I never cared much for Susan Collins until now



quote:

On Monday afternoon, moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins (ME) ripped into Democratic leadership for delaying a bipartisan coronavirus stimulus package directed to ease the pain of Americans affected by nationwide precautions taken against the virus.

Collins called the delay “disgraceful,” outlining conversations she’s had with “mom and pop” small business owners from Maine who’ve conveyed that the relief is urgent.

“Unbelievably, the Democratic leader objected to my even being able to speak this morning,” Collins started in, directing her fury at Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “Is that what we’ve come to? The Democratic leader objected to our convening at nine o’clock this morning so that we could being working in earnest? Is that what we’ve come to?”

According to CNN reporter Kristin Wilson, Collins, at one point, walked across the aisle to Schumer’s seat, “pointed her finger at his face and said ‘You are objecting to my speaking? This is appalling!!'”

“Frayed nerves and tension on the senate floor. Sen. Tom Cotton at one point yelled ‘this is bulls***’ twice. Sen. Collins got in Sen. Schumer’s face. And they figured on those voice votes on the fly,” Wilson reported Monday, adding that “Collins stood up, walked thru her row, across aisle to his seat, stood w/in one foot (maybe less, being conservative) pointed her finger at his face repeatedly and said ‘You are objecting to my speaking? This is appalling!!’ (Still pointing, leaning in as she pointed.)”

Dem voters are responsible for this.

Schumer is trash on many levels. He took Anthony Weiner under his wing, and brought him into politics.

Is this the equivalent of a "Come at me bro"?

So, maybe Collins is one less RINO vote Schumer can count on?
Hope so

Yet they probably had drinks together afterwards.

I much prefer what Susan Collins has to say written in text. I can't stand her speaking style. She talks like a 5 year old.

She has to do a hell of a lot more to even approach "good side" status with me...

Now, if she had bitch slapped Schumer, I would have forgiven all the bullshite she has pulled in the past....

I would imagine so. This is going to bite Democrats in the arse not only with moderates on Capitol Hill, but also with moderates on Main Street USA.

They are truly their own undoing. It's staggering to watch how completely out of touch they've been in the last 6 months with impeachment and now blocking aid to Americans.

It's unconscionable and unforgivable.

Can we quarantine Chuck and Nancy in nice little closet somewhere in the capitol basement (hogtied if necessary) so we can move this along.

You mean to tell me that Parkinsons Mary Poppins is only now coming to the realization that Schumer is a POS?

I wish someone would break every bone in Schumer's face with a fricking tire iron.

This is pretty consistent with how the turtle runs the Senate anyway
