Susan Collins is already running scared from Susan Rice -- and deletes endorsement from her website

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is in a race for her political career, and she doesn’t even have an official opponent yet.

When rumors began to fly that Susan Rice, a former senior aide to President Barack Obama, had a home in the state and that her mother was born there, Collins was quick to attack.

According to CNN’s Manu Raju, Collins took a whack at Rice, saying she doesn’t really live in Maine and says Rice “pleaded with me” to introduce her during her confirmation hearings as UN ambassador.

That is for corporations and billionaires only!

Collins ignores free speech, her Franken hypocrisy, sexual assault facts regarding women, and what a real criminal trial would look like on the same show!

What is her point? Full time residence is more relevant than the fact she enables Trump?

...to establish residency. There is plenty of precedent for Susan Rice to do this, and no reason not to. I hope the people of Maine have the opportunity to get to know her.
