WASHINGTON, July 17 (Reuters) - U.S. 共和国の/共和党の 上院議員 Lisa Murkowski 選ぶs her fights carefully with 大統領 Donald Trump, who won her home 明言する/公表する of Alaska in 2016 by nearly 15 百分率 points.

But there was little question in her mind about how to 答える/応じる when Trump on Sunday 開始する,打ち上げるd a Twitter attack on four 女性(の), 少数,小数派 Democratic 国会議員s in the U.S. 衆議院.

On the next day, Murkowski 解雇する/砲火/射撃d 支援する on Twitter: "There is no excuse for the 大統領,/社長's spiteful comments. They were 絶対 容認できない and this needs to stop."

Dozens of 共和国の/共和党のs in the 上院 and the House have 非難するd Trump, with 変化させるing degrees of 関心, about his tweet that the four congresswomen should "go 支援する" where they (機の)カム from. All four are U.S. 国民s and three were born in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs.

In 31 months as 大統領,/社長, Trump has laid 負かす/撃墜する an 広範囲にわたる 記録,記録的な/記録する of making his fellow 共和国の/共和党のs in 議会 squirm with 挑発的な tweets, news 会議/協議会 quips and 政策s, not to について言及する his affinity for some U.S. adversaries like North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump's Sunday tweets, and follow-ups this week 二塁打ing 負かす/撃墜する on them, went too far for the 独立した・無所属-minded Murkowski, who often 取り組むs 上院 論争s 長,率いる-on.

"I felt that the rhetoric had ratcheted to a level that is just 容認できない. And so when it gets to that point, I think there is a moment where you say that's enough," Murkowski said in a 簡潔な/要約する interview at the U.S. (ワシントンの)連邦議会議事堂.

While most 共和国の/共和党のs in 議会 shy away from 非難するing Trump, who is popular の中で 共和国の/共和党の 投票者s, his 最新の tweetstorm brought rebukes from at least 40 of the 250 共和国の/共和党のs serving in the House and 上院.

The Democratic-controlled House 投票(する)d on Tuesday to 正式に 非難する Trump's 発言/述べるs as "人種差別主義者."

OFTEN PREFERS SILENCE

Murkowski, who is not up for re-選挙 until 2022, said she had received mixed reviews from Alaskans about her 批評 of Trump. "I have people that call up, 重さを計る in 説: 'Good 見解(をとる). I'm glad you spoke up.' I have others that call in and say: 'Who are you to tell the 大統領,/社長 what he should and shouldn't say.'"

With a 近づく daily 一斉射撃,(質問などの)連発/ダム of tweets by Trump, Murkowski said that any comment on her part "evokes its own level of discussion" and that is why she often chooses to remain silent.

Murkowski said she did not know whether Trump's attack on Democratic 代表者/国会議員s Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaid and Ayanna Pressley would 損失 his standing の中で enough 投票者s to change the 半端物s of his re-選挙 in November 2020.

But one thing she is sure of: She said her 決定/判定勝ち(する) to speak out against Trump was her own and that 上院 共和国の/共和党の leadership did not tell 階級-and-とじ込み/提出する 上院議員s how to 扱う their 関係s with the unorthodox Trump.

"We didn't have a big sit-負かす/撃墜する" to discuss the 事柄, Murkowski said of her fellow 共和国の/共和党のs. "Everyone is left to 重さを計る in and say what they feel is appropriate or 不適切な," the three-称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語 上院議員 said of 上院 共和国の/共和党の leaders.
