Senator Lisa Murkowski is facing renewed backlash from Trump supporters after expressing fear of political retaliation for criticizing Donald Trump’s policies.
Speaking at a summit, Murkowski admitted feeling anxious about opposing Trump’s tariffs and executive actions, saying, “retaliation is real.” Her remarks were captured in a video shared by the Anchorage Daily News.
As one of the few Republican senators to vote for Trump’s impeachment, Murkowski has drawn criticism from conservatives. Social media users called her “shameful” and questioned her loyalty to the GOP.
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance defended Trump’s trade agenda during a visit to India, highlighting progress on a U.S.-India trade deal. He rejected criticism of Trump’s tariff policies and emphasized their goal of strengthening U.S. manufacturing and building strong international partnerships.
