Sen. Lisa Murkowski responded on Tuesday to the announcement of new indictments from a Washington, D.C. grand jury against former President Donald Trump relating to his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, which the jurors said led to a riotous situation at the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
Acknowledging that she voted to convict him during one of his impeachment trials, Murkowski used X (Twitter) to explain how she feels about the indictment:

"In early 2021, I voted to impeach former President Trump based on clear evidence that he attempted to overturn the 2020 election after losing it. Additional evidence presented since then, including by the January 6 Commission, has only reinforced that the former President played a key role in instigating the riots, resulting in physical violence and desecration of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Today, the former President has been indicted on four criminal counts. Like all Americans, he is innocent until proven guilty and will have his day in court. s that process begins, I encourage everyone to read the indictment, to understand the very serious allegations being made in this case," Murkowski wrote.
X users were not especially charitable toward the senior senator from Alaska. There were well over 3,000 responses to her statement by 11 pm Alaska time on Tuesday.
"We already know you're a communist!! You didn't need to tweet it!!!" posted one person on X. "I sincerely hope your constituents vote to impeach you Madam," wrote another. The bashing and venting went on and on throughout the day on Tuesday.

What this somewhat minor article, in terms of news importance, shows us is just how fucked up the MAGA mindset is. As all this goes forward the deranged view that Trump supporters have of these facts will be a constant.
COMMUNIST !
If you want to see Trump face justice you are a communist !
I feel very confident in stating that most of those on twitter, and on Fox News for that matter, that are attacking these indictments couldnt talk about their actual content for more than 10 seconds.
Senator Murkowski is no communist. Hell! She grew up next door to the Soviet Union! If the Cold War had turned hot, Alaska would probably have been one of the first ones hit. Why do I say that? Clear AFS...early warning site
Lisa has more backbone than many of the other Republicans combined. I've followed her career for some time and she has been a moderate and concerned about the people of Alaska. She is tough, remember when she won her election as a senator as a ''write in candidate''..
I also admire this senator. She is one of a declining pool in either Party that has integrity and puts country over Party.
