Alaska GOP Votes to Censure McConnell for ‘Malicious Attack’ against Trump-Backed Candidate

Alaska’s Republican Party has voted to censure Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY) for backing a series of attack ads against Trump-endorsed Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka.

This from slaynews.com.

President Donald Trump is backing Tshibaka against incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (RINO-AK).

The resolution reads:

Much of the financial support from the Senate Leadership Fund has been used for malicious political attack ads targeted at our endorsed candidate, Kelly Tshibaka, that are gross distortions of fact.

We request the Senate Leadership Fund immediately stop the attack ads against Kelly Tshibaka and discontinue the support of all other opposing candidates.

According to The Hill:

The resolution passed by a 49-8 vote,

According to FactCheck.org:

[S]ome of the ads aired in the race have been misleading, including one saying Tshibaka wants to ban birth control by mail.

Tshibaka said at the time:

Let’s address the biggest lie first – her outrageous claim that I support banning the sale of birth control pills through the mail.

I and members of my family are among the millions of American women who have taken birth control pills.

I do not support restricting their sale through the mail or otherwise.

Investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in an ad campaign will not change that fact.

The deceptive ads rely on video taken out of context from one of my many town halls, when I was answering questions about abortion and other topics.

Pills that induce abortions should not be confused with regular birth control pills that prevent pregnancies.

Tshibaka said Monday:

The millions of dollars Mitch McConnell is spending on lies about me could be put to better use in other states where a Republican has a chance to beat a Democrat.

And the Alaska Republican Party has just told him to butt out of our state.

Tshibaka added:

Lisa Murkowski cares more about her standing in D.C. social circles than she does about the people in Alaska she’s supposed to represent.

Final thought: McConnell has been censured by the Alaska Republican Party with a 49-8 vote. In other words, ‘Shut up, Mitch. Your political career has nearly reached its end. Time for you to resign your seat and your elected office. Write your worthless falsified memoirs and move to Communist China.’

When the forthcoming extensive investigations are eventually completed, what will they have discovered about you and China? You have the right to remain silent. Please do beginning now.
