Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) for the Republican nomination, told<em> Breitbart News Saturday<\/em> that Republican elites like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Murkowski believe regular Americans are \u201cstupid\u201d and unaware that the lawmakers are advancing the Democrats\u2019 agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Tshibaka noted that President Biden would not be able to pursue his \u201cbusiness-busting, common-sense-canceling, defense-decimating, energy-annihilating, gun-grabbing, illegal-immigrant-inviting, liberty-loathing, mandate-marching, parent-punishing, socialist-supporting, America-obliterating radical agenda\u201d without their help.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>She referred to&nbsp;McConnell and Murkowski as Biden\u2019s enablers in Congress.&nbsp;Biden\u2019s agenda would be on life support, she added, if they were not backing it.<\/p>\n<p>Tshibaka made it clear she will not be supporting McConnell as Republican leader if she makes it into the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Mitch McConnell in leadership, we don\u2019t really need Democrats. He is a Democrat, and he\u2019s supporting the Democrats,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Tshibaka said McConnell has proved that America is not divided by Republicans and Democrats. Rather, it is divided by the \u201cpolitical elite and common-sense people\u201d who do not want bigger government or a left-wing climate change agenda that chooses the planet over people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMitch McConnell also thinks we\u2019re stupid, that we don\u2019t see that they\u2019re behind it all,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cThey\u2019re behind it all, and that\u2019s why Alaskans are expecting us to hold Mitch McConnell accountable.\u201d&nbsp;President Biden, she explained, has pursued an \u201canti-Alaska agenda\u201d since taking office, beginning his assault on day one.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>LISTEN:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>While she said there are some first America First leaders in Congress, naming Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY),&nbsp;Ron Johnson (R-WI), Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Josh Hawley (R-MO), she said there are also too many members of the political elite. Those are the same people, she said, who&nbsp;build a wall around the Capitol but not around the border, and support beefing up security for themselves but want to defund police.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThey pretend they are for us but they don\u2019t use the tools they have to actually defend and protect, and they could. And that\u2019s the point,\u201d she said, explaining they could use process tools to stand up for the people, but instead they act by \u201ccrime of omission,\u201d committing \u201cpolitical malpractice\u201d against the American people.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers are tasked to&nbsp;protect and defend the Constitution, she said, explaining that there are many tools outlined in the Constitution that they are not using.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s their fundamental job. When they don\u2019t do it, that\u2019s political malpractice, and we are the ones bearing the price for their popularity in Washington D.C. among the D.C. elite,\u201d she said, noting that Murkowski is \u201cmaking decisions that cause us to pay for her popularity up here in Alaska.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tshibaka noted that Murkowski stood as the deciding vote to get radical then-nominee&nbsp;Deb Haaland, secretary of the Interior, out of committee. \u201cShe said when she made the vote, \u2018I know this is going to hurt Alaska, but I\u2019m going to do it anyway,&#8217;\u201d Tshibaka said, noting that Murkowski set Haaland up for a confirmation vote on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s when I lost it,\u201d she said, noting that Alaska is paying the price, having to drop a ton of money fighting a lawyer in the Department of the Interior to preserve rights to their resources because of Murkowski\u2019s vote. She also noted that Murkowski approved of withdrawing from Afghanistan because she was so focused on setting up a January 6 commission to fight her vendetta against former President Donald Trump, whom the lawmaker voted to impeach.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cJust like Mitch McConnell, she thinks we\u2019re stupid,\u201d she said, predicting that Murkowski will be \u201cretiring in 2022 whether she realizes it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know Lisa is giving us a lot of rhetoric, but no results,\u201d she continued, noting Murkowski has offered a \u201cwhole lot of nothing\u201d as energy projects are not open and jobs are suffering in Alaska.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been promised a lot, and we don\u2019t have it and it\u2019s time for a change,\u201d she said, explaining that is why there is such mobilization behind her campaign. Tshibaka noted that the&nbsp;Alaska Republican Party has endorsed her, as has Trump. She leads in the polls and has raised four times as much money in the state than Murkowski.<\/p>\n<p>Rural Alaska is \u201cso mad\u201d at Murkowski, Tshibaka added, noting they \u201cstill have a year to go to pick up and continue this momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe we can do this and have new leadership for Alaska next year,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kelly Tshibaka, who is challenging longtime Senate incumbent Sen.
