How, as a woman, an Alaskan, a veteran politician and a decent human being, can Sen. Lisa Murkowski stomach the corrupt, unethical and possibly treasonous actions of our president? Enabling a bully is being complicit with his acts. Our president is a bully.
I remember the terror inflicted by intimidation when I was young. All public schools have counselors trained to recognize and deal with predatory students. I hope that many more than these professionals recognize what is required — intervention or maybe impeachment. Selfish fears challenge our souls.
I ask Sen. Murkowski to please speak honestly, ignoring political threats and acting from her heart and soul. Lasting respect requires extraordinary courage. I expect no satisfaction from her fellow carpetbagger, but as she is a true Alaskan, I ask her to define this moment in history.
