Looking for 'bottom'

Concerning the impeachment trial, I was amazed by Lisa Murkowski's speech to the Senate. She stated how the president pursued his own interests above our country and confirmed that the Ukraine scandal occurred. Later she mentioned that both parties were culpable for pursuing partisan positions.

The Democrats patiently and comprehensively presented the facts. A number of Republicans confirmed that a quid pro quo had occurred, while other indisputable information revealed that a number of Republicans had lied. Justice was also obstructed as Republicans voted against presenting additional relevant witness and looking through important information that could have shown other lies.

The idea Murkowski proposes that "the Democrats' foundation was rotten" is nonsense.

Near the end of her rant she stated, "It's my hope that we finally found bottom." Her statement is ridiculous. Given that Murkowski knew that Trump defied the Constitution, weakened our global position and allowed Ukraine's soldiers to die because of our failure to immediately provide defense funding, her perspective is perverted.
