Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” called Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) “a woman of strength and conscience.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Let’s turn to the state of the Republican Party. Your fellow Republican Senator Mitt Romney, who I believe is a friend of yours, he was booed by delegates at the Utah Republican Convention yesterday. What was your reaction when you saw the clip of the vote for him being booed and the close vote to censure him?”
Collins said, “I was appalled. Mitt Romney is an outstanding senator who served his state and our country well. We Republicans need to remember that we are united by fundamental principles such as a belief in personal responsibility, individual freedom, opportunity, free markets, a strong national defense.
Those are the principles that unite us. We are not a party that is led by just one person. There are many prominent upcoming younger men and women in our party who hold great promise for leading us. I think that all of us who abide by those principles should remember Ronald Reagan’s admonition to republicans that the person who agrees with you 70% or 80% of the time is your friend, not your enemy.”
Collins said, “Liz Cheney is a woman of strength and conscience. And she did what she felt was right, and I salute her for that. We need to be accepting of differences in our party. We don’t want to become like too much of the Democratic Party, which has been taken over by the progressive left. We need to have room for a variety of views, especially since we adhere to those core principles that I mentioned earlier.”

Liz is a POS.
If Sen. Collins opponent hadn’t been so horrid she wouldn’t have been re-elected.
Strength? She panders to the left. She is a coward.
Conscience? Maybe Susan meant principles. I don’t see a party leader that trashes half of the party as demonstrating any sort of conscience.
Shaky Susan Collins will say anything, and I mean anything for $50 bucks.
Some people defended Collins voting against Barrett to win reelection, but then she voted to convict Trump in the unconstitutional impeachment trial. She’s a RINO.
Liz Cheney is a TRAITOR, nothing else.
Senator Collins knows it is best to let Liz be as she is(at least until Liz’s next primary).
Liz might actually help the Republican cause in the interim.
True Wyoming Republicans need to keep their mouths closed, their eyes open and their backs away from Liz.
I wonder if Collins truly believes that we Republicans/Conservatives believe whatever she says?
Is she does, she is as looney as #BeijingBiden lacking a grasp on reality...kinda like a leftist.
You ever notice how scumbags like Tapper and the rest of his liberal media colleagues NEVER worry about the intra-party fights that goes on in the Rat party? Every day these morons wring their hands about what’s happening in the GOP. They have to do this because they want a submissive, compliant GOP.
Yeh yeh the RINO from Maine gives her seal of approval to a like-minded critter like Lizzard and also Willard. Backstabbing the conservative base is a virtue in corrupt DC.
Susan Collins doesn’t believe in anything except getting reelected.
Period.
She has no convictions. Zero.
Whether or not it is true, it is irrelevant. Cheney is a turncoat to those whom she purports to represent. A courageous anti-MAGA politician is no better for America than a quisling anti-MAGA politician. Get rid of all anti-MAGA politicians, and let God sort out their courage and strength.
You know Mitt Romney’s dad was Governor of Michigan?
That’s why we must support him! /hurl
Cheney, Collins, Murkowki. Charter members of the demented,old ladies mutual support league, RINO division. Does anyone else recognize that the decline of the American nation correlates with ascension of demented, post menapausal old ladies into positions of power. Pelosi, Harris, Hikono, Duckworth, Whitmer, Feinstein, Murray, Whitmer, Sotomayor, Kagan, Cheney, Clinton, Waters, Jarrett, Rice etc. Sorry but estrogen depleted old women often don’t think clearly or logically, are emotionly labile. intolerant and should not be making or influencing critical decisions. A nation that allows it has lost its manhood and virility. It won’t last.
Rino to Rino. Would make a typical Hippie song from the 60’s.
Collins sound and appears to be exhibiting a woman crush.
I have lived in Maine since 2003 and I have not met 1 mainer that has a clue. These people do not know who the governor is. I live in lobster territory and they drop out of high school to go clamming or be a sternman on a boat. Big money and lots of toys until they get hurt. Then they lose it all.
Cheney is a political operative with a personal agenda
I hope they have their retirement plans in order. Oh, yeah... they get a 6 digit pension as members of Congress, if I am not mistaken.
