Susan Collins fires back at opponents over 'very sexist' campaign attacks: 'I've never been more offended'
Maine Republican decries 'false,' 'insulting' ad unveiled last week by anti-Trump Lincoln Project


Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, fired back at her political opponents Thursday, telling Fox News Radio's "Guy Benson Show," that she has "never been more offended by attacks as I have been from the left in this campaign."

Collins reserved particular wrath for an ad from The Lincoln Project, a group of onetime Republican political consultants, that hit the airwaves last week and labeled her a "Trump Stooge and a "fraud" whose "voice" is controlled by President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Susan, I'm sure we're all very concerned for your feelings, we'll think long and hard about them, and I'm absolutely certain that all the voters in Maine will have your best interest in mind when they cast their ballot.

BUH BYE SUSAN.

Could it be because the Lincoln Project exposed the real you...a fraud?..Could it be your Kavanaugh yes-vote has come back to bite you on your worrisome ass?..Could it be phony independent Susie is nothing more than an apathetic fall-in-line GOP hack like all the other apathetic GOP hacks? don't ya just love c-span???.....I'm betting the image of your head so far up Trump's fat ass you can taste the Big Macs is somewhat disturbing..am I right? ..it certainly is for your constituents.....Oh, that questioning-your-integrity thing you find so concerning.....not a problem...you don't have any...now go away...

She is so use to being treated like she’s special that she doesn’t know how to handle a real campaign.

"Offended"--is that a step up from "concerned"? DefCon2, maybe? Maybe she has learned a lesson from this....

A Republican from Maine who opposed McCarthyism. Collins is just pissed off that she can't compare to an earlier female Maine Republican. So she's decided to call that "sexist".

She looks like a Karen who's about to report some kids for just hanging out in a way that she finds concerning. She's calling the Watch Commander next if the lights and sirens don't appear instantly.

Remember, she voted for Kavanaugh because it was "the right thing" to do.

So the Republican-helmed "Lincoln Project" is now considered "the left"?

That shows just how far into the lunatic fringe right the GOP has gone.

....but then votes to confirm Kanavaugh and votes to acquit Trump, irony.

Voting for what you think is right, is important.....but you are also supposed to represent your constituents.
