(I read that on the Internet).

Seriously, why would you give a minutes attention to a social media poster you've never heard of asserting something with no citations?

But if the “high ranking Republican officials” aren’t currently holding office, such as Senator, Governor, or Representative, it’s not going to mean much.

1) Google the claim.

2) Read the Tweet or Article or whatever and look for a source...



If the headline fails both attempts, it's probably nonsense. But that's pretty common nowadays, as these content creators are simply producing catnip... clickbait for people to consume, making the creator money...

It's sad but it's a case of making money off of gullible people.

Is this just referring to Murkowski?

No substance to this tweet.
