Mark Levin Okay, ill say it... 9 MINUTES AGO · PUBLIC Let’s stop pretending Susan Collins is a hero and her speech was Churchillian. Many of us were pleasantly surprised Collins did the right thing. Her speech painted Bret Kavanaugh as a bit of an activist. Let’s hope she’s wrong about that. But she came to the same conclusion as all Senate Republicans but Murkowski, i.e., Kavanaugh was the victim of a horrendous smear campaign. A sigh of relief she’s voting for his confirmation, yes. A hero, no.
Curmudgeon Oats for breakfast Mark? Can’t he just say thanks for a job well done and leave it at that?
That is insanely wrong!
“No” to Judge Kananaugh!
Yep. I have nothing to add...
I think it does a disservice to real heroes to throw her in with them. To quote a famous bad guy from The Incredibles, “When everybody’s super, nobody’s super.”
actually i kind of disagree. because she is associated with women’s issues, she is taking and will take a terrible pummeling. of course we all say you should stand up for what is right - but the level that demonstrators and critics have descended to is brutal. i know she is now in physical danger and being maligned in a most ugly way by former supporters across the aisle. she and Kavanaugh now have that in common. doing what is right will carry quite the price for her. i give her credit.
You believed her?!
Fox News won’t let it go. They’re acting like she made history but she just voted like everyone else except Murcowski.
Good speech, but not epic.
ALL Democrats should be held responsible for enabling such outrageous behavior, potentially threatening the lives of US Senators in their place of work.
Senator Collins is no hero, for sure. She's put herself in the position she's in by being pushed so far to the left. But this time? Mr. Levin should give her some credit. She finally said "enough is enough".
The focus should be on getting dem US Senators who are in Trump states out of office. Heitkamp and McCaskill, for sure, should go. They hate their voting fodder.
Collins speech was a brilliant team play by the GOP and Mitch McConnell. She was chosen to give the speech and as a team player she did. It cold cocked the left and by dragging out her answer for 45 minutes it made everyone listen.
Susan Collins - I have looked at the facts and will vote for Kavanaugh
Mindless people - cheers, celebrations, call her a hero
For doing her job?
When we have sunk so low as to celebrate Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins for doing their jobs, we have sunk pretty damn low!
Frankly, I agree with Mark. She did what she was sent to the Senate as a REPUBLICAN to do. Glad that she did the right thing.
I think she deserves credit for it, too. In fact, just this morning I read that a group of hags...er, mean, “feminists” was caravanning to Maine to harass her.
Susan Collins has been an attention grabbing pain throughout this pro as. Tgey say her speech was great.
Shut up and vote.
This is most likely just marketing on the part of Collins.
She was probably always going to vote for him but took advantage of the issue to get her name out there.
It’s sort of absurd on the face of it to have a speech for a cloture vote.
You missed the big picture.
Tell us all the big picture.
I’ve said all along that Kavenaugh’s saying roe v Wade is super precedent should have endeared him to the leftists as the best theyre likely to get from any Republican president.
It was part of the Republican master plan set up by mcconell.
