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

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
