Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, criticized President Trump for firing State Department Inspector General Steve Linick on Saturday. Collins' comments come as she faces her own criticism from both Democrat and Republican voters in an election year. ... “The President has not provided the kind of justification for the removal of IG Linick required by this law,” she tweeted. “I have long been a strong advocate for the Inspectors General. They are vital partners in Congress’s effort to identify inefficient or ineffective government programs and to root out fraud and other wrongdoing.”Collins is a sterling example of a gutless wonder. She's more than willing to flap her gums about things that supposedly disquiet her, but when push comes to shove, when it comes time to actually take a stand on the stupid shit that Trump and his coterie of clowns have done, she's as much an unapologetic ass-kisser as Lindsey Graham.
Oh, she might feel bad about it, and she'll wring her hands in public, but then she willingly joins the queue to give Trump a hummer.
She's made it her "brand" to be "moderate" and "centrist" but all she really ever has been is a goddamn Republican. Why anyone buys her "Lucy with the football" act can only be down to the way the media, that really wants there to be moderate, centrist, Republicans, covers her.

You need to understand that her and trump's tax policies saved her constituents millions and billions of dollars. But as with all these grifter GOP chislers she sees her constituents as her rich donars, not the voters, who got nothing from her or trump.
ReplyDeleteBut count on her to get the vapors and clutch her pearls and call for civility. It's a shame, really, she'll quaver. But don't both sides do it. Like a common Chuck Todd.
She's a lying hypocrite.
