GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski Says Trump’s Rhetoric Is ‘Poisoning Our Country’

[Lakhota]

The Alaska senator slammed the former president and 2024 candidate over "hateful" comments he made this weekend about migrants.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) on Wednesday roundly condemned former President Donald Trump for making xenophobic comments about migrants “poisoning the blood” of the U.S., a rare move in today’s Republican Party.

“With the exception of Alaska Natives and Native Peoples, most of us are daughters and sons of immigrants who came to this country to build a better life for themselves and their families,” Murkowski wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

“Legal immigration from people across the world is woven into the fabric of American exceptionalism, and comments from the former president couldn’t be further from the truth. This is more hateful, harmful rhetoric from Donald Trump that is poisoning our country,” the senator added.

Murkowski, who won reelection last year, has long been critical of Trump. She voted to convict the ex-president in his Senate impeachment trial following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol over his efforts to stay in power despite his loss in the 2020 election

Amen! I totally agree! What do you think?

He was speaking about Melania. They don't seem to be getting along.

 

[BackAgain]

Who cares? It’s nonsense.

 

[Votto]

What is poisoning the country?

How about 200 people dying a day from drugs coming across the border?

How about people taking vaccines that make them sick?

How about the nonsense from the Left about not being able to condemn genocidal attacks against Jews?

No you say?

Trump isn't he source of our problems, and getting rid of him won't resolve things. Democrats can't seem to get this through their heads.

Murkowski doesn't get it. She never has. She needs to retire before she makes an even bigger ass out of herself. MAGA

He's not the head. He's the tail. People have turned to Trump for a reason. That reason doesn't go away with Trump.

Try it. Cut your head off and we’ll find out if you die.

So you approve of Trump's fascist rhetoric?

Good for her. We need much more from them, but good for her.

But who will she endorse for POTUS when he gets the nomination?

Mafia Don, that's who.

 

[excalibur]

Biden is poisoning America with 8+ million illegals, who Democrats, if they have total power, will grant amnesty and fast-track to citizenship. Because Democrats hate America.

And it is hilarious how leftoids now embrace the Cheney family.

I quite agree with M'58.
"Poisoning the blood"..... is clearly a well recognized echo of Adolf Hitler.

Now, did Don Trump mean to fanboy Hitler?
I doubt it.
He doesn't seem to have a good grasp of history (witness, he had to ask his Chief of Staff General John Kelly what the memorial at the battleship Arizona was about).

He likely picked up 'poisoning' from some Rightfield-Fringie blogger who WAS fanboying Hitler....and intended to.
Nonetheless, it is numbskullery to say such a thing ...whether he knew it was a Hitlerism or not.

Leadership doesn't do that. Most especially leadership of a country such as America built....as Senator Murkowski alluded......largely by immigrants.

Interestingly Trump was talking about illegal aliens but Murkowski praised legal immigrants. Just shows that in her mind there is no difference. I believe this thinking is common in the GOP which is why they don't want to solve the border crisis any more than Democrats do. They just need to pretend to want to fix the problem to get votes.

The GOP isn't a snake.

It's a hydra.

With your stupid attacks, you are exposing more and more Vivek R., case in point.

But you keep at it.

Trump's speechwriter is supposedly Stephen Miller, who is about an awful a person as you will find. Full on Alt Right in a nice suit. In fact, I think that Trump is essentially his and Steve Bannon's willing ventriloquist's dummy. Trump mouths the words for the adoration, but it's people like Miller and Bannon who belong in 30's Europe.

The intellectually vacant Trump doesn't have the capacity to conjure up terms like "poisoning the blood" or "vermin", let alone use them in a sentence.

I think that Miller is now dropping terms and ideas like that into speeches to test the waters, and the waters appear to be just fine. Mostly because (a) a large part the base also belongs in 30's Europe as part of the adoring but manipulated crowd, and (b) most of the rest of the country just doesn't care any more.
