Lisa Murkowski Says ‘We Are All Afraid’ Of Retaliation By Donald Trump \u2014Huffington Post<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
“I\u2019m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real. And that\u2019s not right,” the Alaska Republican senator said this week.<\/div>\n

JUST SAYING<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
BY RAUL HERNANDEZ<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
“We are all afraid,” Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski said<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"Then step aside. Either lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This isn\u2019t the jungle in Vietnam where 18-year-olds bled out on foreign soil defending the idea of a free America. You\u2019re not dodging bullets\u2014you\u2019re dodging responsibility.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You’re sitting in a cushy Senate seat, paid handsomely by taxpayers, yet you cower before a wannabe tyrant with the moral compass of a sewer rat. If fear is what guides your votes and your silence, then you\u2019re not a leader\u2014you\u2019re a political ghost.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Constitution wasn\u2019t written to be shredded by cowards too timid to confront a two-bit mob boss cosplaying as president. Trump is a thug with delusions of dictatorship, and you\u2019re letting him drag the country into the dirt because you\u2019re \u201cafraid\u201d?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Grow a spine or get out. The wrath of the American people is coming in 2026, and no amount of groveling will save the enablers.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If you can\u2019t do your job with courage, then resign\u2014before you help bury the Republic.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
