Backfire: Frequent Defector Lisa Murkowski Says She Was "Offended" By Obese Jerry Nadler's Claim That Anyone Voting Against Their Demanded Rules-Changes Was Engaged in a "Cover Up"

She voted against those rules changes, and Nadler -- who needs her vote later on -- claimed she was engaged in a "cover up" for doing so.

The Democrats still all think that their Blue Checkmark Twitter Bubble is real life.

House Democrats' handling of the Trump impeachment to date may be turning off Republicans -- notably, those seen as possible defectors in a final vote.

The first sign of a backlash among that critical group came Wednesday when Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, a moderate member of the conference, said she was offended by House manager Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s assertion that GOP members voting against allowing new testimony and evidence were engaged in a "cover-up."

"I took it as offensive," she told reporters Wednesday. "As one who is listening attentively and working hard to get to a fair process, I was offended."

Nadler's opening statement, which led to U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts admonishing those in the chamber, accused Republican senators of "voting for a cover-up, voting to deny witnesses, an absolutely indefensible vote, obviously a treacherous vote."

Meanwhile, Trump is trolling Adam Schiff:

One thing: The neck isn't pencil-like enough.
