(THUG)Trump threatens to isolate Alaska after Republican senator votes against Obamacare repeal bill

Donald Trump threatens to isolate Alaska after Republican senator votes against Obamacare repeal bill
Interior Secretary reportedly makes 'troubling' calls to senators after vote
Gabriel Samuels 3 hours ago

Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly threatened to isolate Alaska after a senator from the state voted against the President’s health care motion.

Senator Lisa Murkowski was one of seven Republicans who rejected the measure to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act, one of Mr Trump’s key policy pledges, during a vote on Tuesday.

The President reacted angrily to the news, writing on Twitter: “Senator Lisa Murkowski of the Great State of Alaska really let the Republicans, and our country, down yesterday. Too bad!”

Later in the day Ms Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, the other Republican senator for Alaska, allegedly received calls from the Department of the Interior warning them that the state’s future was now under consideration.

The messages, which came directly from the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, were “troubling”, Mr Sullivan told Alaska Dispatch News.

is that trump's hiding one or two things far worse than a hooker tape. And mitch. And that is all it is. Mitch is hiding something huge, and I can't wait til the day they drag that sorry POS, by his FACE, to prison. And then maybe a few more people will sleep peacefully at night.
