Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski said she is struggling to decide whether she can support Trump's re-election bid, saying criticism of the president’s response to nationwide protests by former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis rang true

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski said on Thursday she is struggling to decide whether she can support President Donald Trump’s re-election bid, saying criticism of Trump’s response to nationwide protests by former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis rang true.

Murkowski, who did not support Trump in 2016, praised the comments by former Pentagon chief Mattis, who accused Trump on Wednesday of trying to divide America and roundly denounced a militarization of the U.S. response to civil unrest. Another Republican, Senator Mitt Romney, also praised Mattis, saying his words were “stunning and powerful.” But while several other Republican senators said they respected Mattis, they shrugged at his criticisms.

Well she might be struggling, but at election time . The voters might not struggle, were to put the cross, on the ballot paper?

Pathetic

So how many rubles will it take to get her back on trump's crazy train She blew her credibility with the impeachment!!!!

If she is struggling, then she is not mentally fit for the job....this is easy right or wrong

Not a fan of The president either but unfortunately we can’t let the liberals win

Yeah, ‘cause people in Alaska would support the looting and shananigans. She never represents her people well.

So after 3 years of supporting pure evil, now she is starting to get a conscious.....give me a break! Vote them all out!

she hasn’t supported anything the republicans have fought for ...so this is no shocker!

I have never made any important decision in my life by asking myself, “what would senator Murkowsky do?

She is having a CYA. Moment

America is going to hell under Trump! He should step down or he should be removed.

What presidents reponse The governors DID NOT WANT the Presidents help and the Mayors of the cities told their Police to stand down... This was all a ruse by the Democratic party

Joe Biden is a murderer. He will murder America and set us back 11 years and worse

What about the right to kill black business owners during riots to get free stuff?

Stop it!

It’s funny how the republicans cry about trump being blamed for everything when McConnell literally said their only goal was to make Obama a one term president and pretty much criticized everything he did, even going as far as to say taking selfies was not presidential. Cry more

ICHEOKU says crap. Alaska will not turn blue regardless.

We will see what the people of her state have to say about that.

lisamurkowski wtf is she struggling with, the Trump administration is calling peaceful protesters terrorist

Then you haven’t been paying attention! I have been paying very close attention! President Trump 🇺🇸 can’t do anything right!!! So that can be the only reason I feel your struggling with this decision Senator Murkowski!

Oh lisamurkowski , if you’re struggling with this decision, then you have NO BUSINESS being in the Senate. It’s a no brainer. If you choose to support him, you need to resign. Immediately BunkerBoy

Ohhhhhhh puuuullleeeeaaasssee.

What ELSE does this narcissistic dictator have to do to convince you to not support a reelection bid?! Look at where we are?! Stop supporting him! 😠

She doesn’t give 2 shits about this country.

She will lose her seat.

I'll keep saying it, each time she's mentioned. She may be 'troubled', 'very concerned', or even '*deeply* troubled', but her words are hollow. Actions, in her case, are the only things that carry weight.

She sits on the fence vote her out Read and weep madam

That a woman, a Senator no less, has to 'struggle' to decide if she should vote for a career grifting, sexually-abusive misogynist who has no qualms gassing his own citizens and violating just about every ethical and legal provision of the Constitution is truly disturbing.

Struggling.....!? 🤔 shows where her priorities lie.

Highly doubtful

Trump is going to pay her off with favors, see his tweeter feed.

Senator Murkowski needs to follow her head and heart here. Trump will try to bully her into submission, just as he has all the other gutless wonders in the GOP (aside from MittRomney), but she should speak the truth. Maybe others will gain courage. (I’ve voted GOP for 30 yrs.)

The Mattis idea of a real commander in chief looks something like this, apparently ...

And the schizophrenia of the Republican Party continues.

She’s deep state RINO

Nobody cares if lisamurkowski supports realDonaldTrump’s reelection or not.

Just do the right thing. Don’t support him 👍

ChrisCuomo donlemon Didn't she align under the GOP to block the impeachment? Now it seems to be 'easier' to struggle.

lisamurkowski YOU’RE STRUGGLING?!?!? With ALL of the things, IN THE KAST WEEK ALONE....AND YOU’RE STRUGGLING WITH SUPPORTING realDonaldTrump ?!?!? REALLLY? Party BEFORE COUNTRY THATS A STRUGGLE? GOP senatemajldr VP LindseyGrahamSC tedcruz A STRUGGLE?!?!?

If there is ANY DOUBT in your mind lisamurkowski, you are a sad excuse for a human being and a delusionalbitch

She tries so hard to make an appearance that she is objective- but it continually shows how much a fraud she it

GOP's Sen. Lisa Murkowski says she's struggling with supporting TrumpAlaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski says she's 'struggling' over supporting Trump given his handling of the coronavirus and George Floyd crises. I’d say her morals are struggling. Perhaps she could speed up her thought process since Black people are being killed by the police, peaceful protesters are being fired upon & gasses & democracy teeters as she ponders I’m sure she’ll reach deep inside of herself and pull it out
