CNN’s Bash rattles Susan Collins by asking her if she ‘betrayed women’ by voting for Kavanaugh

I wonder what her hubby lobby got from Putin for her vote.

1. Then she's as ignorant as she is corrupt

[lark]

17. Nah, she's just a russian repug liar & profiteer.

She could care less but pretends to because that's been her fake persona for years and what she's sold to the deceived folks in Maine. She's out for profits and party and could give a shit about any woman unless it's politically expedient for her to believe a paid RW model lies. She's not happy that she had to out herself with this vote, but out herself as a traitor to women is exactly what she did. I really hate that harridan.

[Scubamatt]

20. Did I correctly read

that Collins jumped quickly on the bandwagon that Al Franken had to step down in the basis of an allegation? No investigation, no due process, no hearing? I hope the folks in Maine KEEP USING that name “Aunt Lydia” until it sticks. And it’s beyond time that are side starts calling out these liars and hypocrites for what they are.

[Salviati]

21. Indeed

7. If she was rattled by Bash's question during

a tv interview, imagine how she's going to feel when she's at an airport or a restaurant or in a store or other public place when stranger upon stranger approach her with true venom. It's often been said that votes have consequences. For the rest of her life she'll be reminded daily how true that is.

[OnDoutside]

18. Hopefully. If that happens, I reckon she'll do a Corker/Flake and save her campaign money.

[GemDigger]

8. Oh b-b-baby (Susan)

B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet

[2naSalit]

9. I hope

that a wickid stahm of democracy blows her out to sea.

[Paladin]

10. Yeah, well. Boo-Fucking-Hoo about Collins' feelings, at this point. (nt)

[in2herbs]

15. Agree.

[suegeo]

11. Why does she get to claim "no corroborating evidence" ?

There wasn't even a full investigation.

There was corroboration with Ramierez. The kav sexually assaulted her, She has witnesses.

The other accuser said she saw the kav grope women. Corroborating that the kav sexually assaulted many women.

Did anybody talk to the far right propaganda co-attacker, Mark Judge? He participated in the attack, ffs? Get him under oath.

What is in the records from all the years the kav was an attorney for the Bush crime family? That wife of his is also Bush crime family, ffs.

The kav used stolen information that came from Grassley aide Babs Ledeen, who is the wife of disgraced "scholar" and Iran Contra ifamy Mike ledeen. He (the kav) lacks ethics. Ledeen shouldn't be on the judiciary committee staff.

The kav also participated in witness tampering. For the past two or more months.

[JarOCats]

12. Good.

I hope she never has another restful night's sleep. I hope she tosses and turns, and is eaten alive by self-doubt, and the creeping certainty that her legacy will be joined to Trump's forever, with her betrayal pinpointing the moment it could no longer be denied that the republic was doomed.

I hope she is hounded out of every public establishment whose door she darkens. And then I hope the cycle starts all over again.

[Scarsdale]

14. I think she has

been promised a lucrative "job" after she steps down from politics. Maybe something like McConnell's beard - er - wife has as Sec. of Transportation. Any woman with a spine would have recognized the flaws in Kavenaugh. Susie just refuses to get out of line to the boys in the gop. As sturdy as a wet noodle. That is why she is their pin-up gal.

[MrsCoffee]

13. She knows what she did.

[bdamomma]

16. damn straight she does

how is she going to look at herself in the mirror.

she doesn't care I guess sad, she's going over the edge.

[dalton99a]

36. Of course.

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. Collins doesn't care, none of them do.

They are not like us. Stop trying to equate "normal" into the psyche or actions of a Rethuglican - it's not possible.

[Nasruddin]

22. Yes they do

Narcs like her always want to be adored for their insanely bad choices.
Learn from the spectacle of DJT, who puts it all out there.

[NoMoreRepugs]

28. Rational irrationality?

[Cousin Dupree]

24. Thoughts and prayers for any angst we may have caused you, Aunt Lydia

[octoberlib]

25. Collins doesn't give a shit.

[duforsure]

26. She'll regret each day the rest of her life

When people remind her how she hurt women and this country, and her conscience will remind her every night forever and she'll regret what she's done. All of the gop will have to face the American people , and answer to us all , especially this Nov. , and all future elections. She will not be looked upon well in the history books , and she can't change that now. She's going to get what she deserves, and they can whine all they want , she'll be yelled at, and treated harshly , and have to take it. The majority will never be on her side, and aren't now. If I were her I'd never eat in a restaurant again. I'd be too scared something was done to my food.

[SunSeeker]

27. I wish Bash had challenged Collins on her claim of no corroborating evidence.

That is a standard GOP talking point and it is dead wrong.

There are her conversations with her psychiatrist years ago. There are conversations attested to by her friends, family and others documenting that she identified Kavanaugh. There is Kavanaugh's own calendar that says there was a party on July 1, 1982, with the people Ford said were there. There is evidence that Kavanaugh was a heavy drinker. And could you imagine what more could have been uncovered if the White House did not restrain the FBI from doing an actual investigation? Online sleuths have already figured out where the house was that the July 1 party occurred, and its 2-story floor plan, which prevents those in the living room from seeing the stairs and entrance to the home (thus explaining why no one saw the upset Ford rushing out of the house after her assault on the 2nd floor). But most of all, Dr. Ford's credible testimony is itself EVIDENCE under the law. It is direct witness testimony, admissible in every court of law to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Any lawyer can tell you that.

[BeckyDem]

33. +1

[suegeo]

34. No corroborating evidence: It's a harmful lie

Why do the republicans go unchallenged on their lies.

There was corroborating evidence. As you lay out.

I'll add more:

Ramirez (sp?) said the Kav assaulted her at a party. She has witnesses. That the Kav tampered with. Witness tampering by a S.C justice seems like a big deal.

There is corroborating evidence that the Kav gets drunk, assaults women.

The other accuser said she saw the Kav groping and assaulting a woman (maybe women?) at a party.

He's a father. A husband. A son. Ugh.

He's also easily black-mailable drunk, who can be pressured into doing whatever the latest crime family to steal the white house wants.

[usaf-vet]

29. I would like to think that that is true. I hope it is and I hope she is reminded of it everyday...

..... for the rest of her cowardly miserable life.

She doesn't deserve any less. One NO vote and she could have retired with a place of honor in the history books of Americans.

But this is how most Americans will remember her.

[Baitball Blogger]

30. Time will show you how wrong you are, Collins.

You will be apologizing to all of us.

[Jake Stern]

31. Unlike Susan Collins

John McCain actually lived up to his "maverick" label from time to time.

[marieo1]

32. Betrayer of Women

Of course, she is a betrayer of women. Otherwise she would have insisted on a couple more weeks or a month just to investigate the accusations. I'd say she really doesn't give a damn. She is just as crooked as the rest of the repugs. I'll bet her nose is totally brown!!

[rurallib]

35. She trusted Trump and McConnell - she's a fucking idiot

[Vinca]

37. What pisses me off the most is her parroting the GOP line about believing Dr. Ford was attacked,

but being certain it was someone else and not Kavanaugh. This is not something people forget. How many men who were molested by priests can't recall which priest it was? My guess is zero. Women remember. If it's an unknown attacker they might only remember the face, but they would be able to pick them out of a line-up decades later. If there's a name attached to the face, it doesn't slip the mind over time.
