GOP senator ‘disturbed’ by McConnell’s impeachment stance
|
[NYPOST] GOP Sen. Cocaine Lisa Daddy, can I be a senator? Murkowski
... representing K Street ...
said in a new interview that she was "disturbed" over Mitch McConnell’s comment that he would work in "total coordination" with the White House during the upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate.
"And in fairness, when I heard that I was disturbed," Murkowski told KTUU, the NBC affiliate in Anchorage in her home state of Alaska.
"To me it means that we have to take that step back from being hand in glove with the defense, and so I heard what leader McConnell had said, I happened to think that that has further confused the process," she said during the interview, which aired Tuesday.
Democrats have slammed the Senate majority leader, calling on him to allow witnesses and asserting that his pro-President Trump stance won’t result in a fair trial.
Murkowski is one of only a handful of moderate Republican senators who might break from the party’s strong support of the president, though Trump was expected to survive his impeachment by the House, as two-thirds of the GOP-led upper chamber would have to agree to give him the boot.
Unlike pro-Trump colleagues, such as McConnell and Sen. Lindsey Graham
 ...soft-spoken senator from South Carolina, former best buddy of John Maverick McCain. Since McCain's demise, Graham has become more outspoken, more Republican and more of a supporter of President Trump. The speech he gave in support of Brett Kavanaugh was downright manly and really cheesed off the Dems...
who said they were ready to vote and don’t need to hear any witnesses, Murkowski said she would not "prejudge" the case against the president.
"For me to prejudge and say there’s nothing there, or on the other hand, ’he should be impeached yesterday,’ that’s wrong. In my view, that’s wrong," she said.
