RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski Comes Out Against the SAVE Act

President Trump wants to see the Senate pass the SAVE Act.

But Trump got the worst news ever.

That’s because a RINO sellout committed this awful act of betrayal on the SAVE Act.

As American Patriot Daily reports:

President Trump implored the Senate to pass the SAVE Act and send it to his desk for signature.

Trump declared he wouldn’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act was passed.

The SAVE Act eliminates election fraud by mandating voter ID and proof of citizenship, as well as banning mail-in ballots.

Trump argued this was essential to secure elections and to prevent Democrats from cheating their way to victory.

“It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED-DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

But the SAVE Act stalled in the Senate.

And it’s not because Democrats are filibustering the bill.

Alaska RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski announced her opposition to the bill and pronounced it dead on arrival in the Senate due to the inability of Republicans to secure 60 votes to break a filibuster.

“I’m not prepared to go down this uncertain and ill-defined path that we’re looking at,” Murkowski told reporters.

“He knows he doesn’t have the 60 votes, so it’s not going to pass,” Murkowski added.

Conservatives urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to force Democrats to stage a talking filibuster.

A talking filibuster allows Republicans to pass the SAVE Act with just 51 votes, after each Democrat has spoken twice.

But Thune shot down that plan in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier.

“Why are you convinced that a talking filibuster doesn’t work?” Baier asked

“We don’t have the votes. We don’t have 51 votes for that,” Thune added.

“Why are Republicans not going to force the issue?” Baier followed up.

“We’ve gamed this out. In the end, this is about having a debate,” Thune replied.

However, when Republicans held a vote to open debate on the SAVE Act, 51 Republicans voted in favor, with only RINO Murkowski in opposition.

Contrary to Thune’s claims, Republicans have 51 votes for the SAVE Act.

Thune is either lying to cover up for the fact that some RINOs only vote yes because they didn’t want to be seen as opposing debate on the SAVE Act, and are secret no votes when it counts.

Or Thune and his fellow RINOs just don’t want to show up for work to grind down Democrat opposition by forcing them to hold the floor for a talking filibuster.
