ALASKA GOP Considering Whether To Throw Murkowski Out Of GOP For Opposing Kavanaugh

The Alaska Republican party has requested that Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) submit any information she has that might dissuade them from reprimanding her for opposing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

As AP reports, “Party Chairman Tuckerman Babcock says the committee could decide to issue a statement. Or he says it could withdraw support of Murkowski, encourage party officials to look for a replacement and ask that she not seek re-election as a Republican.”

Babcock noted that the Alaska GOP has, in the past, withdrawn support for other Republicans who caucused with Democrats.

Traitor? Really? A poor choice, yes, but tone down the rhetoric. You sound like a looney liberal.

I think it is dangerous to start throwing people out for not voting on party lines, there are more effective, less public and embarrassing ways for the party to make sure she is replaced. They both do it every primary cycle.
