Susan Collins Gets 'Six Figure' Payback From Dark Money Group After Voting 'Yes' On Kavanaugh

by Lance Perriman Oct 10, 2018

A “dark money” group that spent millions promoting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation effort announced on Tuesday that it’s rewarding Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) with a new “six-figure TV and digital ad campaign” in support of her re-election after she voted for Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

The group, Judicial Crisis Network, issued a press release expressing its gratitude to Collins for her “yes” vote.

“Thank you Susan Collins for thoughtfully reviewing Judge Kavanaugh’s judicial record and weighing the evidence, and for being a reasonable voice during this incredibly divisive time,” Carrie Severino, the group’s chief counsel and policy director, said.

I hope that for every ad bought be the Judicial Crisis Network (which aired those obnoxious "I am a woman and Kavanaugh is my ideal man" commercials on MSNBC all the time) there are 4 ads for her 2020 opponent.
