Myshockedface

Cowardly Republicans have never been about doing what is right for Americans USA and confirm why they should all be voted out along with Trump. VoteBiden to save America SundayMorning FoxNews CNN

Someone got ahold of her....

Surprise the Senator lied 🤥 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

Of course she did. She will follow other sheep right off the cliff of women's rights. I'm a middle class, middle-aged white man and even I get it.

What’s new. She will always give in. No back bone

I guess she doesn’t see what’s happening in her home state or in Colorado and Maine...

Does ANY republican have a spine, morals and a conscience

Just a little hypocritical

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Anyone surprised?

Hypocrisy at its best

How does rushing a *Lifetime Appointment to the Highest Court in the LAND* surpass the DIRE immediate needs of a Country creeping closer to 100k infections a day, in desperate need of the non-existent National Covid Relief Package?! ShameOnAllOfYou

You have time to reconsider, and you should. There is great strength in a willingness to take time and vote when it makes sense to vote...not under pressure. Americans are not in favor of placing a Justice on the Supreme Court at this time.

OMG! What a surprise.

I hope that nobody thought any different it always turns out this way👹👹👹

Because GOP & HYPOCRITES go hand-in-hand! Thanks lisamurkowski but it's time clean house & put a Stop to Hypocrisy in America! 😉 This (I) voter will not side with Conservatives until they put an end to Hypocrisy & Selfish tRump behavior! BidenHarris2020 he's not TWO FACED!

Vote her out

Liberals = 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Gutless!

And who thought different ?

Why am I not surprised

Hypocrite. She sold out

How much money did they pay her?

Why do you think that is? lol

Pussy

Threatened, she's scared!

We knew this was the outcome all along, Collins will announce hers next...

lisamurkowski What was your 30 pieces of silver for selling out 74% of the American public. I hope your reputation and integrity were worth it. The Republican Party will be DOA for decades. YOU are a co-conspirator in Trumps corruption. TrumpCrimeSyndicate RIPGOP2020

Trump give you some of his Kool aid

Coward...

It’s her future she just pissed away

Amazing... why?

So, when is she up for re-election?

I'm glad she finally woke up

She’s so disappointing.

Vote her out to. She stands for nothing. Talks a good game then she caves everytime. Stand up for what you believe.

Lisa Lisa Lisa

You expect anything else from the PartyOfLiars otherwise known as the GOP LindseyGrahamSC Lied senatemajldr Lied realDonaldTrump never stops Lying

lisamurkowski Weak - just weak

Spineless. Complicit. America will remember.

NO ONE can be surprised. As predictable as it gets.

Party over country all Republicans do it all the time

Can those in Alaska who have already voted for her change their votes?

FlipFlopSally splitting hairs is still voting against what America wants. Even Alaska. 70 percent of the country says she should not be seated. The next President should select.

Yeah yeah. Tell us something we didn’t know.

This is a LIFETIME appointment. WTH? Sell you soul to keep the base happy? Not cool. You are the worst of the worst. Boo. lisamurkowski

Packed the court

😡

I never even for a second thought a single republican would have principles or a backbone.

We Democrats need to expand the courts.

Another soulless republican. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FIR THESE LIARS!

OIC. Republicans know they will lose and are depending on their stacked courts with Trump loyalists to save Trump & them. Also, FKem all. FK their lying, cheating, voter suppressing, vote tossing, voter gerrymandering, USPS destroying ways.

OFC she is. What a spineless coward lisamurkowski is

She got paid!!!!

Alaska are you paying attention?

Coward and out of touch!

She didn't reverse course. She was on course the whole time, you guys just fall for her lip-biting pearl-clutching every time. If you've paid attention EVER, she always does this.

No surprise, wonder what the boys threatened her with? You know it’s sad the Republican Party is controlled by the dictator, not the constitution, not the law and most importantly the are not listening to the people the majority says wait not no but wait there’s no rush.

A real shocker🙄🙄

You have GOT to be kidding me.

Bitch!

👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽🦠😷

If you surprised by this you clearly have not been paying attention. There is not a single member of the GOP with a shred of integrity. We will demand the court be expanded to represent ALL of American, not just the extreme right.

Another two-faced lawmaker

Astonishing.

🤡🤡🤡🤡👋👋👋

She heard SarahPalinUSA walking up on her six so she got her mind right. Too late.

Of course. That’s what snakes do.

They’ve gotta loot while they can.

Maybe Susan Collins needs to look like she has a mind of her own and gets to be the Republicans’ token “no” vote.

A Democratic trifecta will now expand the court. Deal wirh it GOP! This is the bed you made and you will have to live with it.

Spineless!

Flip, flop......they all need to go. Don’t stand for anything!

TrueToForm VoteOutEveryRepublican

She was ALWAYS going to vote in lockstep...anyone who thought otherwise is just kidding themselves

Susan Collins will follow suit. Nothing new. Vote them out of office.

Of course she does! Shall I roll back my tweets!? Don’t be fooled by these Pieces of 💩. She and shaky Susan are morally bankrupt and devoid of anything we should expect from a leader. Vote this trick out lisamurkowski and SenatorCollins

Yes!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Typical GOP jellyfish, she only voted against Kavanaugh after she knew she had the political cover that he was going to be confirmed. She tries to act as if she is independent from Trumpism but she is like all the rest - COMPLICIT

She hasn't reversed course, the Senator was against moving the nomination forward. The Senator never indicated which way she would vote on the nominee.

Spineless lisamurkowski

I can't wait to leave this country. America cannot be saved.

Excellent news, congratulations on your decision senator Markowski

Chicken.

I said it few weeks ago , you can't count on these nitwits, Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Sasse & many others in that repugnant Party. The head of crime family owned all of them .

Of course she will

She's a Republican, of course her promises are worthless. See: Lindsey Graham.

The trump presidency has taught us that the president can do whatever he wants. And that all bets are off in both houses of Congress. Whatever the Democrats want to do is just fine.

See you later, in a food line

Alaska, are you listening? Time for the *itch to go...

I don’t know why everyone thinks that anyone of the Republican Senators has integrity...all should be cast out at a minimum or caned in public view for taking part in the attempt of the destruction of our democracy...no courage, complacent and anti-American...are we learning..,

Of course she did! Party above country! Well, Remember, Elections have consequences!

Spineless Murkowski as usual

Weak.

Why?

~ She has been in lock-step with 'Methodical Mitch', and voted in one unqualified judge, right after another. ~ If we win all 3 branches of government, after this election, we better increase the size of the Supreme Court, if we want too progress this Nation into the future. ~

Trump told her she didn’t have to pretend anymore that she had any ethics and a backbone.

What a big surprise! NOT!! She pulls this crap on every important issue. She’s always the last holdout. She and Collins are usually a tag team to see who’s going to be the last (wo)man standing!

Yup. All of them need to be voted out

Big fucking surprise.

VWHIPPIEMOM Cowards to the end. When is her term up?

gops lie. And this new judges seems pretty good at baring false witness at her hearing. 5

PLEASE RETWEET THIS TO EVERYONE DUMPTRUMP

Such a liar and a traitor to pro choice women every where.

She should support the female gender everywhere and pull Senator Collins across the line with her.

But what did she get in exchange

Coward

Susan Collins won’t be far behind.

Of course she did and so will Collins. vote

She will never redeem herself. Not with her friends, colleagues, or Americans.

These cult members are all a joke.

Another GOP bought and paid for COWARD.

Shameless

She is a disgrace to women.

Is anyone surprised by this? Collin's will be next.

If people want to point fingers and blame someone for an even more partisan supreme court, the things Trump has done and said since taking office, and the fact the Trump is in office, the Democrats who didn't vote for Hillary four years ago are the guilty party.

*pretends to be shocked*

wrong side of history. hopefully she has no female family members

Didn't Susan Collins say she wouldn't confirm anyone committed to overturning Roe v. Wade? Watch...

Least shocking flip-flop from Senator Murcuntski of all time
