Supporters of Donald Trump lashed out at Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska after she clarified on Sunday that she will not vote for whomever Donald Trump chooses to fill the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat on the Supreme Court -- calling her a traitor among other things.
On Sunday, the Alaska Republican issued a statement saying: "For weeks, I have stated that I would not support taking up a potential Supreme Court vacancy this close to the election. Sadly, what was then a hypothetical is now our reality, but my position has not changed ... the same standard must apply."
That did not sit well with the president's rabid followers who launched vicious attacks on her -- as well as Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) -- on Twitter. You can see a sampling below:
