Murkowski (R-Alaska) refrained from calling out President Trump directly or elaborating more specifically about what she’s nervous about, but stressed that the “retaliation is real.”
“We are all afraid,” Murkowski bluntly admitted to a summit of nonprofit leaders in Anchorage Monday when asked about what she tells people who are nervous.
After a pregnant pause, Murkowski added: “It’s quite a statement, but we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.”
The Alaska senator vowed that despite her fear, she is going to continue to “use my voice to the best of my ability,” whether it be confrontational or charming.
