Lisa Murkowski: Trump’s Approach Is ‘Don’t Get on Santa’s Naughty List Here Because We Will Primary You’

‘I think we’re getting a little bit of a preview now of what it is going to mean to be allegiant to party, and I don’t think that is going to help us as a Republican Party’

TRANSCRIPT:

MURKOWSKY: “The approach is going to be 'Everybody toe the line, everybody line up. We got you here, and if you want to survive, you better be good. Don’t get on Santa’s naughty list here because we will primary you.' I mean, we are seeing that play out in real time right now with the nominees. (...) My friend, Joni Ernst, who is probably one of the more conservative, principled Republican leaders in the Senate right now, is being hung out to dry for not going good enough, and you’re going to get primaried. (...) I think we’re getting a little bit of a preview now of what it is going to mean to be allegiant to party, and I don’t think that is going to help us as a Republican Party, believe it or not."
