Donald Trump threatens to isolate Alaska after Republican senator votes against Obamacare repeal billInterior Secretary reportedly makes 'troubling' calls to senators after vote
Gabriel Samuels 3 hours ago
Donald Trumps administration has reportedly threatened to isolate Alaska after a senator from the state voted against the Presidents health care motion.
Senator Lisa Murkowski was one of seven Republicans who rejected the measure to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act, one of Mr Trumps key policy pledges, during a vote on Tuesday.
The President reacted angrily to the news, writing on Twitter: Senator Lisa Murkowski of the Great State of Alaska really let the Republicans, and our country, down yesterday. Too bad!
Later in the day Ms Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, the other Republican senator for Alaska, allegedly received calls from the Department of the Interior warning them that the states future was now under consideration.
The messages, which came directly from the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, were troubling, Mr Sullivan told Alaska Dispatch News.

I'm sure the republican House and Senate backs Dumps threats 100%.
