Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) on Wednesday criticized the House impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as a partisan detour from Congress’s important work.

Asked about the merits of trying Mayorkas on impeachment charges in the Senate, Murkowski said lawmakers need to focus on funding the government instead.

“Oh my goodness. We’re busy, right? To have to take a detour from the important work that’s going on,” she said.

The Alaska senator, a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, cited an upcoming meeting on legislation to fund the government through 2024 and the need to fund national security needs in a defense supplemental.

Murkowski “As I’ve stated before, no one is above the law but every American is innocent until proven guilty. Still, the charges in this case(against Trump)are quite serious and cannot be casually dismissed"

Eat it, money bag hag.

The Republican Intelligencia has spoken. They do not want to be bothered with this border issue, it’s so unseemly and besides they were paid good money to look the other way.
