It was obvious.
It was: „I got mine, screw everyone else“…
When you can’t stand by your principles during hard times, you have to realize that you never had any principles. You had hobbies
If she had any integrity she wouldn’t be a Republican.
She was talking about possibly switching parties or going Independent in the future. She better not. After this, no one on the left will ever vote for her. In fact, she might even need to kiss voters on the right goodbye.
Summary: „The country will be fucked, but Alaska will be OK, hence my hide is safe. Everyone else should not vote for this.“
Yeah, fuck that. McCain was probably the last Republican with principles.
Amazing that the US has a political party based on the hate and suffering of other Americans
Yep add her to the disgraced pile.
and Alaskans will remember at the midterm elections.
Hopefully she’ll choose the noble way out.
She did a “ F you I got mine“, which is perfectly in line with conservative principles. She just happened to consider Alaskan people a part of her group, whereas most republicans consider only their rich donors or cult members who love getting screwed over a part of their group.
Her entire legislative personality is based on being “very concerned” with terrible legislation and cabinet picks and then voting for it anyway.
Did she get a used and signed adult diaper out of it?
One would have to have principles in the first place to abandon
Best to protest now the freedom to is rapidly vanishing
Not abandoned principles, fake principles.
Abandoned what now?
Yeah… Keep pissing us off. Free haircuts on Pennsylvania Ave. Got this neat (1 cut and done) salon we can set up for all of them.
Every single one of these senators and representatives who voted for this bill need to never know what a moment of peace is again in their pathetic lives! We all knew they would cave, but let’s make sure they never hear the end of it!
These people are monsters. They’ll sacrifice all of us for power and money.
Also, all she had to do to arrive at the same outcome for Alaska was *vote no*.
There was literally no incentive for her to accept the deal that she—and all of us—would have gotten anyway!
Make it make sense.
Look, I’m 52 and have no hate for anyone, HOWEVER this immoral, lying bitch is near the last. Along with Yambo.
They’re there to serve themselves, not the people.
It’s far too kind to suggest Murkowski had any principles to abandon.
Hard to abandon principles if you never had them in the first place
A traitor

She folded, what a coward
Murk-wow she is really is totally void of humanity
Senator Murkowski (and the rest of the MAGA-GOP) are always surprised by how easy it was to trade their values and principles for money, power and fame.
The term „abandoned“ implies she had principles to begin with
„OK, Lisa. As long as you voted for the bill, we’ll let you decry it to your voters, who all hate it. No repercussions.“
„Thank you. And I’d like that money in cash this time.“
Oh look, old people not giving a fuck about anything but themselves. Shocking.
But the good thing is whaling captains got a tax break. /s
She could have stopped it all if she had a spine.
You must have principles to abandon them. That was not the case here.
Alaskan here, and I’m very disappointed and not at all surprised. This state is swinging right of Trump, and Murkowski is alone in the middle. She chose survival over principle.
Edit: middle of the Alaska spectrum
Murkowski has always been a rat
She voted yes then said she hopes others have more morals than her and vote no.
The very definition of „fuck you I got mine“.
Yet the people of Alaska will forgot this when they go to the polls. Maybe they’ll get lucky and Mitch McConnell will move to Anchorage?
The really funny thing is that the exemptions she courageously won for Alaska are only for 2 years. She sold out the country for a 2 year exemption.
I wish the media would ask her if she needed a carve out for her people why not just vote no so the rest of the country didn’t lose what she didn’t want Alaska to lose.
This godless, invertebrate politician is an evil muppet.
Also, we need to stop Congressional freedom to play the stock market! They all get rich and SEC rules do not apply. What a racket!
I don’t think she had any principles to abandon
Scumbag traitor to democracy weakling loser.
Murkowski is as depraved and fascist as any other Republican. Her pearl clutching is all phony, performative bullshit. She can eat a satchel of penises.
