WASHINGTON (AA) - Climate activists from the Climate Defiance group disrupted an event this week featuring US Senator Lisa Murkowski.

"We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us," the group said on X.

The Republican senator, who represents the state of Alaska, was giving a speech late Wednesday at the Bryce Harlow Foundation’s awards ceremony.

"Murkowski brands herself as a moderate but in truth she is an ecocidal pyromaniac. She fought tooth and nail to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to big oil. Is nothing sacred? Is nothing sacred?" said the group in another post.

According to a report, the senator finished giving her speech after the protestors were removed.
