this FRAUD. She does not represent ALASKA.

Like I said, the base is with Trump. The political class - career politicians, lobbyists, consultants, bif money donors, other leeches ... you know, the never-Trumpers - are all with the Bush wing. Ultimately the Bush's seek not to win, but to do enough damage that Biden wins. And if that happens because of the GOPe there is no way the Bush's get to re-capture the base. That bridge will be burned forever. Their "victory" over Trump will be Pyrrhic, they'll be the leaders or a party that has no base because the base will split off.

The GOP has had a good run. If the RINOs had gotten behind Reagan and later Trump it could have been the leading party for generations. Alas, they didn't.
