Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a moderate Republican, is facing backlash from Trump supporters following remarks she made at a recent townhall meeting.
Murkowski expressed anxiety about speaking out against President Trump’s policies, including tariffs, executive orders, and cuts to federal agencies, fearing political retaliation. “We are all afraid,” Murkowski said, describing the current political climate as unprecedented.
Her comments, captured on video, drew swift criticism from Trump supporters on social media, with some questioning her loyalty to the Republican Party. Murkowski, who has opposed several of Trump’s policies and voted to convict him in his second impeachment trial, is facing increased scrutiny as she navigates her stance within the GOP.
