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.”

More confirmation that Liz is crap. Now we’ll here from Murky of AK.
Posting here, I am a broken record, but I will repeat:
Donald Trump will never forgive a relatively modest number of elected Republicans; and he will co-opt and rehabilitate most others. Reconciliation will come for Pence, Haley, Rubio, and various others.
Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney are toast. There will be a banding together of the GOPe, and so the outcomes for Susan Collins and others are yet to be determined. I think Trump will give them a long rope ... extending for six months or more ... but they need to cut Cheney, Romney, Jeb Bush and others loose and let them sink. Otherwise, they will go down as well. There is a line and the Susan Collins and Mitch McConnels need to decide which side of the line they’re on. Mitch has clearly been on the wrong side of the line, but he is a crafty and wise fellow and he has time and power enough to move. His fate is not yet sealed.
Painting their toes in pink PJs before...
Pillow Fight! ...on the bed spread smothered in red hearts.
(was that visual as disturbing for you as it was for me)
Oh, goody. Now WY voters make sure Cheney becomes a woman of strength and conscience as a member of the private sector.
“...called Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) “a woman of strength and conscience.”
Yeah, and it’s a dirty rotten shame she will no longer be a congresshag next year!😎
“(was that visual as disturbing for you as it was for me)”
Yes and it just jumped in my head when Collins jumped in with Mr. Dyke.
Tribalism - to be expected of all people who are not white males. In this case, the Sisterhood is FAR MORE IMPORTANT to her than the voters who kept her in her seat.
Everything wrong with the GOP in one statement.
Collins still playing protecting the deep state members.....which the rhinos will continue to do. They’ve all been there so long they only serve to protect each other and stay in the game.
Trump needs to attack their funding. No one should donate to the Repukes and Trump should be leading that charge.
About as much as Susan Collins is!
Susan Collins was courageous to vote for Kavanaugh. Liz Cheney is following the mob out to destroy Trumpism forever. Takes no courage to join the mob.
She was also ‘dismayed’ that Romney was booed.
Liz is a woman who’s voted Democrat for the past several elections. She hasn’t voted for a winning Republican President in nearly 20 years
She’s a War Whore.
Patriots not only need to primary (2022) candidates who don’t promise to help put a stop to post-17A federal government overreach, patriots also need to primary candidates who don’t promise to require judges and law enforcement officials do the following when someone is accused of violating a federal law.
Judges and law-enforcement officials need to inform the accused of the constitutional clause(s) that arguably justifies the allegedly broken law for further scrutiny of the constitutionality of that law, especially where unconstitutional federal peacetime gun control laws are concerned imo.
And to make these new policies permanent, patriots also need to work with states lawmakers to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.
The 16th Amendment can disappear too.
BARF
And you, Collins are a piece of nothing!
Collins is not what Maine is. Maine deserves better. A true Republican will never win, but a R who is America First can. Maybe different views on social issues, but one who read the CONSTITUTION...
