Trump sends threatening message to Murkowski over no vote on healthcare
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke called Murkowski and fellow Alaskan Sen. Dan Sullivan, both Republicans, on Wednesday, warning them that there could be problems for their state. Murkowski had recently traveled with Zinke on a trip to her state and the Arctic. He had promised her movement on a number of energy, mining, and infrastructure projects in Alaska that his agency oversees.
But now it appears those promises could be forfeited because she voted against a motion to begin debate on legislation to repeal Obamacare Tuesday.
Sullivan said Zinke's message was "troubling," according to the Alaska Dispatch News.
"I'm not going to go into the details, but I fear that the strong economic growth, pro-energy, pro-mining, pro-jobs and personnel from Alaska who are part of those policies are going to stop," the senator said.
-------------------------------
You don't vote how I tell you, I will make your state suffer.
Typical GOP tactic. Surprised they would use it on their own. That's something new.
Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says
Remember when Republicans were eager to hurt millions of Americans to get the Bush Tax cuts for the rich extended? Hilarious is that many of those unemployed were unemployed because Bush and the GOP crashed the economy. But don't worry. Republicans still managed to protect needy billionaires. So everything turned out fine as far as they are concerned.
