Lisa Murkowski, Senator from Alaska:
"I have been challenged by some. I have been chastised by some ... from some very close friends who say 'you are silent, Lisa. Why haven't you fixed what we are seeing?' I have struggled with the right words. As a white woman born and raised in Alaska with a family that was privileged, I cannot feel that openness and rawness that I just heard expressed by my friends Cory and Kamala. I have not lived their life. I can listen, and I can educate myself, and I can try to be healer when we need to be healed."
