RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski has admitted she is “afraid” of Donald Trump and fears speaking out against him.
During a town hall event in Alaska on Wednesday, Murkowski was asked by an audience member what she had to do for people who felt afraid of the Trump administration.
She responded:
We are all afraid. Okay? I’ve seen… We are in a time and a place where I don’t know—I certainly have not been here before.
I’ll tell you, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right. But that’s what you’ve asked me to do.
And so I’m going to use my voice to the best of my ability. Sometimes it will be viewed as confrontational.
Other times, I’ll draw on my mother’s charm that I learned as a young girl, and use direct communication with those I’ve built relationships with. I’m able to effect some change that way.
But I’ve got to figure out how I can do my best to help the many who are so anxious and so afraid.

Despite her apparent fear of the Trump administration and the risk of retribution, the Alaska Senator has already gone out her way to stymie his agenda.
During the confirmation hearings for Trump’s cabinet nominees, Murkowski voted against the nomination of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and FBI Director Kash Patel, meaning they were approved by the slimmest of margins.
Last month, she said that Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had left her feeling “sick to my stomach.”
“This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine,” she wrote on X after the exchange.
”It ends with a tense, shocking conversation in the Oval Office and whispers from the White House that they may try to end all U.S. support for Ukraine.”
”I know foreign policy is not for the faint of heart, but right now, I am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing Putin, a threat to democracy and U.S. values around the world,” she continued.
