Klobuchar 'very disappointed' in Murkowski over 'big, beautiful bill' support

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) is criticizing Sen. Lisa Murkowski for the Alaska Republican’s decisive vote to advance the GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” last week.

“I was very disappointed, putting it mildly,” Klobuchar told MSNBC host Jen Psaki.

Klobuchar also attacked a provision in the bill that will delay federal cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for states with high payment error rates, which includes Alaska.

“They wanted to get rid of waste, fraud and abuse? They’re actually encouraging it,” she said. “If I’m a governor in a state, I’m like, ‘get my error rate up,’ because it could save me a billion dollars a year on a state budget.”

Why would any Democrat believe any Republican about anything? Is Amy really that naive?

2. Murkykowski could have been a hero in history, but she's a GD enabler who just codified fascism into law.

She said she was skeeeeerrrrrrd of Shitler's retribution. Pardon my French, but she can eat a bag of unsalted dicks and choke.

3. She could have had a vote like McCain had, but..

She’s spineless and actually quite “conservative”.

4. If you didn't know she was going to vote for it all along...

you might want to ask yourself some questions.

5. Actually if Tillis hadn't done so

I think she would have.

[Autumn]

9. Actually she's a fucking Republican. I'm positive she was going to vote for it all along.

10. No if she could have voted against without killing it

she would have. Tillis' opposition, and his actually sticking with it, was not expected. Once that happened one of Collins and Murkowski had to take one for the team and she was the one who wasn't up this cycle.

11. I would rot in hell before I give any republican the benefit of the doubt.

6. Someone needs to sit down with her and gently explain

that Lisa is not her friend, she just pretends to be and not even very well.

7. Collins and Murkowski have this bit of performance art down so well...

...they should have a showing in a gallery somewhere. I appreciate what they did for the ACA, but for every time they do the good thing, there's ten times when they hem, haw, and tease, and fall in line. They could be the two most important people in a party full of weaklings if they chose, but they're just as weaselly and feckless as the rest of their caucus. Whatever you may think of her, Republicans have never had a badass like Nancy Pelosi, and likely never will.

8. Thank you Sen Klobuchar for speaking out against the criminal Trump machine!!

12. Why are you putting it mildly, Amy?

13. Exactlly. That's my question, too!
