Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has repeatedly betrayed the United States by undermining President Donald Trump’s efforts to reform a bloated and inefficient government, prioritizing her own political survival over the nation’s urgent need for change. From the outset of Trump’s first term, Murkowski showed her disloyalty by voting against the 2017 procedural motion to debate the repeal of Obamacare, a critical step toward dismantling a system Trump and his supporters viewed as a socialist overreach. Her vote, alongside fellow dissenter Susan Collins, nearly killed the effort, forcing Vice President Mike Pence to intervene with a tie-breaking vote. Murkowski cloaked her treachery in the guise of “bipartisanship” and concern for Alaska’s Medicaid funding, but her actions directly obstructed a reform that could have freed Americans from government overreach, revealing her allegiance to the establishment over the will of the people.
 

Her betrayal deepened as she consistently opposed Trump’s agenda, from personnel to policy, acting as a saboteur within her own party. In 2021, Murkowski voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial for the January 6 Capitol riot, aligning herself with Democrats in a blatant attempt to destroy the leader of her party and, by extension, the America First movement. Her 2025 vote against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s confirmation—requiring JD Vance to break a Senate tie—further demonstrated her willingness to weaken national security for personal gain. Murkowski’s attacks on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, were particularly egregious; she decried the program’s cuts to federal jobs in Alaska as lacking “decency,” ignoring the necessity of slashing a wasteful bureaucracy that burdens American taxpayers. By stalling DOGE’s mission to streamline government, she protected her state’s reliance on federal handouts at the expense of the nation’s fiscal health, a move that reeks of self-interest over patriotism.
 

Murkowski’s actions reveal a deeper disloyalty to American values, as she has openly flirted with abandoning the GOP and criticized Trump’s foreign policy, particularly his handling of Ukraine. Her 2025 condemnation of Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy—where she accused him of abandoning democratic allies for authoritarian figures like Putin—shows her willingness to undermine U.S. leadership on the global stage. By leveraging Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system to secure her 2022 reelection against Trump-backed Kelly Tshibaka, Murkowski has entrenched herself as a traitor within the Republican Party, using her Senate seat to block reforms that would strengthen America. Her consistent sabotage of Trump’s vision for a leaner, more efficient government and her alignment with globalist and establishment forces mark her as a betrayer of the United States, more concerned with her own power than the nation’s future.
