Lisa Murkowski's Facebook Page Flooded with Rape Threats and Accusations After ‘No’ Vote on Kavanaugh

By becoming the first — and possibly the only Republican senator — to announce a “no” vote on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) opened herself up to a firehose of disgusting comments and attacks on her and her family on her Facebook page.

Friday morning the independent-minded Alaskan senator announced she was unwilling to vote for the embattled Kavanaugh, saying “He’s not the right man for the court at this time.”

This set off deeply partisan conservative voters unwilling to believe any of the multiple accusations leveled at Kavanaugh, who then responded to her announcement in the vilest ways, including rape accusations.

Among the attackers was one man — Phil Davis — who wrote, “Lisa sexually assaulted me I have no evidence but trust me she did . I demand a fbi probe and that she be removed from office even if there is nothing to back up what I claim.”

Look below for some of the more appalling Facebook comments which appeared under a post where the Alaskan senator lamented a fatal helicopter crash in her state.
