@nowthisimpact: Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was recently asked about J.D. Vance’s comment about the Democratic Party being run by a bunch of ‘cat ladies’ who were miserable with their lives. Murkowski did not mince words in her rebuke of her party’s VP nom, saying she found Vance’s comments to be ‘offensive’ and that it was no one else’s place to choose whether a woman had children or pets. Her comments also signal a much larger split between traditional GOPers and MAGA. As MAGA continues its hostile takeover of the party, many GOPers seem to be more Democratic than Republican. Yet, this is not due to a change of heart on their part, rather it is a sign of just how extreme and far-right the GOP has gotten under MAGA, leaving sensible Republicans with effectively no party to which to ascribe themselves.
