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.

The senator, who is a crucial swing vote on Kavanaugh's nomination, was responding to a question on what she thought of a tweet from the President suggesting that Christine Blasey Ford should have come forward with her allegation against Kavanaugh earlier....

Trump should have continued his previous attitude. The woman is nuts, it is obvious, the Rats are impossible, Collins & Flake & Corker are also impossible. The GOP troublemakers must be catered too.

They don’t need her vote, thanks to no name McCain and the Gov of Arizona they can loose both the dem whores claiming to be Rs with the VP breaking the 49/49 tie.

Collins, and that whore from Alaska want us to get so mad that we stay home on Nov. 6.

We need to go vote and give President Trump a super majority so that the two sluts are inconsequential!

Susan Collins needs to understand this was NOT a rape. It was never alleged to be a rape.

It was two drunk teenagers at a 'get together' at some boy's home while his parents were out.

And Ford is NOT a teenager anymore. She's a middle-aged college professor... And she's had over 30 years to 'think' about what happened. If only women's feelings count then what about Kavanaugh's wife and daughters?

Can we at least consider their feelings for a minute or two?

I’m apalled with Collins. First, she just lied about what Trump said. Second, she wasn’t at the party so can’t possibly know what did or didn’t happen. Third, she’s on the committee so shouldn’t be speaking about it to anyone, much less the msm. Geez, do any of these Senators have a clue ethics? Yeah, rhetorical.

Apparently she doesn’t like to fly

Chalk being claustrophobic up to another of her lies. She can't make the 5 hour flight on a big plane but says she'll drive in a little closed car for nearly 3000 miles across the country.

I support President Trump enthusiastically but it doesn't mean I agree with everything he tweets.

Yesterday, he stepped in it.

Sometimes he needs to quit while he's ahead and he was ahead on the issue up until those stupid tweets. He drew fire away from Blasey-Ford and onto himself. His tweets were not clever, poorly timed, and unnecessary.

Don't worry though.

Don't worry. In the end, they'll be of little consequence. Kavanaugh's confirmation rests solely in the hands of the Senate.

I’m sure she is very comfortable. This is a set up. She is in the wind. Trump finally got someone to leave the country and Don Jr. didn’t have to pay for it. FLAG HER PASSPORT and ID now.

The original Portland ME fake news report does its job in reporting how badly people from the Left want to have their voice heard by swing-vote Collins, as if there’s a groundswell against BK.

But they slipped - the threats against Collins also appear to be from the Left.

Judge Judy asks for police reports in almost every case she has on TV. Also the lady judge on People’s Court.

Is this a foreign concept to Collins?

WHO the hell are we electing in the USA???

Stephen King is not a hero in our Maine home. He is a mentally sick writer, one whose musings appeal to folks not of sound mind or character...of which there are many in America.

The woman is nuts, it is obvious,

Are you referring to Dr. Ford or Sen Collins? I can't tell the difference.

“”Well, I’m appalled that Collins calls herself a Republican.””

Maine likes electing women to the senate who pretend to be Republicans and we got Collins and Snow. Then when they had a chance to replace Snow, they didn’t have guts enough to elect a male Republican - has to be an Independent. Maine should be annexed to Canada and let them do their damage there. They’re not doing us (US) any good....

They could send us their governor tho’.

The Demwit in all but name from Maine isn't and wasn't ever going to vote to confirm Kavanaugh anyway, and is just regurgitating prefabricated fake outrage and her own sexism. She's unfit for office, and that is nothing new.
