"I'm not sympathetic to Murkowski’s plight. I don’t empathize when she laments the difficulty of her vote. What she did wasn't difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you didn’t actually do the hard thing. If Murkowski wants sympathy, she should try doing something to earn it."
