| Palin Threatens a Run for Murkowski's Seat |
| 2020-09-26 |
| [Daily Wire] Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin threatened to run a primary challenge against GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski for refusing to back a nominee to the Supreme Court before the 2020 election. No Palin pics in the vault? Palin posted a video to her Instagram account on Thursday addressed to Murkowski. In it, Palin is standing in front of her home in Alaska and says that she can "see 2022" from her house, a reference to when Murkowski is next up for reelection. "Lisa Murkowski, this is my house," Palin begins. "I’m willing to give it up ... for the greater good of this country and this great state." Palin tells Murkowski to "walk back" her position that the winner of the presidential election should nominate a Supreme Court justice to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Murkowski has already shifted away from her stated position on Sunday. On Tuesday, the Alaska Republican said she "can't confirm whether or not I can confirm a nominee when I don't know who the nominee is." Weasel.

| #10 Murkowski is Trunks need a strong conservative to start now, pulling in supporters and donors, and setting up not only for the primary, but for the General election as well. Have an ally start attacking and sliming Murkowski, continuously, immediately. |

| #9 I'm not calling for a bunch of Hooters waitresses to fill the halls of Congreß, Me neither - they're both nth degrees of uselessness. The only time I went into a Hooter's was in in Sarasota FL, and these not-so-hot (trainers from corporate are the hot ones; the local talent, not so much) morons ignored me for fifteen - twenty minutes (I may as well have been waving semaphore flags at the waitresses), and all I wanted was a freakin' beer or two and some wings. I've never left a 'restaurant' so fucking pissed off in my life... |

| #8 "can't confirm whether or not I can confirm a nominee when I don't know who the nominee is." This is an actual quote, not a parody. I hate it when people say "Wow, just wow" but wow, just...wow. |

| #7 Clem, a buch of Hooters waitresses would be a big improvement. |

| #6 Murkowski has been a cancerous growth on the Republican party for far too long. Whatever is wrong with the Alaska Republicans, fix it. Now. |

| #5 But geeezus x-mas, I'm not calling for a bunch of Hooters waitresses to fill the halls of Congreß, but we gotta get these old bags out of there. They're pathetic. |

| #4 And to think that scum bag McCain (and family?) snubbed Palin, his VP running mate. Well, we all knew GOP threw that race away, but that's beside the point. |

| #2 I'm not a Sawah fan, but I really can't remember the last pol from Alaska I was really excited about either. |
