Sen. Susan Collins said she is "appalled" by a tweet from President Donald Trump disparaging the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

The Maine Republican called the statement from the President "inappropriate and wrong."

"I was appalled by the President's tweet," Collins said Friday, according to audio obtained by CNN of an event where she spoke with local reporters.

And through all that, we need her vote. President Trump needs to limit his comments on this matter to praise for BK.

Her thesis was about making Ru486 a miracle drug against depression... her whole spiel is paid for by the pharma abortion industry

“He didn’t “attack” Blasely Ford, he merely asked why it wasn’t reported at the time.”

I hear you, and I agree on the point, but Trump needs to stay out of the fight right now.

Susan Collins’ mind has been infected by the cult of Cultural Marxism. Identity Politics is rearing up like a mad rat with the blood of America dripping from its teeth. We our Republicans to be the exterminators when America is the real victim of the oppressors.

"We our Republicans to be the exterminators when America is the real victim of the oppressors," should read,

"We need our Republicans to be the exterminators when America is the real victim of the oppressors."

"Stephen King is considered a hero in Maine, what does that tell you?"

It tells me that something about Maine has compelled many men to go out for a purchase and forget how to find their wives again.

I suspect that Stephen King didn’t like Rodney Dangerfield much. ;-)

Yeah, that pretty much says it all.

I hear she demands to have enough time to sail around the Cape of Good Hope to get to Washington.

But on a serious note, this is a woman whose bio has included that she had a passion for surfing and took an internship in Hawaii because of that. I highly doubt she travelled to/from Hawaii via passenger ship.

Grassley needs to force a vote Monday.

After my Psychology 101 in college, the Professor was committed to a mental institution. Good teaching, though.

Susan Collins is searching for reasons to be offended.

Exactly right. Like her or not, we need her vote. If only we had a few more senators on our side.

She's not appalled. She wants something.

She's just established a beginning negotiating position.

Actually, Murkowski won her primary when she first ran for senate because of crossover democrap voters.

Stop blaming the President for the attack and purposeful subversion of our country. Ben Carson got it right in the Examiner article.

So go get yourself elected to the Senate from Maine, and then we wouldn’t need Susan Collins’ vote.
