Republican Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka is no fan of Mitch McConnell. In a bold move, the Trump-endorsed Republican challenger said if elected she would not support Mitch McConnell as the leader of the Republican Party.
The Washington Examiner reports:
“Mitch McConnell has repeatedly bailed out Joe Biden, giving him gifts of Senate votes, which are the only things keeping the Biden administration on life support,” Tshibaka said in a statement. “As an example, after rescuing Biden with the last debt ceiling increase, McConnell said he would never do it again. But he just did, and he had Lisa Murkowski’s help in doing so.”
She said this kind of backtracking is why she wants to replace Murkowski and that, in her view, lukewarm Republicans are “the political elites pitted against real Americans.”
Tshibaka called the two senators Biden’s “enabling officers” for supporting his “business busting, common sense canceling, defense decimating, energy annihilating, gun grabbing, illegal immigrant inviting, liberty loathing, parent punishing, socialist supporting” agenda.
Former President Donald Trump, who has been at odds with McConnell since his departure from the Oval Office in January, promoted Tshibaka’s statement through his Save America political action committee.
Tshibaka, who is running to unseat Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, has already secured top endorsements from Republicans and organizations like Emily’s List over incumbent Murkowski.
