Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday for funding pro-impeachment Sen. Lisa Murkowski\u2019s (R-AK) reelection bid against challenger Kelly Tshibaka\u00a0with $9 million instead of other swing state candidates, like Republican Blake Masters in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">\u201cKelly Tshibaka is doing very well in Alaska, probably leading horrendously bad Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican (barely!),\u201d Trump stated in a press release. \u201cThe Democrat has no chance, and yet the Old Broken Crow, Mitchell McConnell, is authorizing $9 Million Dollars to be spent in order to beat a great Republican, Kelly, instead of $9 Million Dollars that could be used for Blake Masters, and other Republicans, that with this money would beat their Democrat opponent.
