Alaska Republicans CENSURE Mitch McConnell for attack ads against Kelly Tshibaka

by The Right Scoop

Mitch McConnell has now been censured by the Republican Party in Alaska after his Senate Leadership Fund attacked Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka.

McConnell backs all of his incumbents, which puts him in the questionable position of supporting Murkowski, who is essentially a Democrat.

Here’s more via Breitbart:

The Alaska Republican Party on Monday censured Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for attacking Senate Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka.

In recent months, the McConnell-backed Senate Leadership Fund had focused about $9 million against Tshibaka to protect 21-year incumbent and pro-impeachment Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who is in a very tight reelection race, recent polling shows.

The censure process began Friday and resulted in a 49-8 vote in favor of the resolution to censure McConnell and his financial war machine.

“That the Alaska Republican Party State Central Committee condemns the divisive and misleading statements from the Senate Leadership Fund and the inappropriate use of millions of dollars from the Senate Leadership Fund to oppose our endorsed candidate, Kelly Tshibaka,” the resolution in part read.

“Finally, be it resolved that we request the Senate Leadership Fund immediately stop the attack ads against Kelly Tshibaka and discontinue the support of all other opposing candidates,” in continued.

The censure of the top Senate Republican by the Alaska GOP is an extraordinary move that shows just how out of step McConnell is with American workers.

The censure comes as seven Alaskan Republican committees just last week issued a public rebuke of McConnell’s financial influence behind Murkowski. The names of the organizations opposing McConnell include Kenai Peninsula Republican Women of Alaska, District 26 Republican Committee, Mat-Su Republican Women’s Club, three affiliate groups of the Alaska Republican Party (6, 9, 30), and the Anchorage Republican Women’s Club.

If there’s one thing McConnell loves to do it is to attack conservatives in the name of moderates and RINOs. He has a long history of this and it appears the Alaska GOP has had enough.

I know Mark Levin has, who tweeted about this earlier today:
