Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, suggested that she might want to leave the Republican Party.
During an interview with CNN’s chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju on March 24, he asked her how Murkowski felt about Trump calling January 6 prisoners “hostages.”
“I don’t think that it can be defended,” she responded.
“What happened on January 6 was an effort by people who stormed the building in an effort to stop an election certification of an election,” she added. “It can’t be defended.”
“I wish that – that as Republicans, we had a – we had a nominee that I could get behind,” the Alaska senator stated. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”
“Are you considering being an independent at this point,” Raju then asked Murkowski.

Updated with latest attendees, livestream link: President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, will attend Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, underscoring how one of the biggest social nights of the year for Beltway media and politicos has lasted despite predictions of its demise.
The sold-out event at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night also is expected to draw celebrities and other notables, with attendees scheduled to include John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, as well as the Tennessee state lawmakers who were ousted, then reinstated, for their protest over gun violence. Roy Wood Jr., correspondent for The Daily Show, will headline the event. He will follow Biden’s stand-up material — and given the media events of the week, there will be plenty of material.

Jimmy Kimmel isn’t just a TV host. As the last few weeks made evident, he’s a broadcaster.
A true broadcaster is a master of communication, someone who reaches a wide audience and can be trusted for the information they need. And unlike other late-night TV stars, Kimmel didn’t rise through the ranks of acting or stand-up comedy; he honed his skills as a radio personality. A much more intimate medium, radio was the place where personalities formed direct bonds with listeners long before social media.
The power of the “fifth estate” has waned in recent years — but Kimmel clearly never forgot the importance of the public airwaves. He’s fulfilling the classic role of broadcaster as a guide in a time of crisis. When ABC launched “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2003, “nation’s moral conscience” presumably wasn’t part of the content strategy. But after nearly 15 years, he...

Politics are polarizing, especially when celebrities are involved. Compared to late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel's eponymous show had been less critical of the current administration (though he's never been afraid to make fun of President Donald Trump or members of his inner circle). But it became impossible to avoid discussing political matters after Kimmel's son was born with a rare congenital heart condition in May. At the time, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) saw an opportunity and appeared on various cable TV news shows. With any new healthcare proposal, Cassidy said he would ask, "Does it pass the Jimmy Kimmel Test? Would a child born with congenital heart disease be able to get...

"I never imagined I would get involved in something like this, this is not my area of expertise."
Despite the 49-year-old comedian’s concession during the first of three monologues this week calling out Senator Bill Cassidy for what Kimmel believes are broken promises of the Cassidy-coined “Jimmy Kimmel Test” in the proposed Graham-Cassidy healthcare bill, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host has become an unlikely leading voice in the fight to save the Affordable Care Act.
While Cassidy himself and proponents of the bill argue that Kimmel misrepresents what it actually does, many healthcare analysts have come to the comedian’s defense, stating that he paints a more accurate picture of what the bill could do.

In May, Cassidy appeared on Kimmel and promised that any new health care legislation would have to pass what he dubbed "The Jimmy Kimmel Test" and provide certain protections, such as bans on lifetime caps and rate hikes due to pre-existing conditions. However, Cassidy's new bill, written with Senator Lindsey Graham, allows states to regulate these issues, and on Tuesday, Kimmel accused Cassidy of lying to his face.
