Lisa Murkowski Threatens to Leave Republican Party and Join Democrats, Several Republican Senators Including Thune, Romney, Cornyn and Young Agree
According to interviews conducted by The Hill, several Republican senators are now saying they just cannot be members of the Republican Party if they are forced to represent the interests of the base voter. These very specifically named Republicans have always been members of the UniParty in DC; however, now they are saying “populism” amid the commonsense, America First voting base is not going to be acceptable.
The senators are openly warning that if putting American interests first is going to be demanded by the voters, these Republicans will just become Democrats.
What is making these Republican senators angrier is that who they consider to be intellectual and professional people are also demanding a more populist approach toward a government that represents the people. This is just not going to be allowed according to Lisa Murkowski, John Thune, John Cornyn and the other names outlined.
[…] “We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I’m having more ‘rational Republicans’ coming up to me and saying, ‘I just don’t know how long I can stay in this party,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). “Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.
“You have people who felt some allegiance to the party that are now really questioning, ‘Why am I [in the party?]” she added. “I think it’s going to get even more interesting as we move closer to the elections and we start going through some of these primary debates.
[…] “There are an astonishing number of people in my state who believe the election was stolen,” said one Republican senator who requested anonymity to talk about the growing popularity of conservative conspiracy theories at home.
[…] Republican senators say they are alarmed at how many Republicans, including those with higher levels of education and income, buy the unsubstantiated claims that the last presidential election was stolen.
A second Republican senator who spoke with The Hill said the growing strength of radical populism “makes it a lot more difficult to govern, it makes it difficult to talk to constituents.”
“There are people who surprise me — I’m surprised they have those views. It’s amazing to me the number of people, the kind of people who think the election was stolen,” the lawmaker said. “I don’t want to use this word but it’s not just a ‘red-neck’ thing. It’s people in business, the president of a bank, a doctor.”
[…] Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) pushed back on calls to defund the Justice Department, telling reporters: “Are we going to get rid of the Justice Department? No. I think defunding is a really bad idea.”
Thune later explained to The Hill: “There are seasons, swings back and forth in politics and we’re in one now where the dominant political thinking is more populist with respect to national security, foreign policy, some domestic issues.”
But he said “that stuff comes and goes and it’s built around personalities,” alluding to the broadly held view that Trump’s election to the presidency in 2016 and his lasting influence over the party has put his brand of populism at the forefront.
[…] Senate Republicans tried to wave off their House colleagues from advancing articles of impeachment authored by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) against President Biden and rolled their eyes at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) attempt to expunge Trump’s impeachment record.
Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) warned, “I fear that snap impeachments will become the norm, and they mustn’t.”
Asked about efforts to erase Trump’s impeachment record, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) quoted the popular show “Succession”: “Logan Roy made a good point. These are not serious people.”

Wow…so Kerry let the truth out! They want to starve us, while they survive off packs of stored food. 😡😈👎🏽

Remember when Joe Biden gave our mortal enemy the Taliban $7,000,000,000 in American weapons to use against us?
Cute right?
No calls to impeach.
Remember when he shut off our oil production and made our gas prices skyrocket?
Adorable right?
Still no calls to impeach.
Remember when he opened the Mexican border during a pandemic, and YOU had to get vaccinated and wear masks - BUT THE ILLEGALS DIDN’T?!
Best day ever, right?
STILL NO CALLS TO IMPEACH!
So now it’s 27 months later and God only knows who has been allowed to breach our borders!
We have a Department of Homeland Security - BUT NO HOMELAND SECURITY!!!
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE??!!!
A 21-year old has top secret clearance and leaks pentagon documents and all Biden says is “what, me worry”?
AND WHY ARE AMERICAN TROOPS FIGHTING RUSSIAN TROOPS WITHOUT US VOTING ON IT?!
Folks this “president” is the greatest threat to whatever national security we have left, in the 246-year history of this country!
How do Republicans sleep at night knowing that they’re allowing this buffoon to play out the Democrats agenda for destruction?
347 million Americans want AND DESERVE answers and transparency, because this shit stinks to high Heaven!
This country has lost its way and has turned against the people who made it great in the first place.
That’s why I fight for it every day and in every way I can.
STAND WITH ME IF YOU FEEL THE SAME!
God Bless AMERICA 🇺🇸
Hey @RepKatiePorter I'm not speaking up for myself...I'm done playing sports. I'm not fighting for me. I'm actually supposed to be in dental school this year. But I've changed my life plans because I see what's at stake if someone doesn't fight for the present and next generation

JUST IN: Trump tells Tucker Carlson the biggest threat to America is *not* Russia or China, but “from within.”
“Who's the biggest problem? Is it China? Could it be Russia? Could it be North Korea? No. The biggest problem is from within. It's these sick, radical people from within."
Remember #MeToo?
Remember how we were all supposed to stand in support of women who were being victimized by men in Hollywood, and then by extension SUPPORT all women everywhere who were being taken advantage of by powerful men?
Well I hate to tell you but…
TRANS WOMEN STILL ARE OR ONCE WERE MEN, so where’s the #MeToo movement for the many many females being cancelled or professionally “raped” by them?
The young girls who are being forced by schools to share locker rooms with boys in skirts who still have male genitalia.
The female athletes who are losing trophies and competition slots/opportunities to men pretending to be women.
The women being physically injured in sports competitions against biological males.
Where’s the #MeToo for Riley Gaines who was PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED, CHASED INTO A ROOM AND HELD HOSTAGE by a man in a dress - AND NO DEMOCRAT LEADER HAS CONDEMNED THIS BEHAVIOR?
The sad thing about all of this is that it will inevitably make things WORSE for the real Trans Community - the ones who did it not for social media credit but because they actually wanted to make lives for themselves while being the opposite sex.
FUN FACT: YOU CANT GASLIGHT PEOPLE INTO RESPECTING YOU.
You still in 2023 have to earn it, and forcing yourselves on women and girls is not the way to get it.
Rioting and protesting is not the way to get it.
PHYSICALLY ATTACKING WOMEN is not the way to get it.
They like to say “Trans Rights are Human Rights” but none of us have the right to hurt people who disagree with us.
And I believe the day is coming when these violent TRANS activists will have their comeuppance.
Not because of sexism or transphobia, but because transgenderism is UNNATURAL, and Mother Nature will always push back.
So men, stand up for the women in your life when they need it, and let’s watch and wait as the culture inevitably rolls over this despicable movement.
God Bless America 🇺🇸
This was something that hit hard. Biden’s administration was completely content to let Americans die and be left behind. The equipment was left so they could use them to kill. SAD
