After Last Week's Sexist Tweets, DSCC Uses Stephen King to Fundraise Against Susan Collins

For the better part of President Trump’s first term in office, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has been a target of the far-left, because, of course, she does not embrace their radical agenda line-by-line. A noted moderate in the GOP Senate caucus, Sen. Collins votes with both parties, issue by issue. Sen. Collins’ nuanced approach to governance is unfathomable to the far-left.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) sent a fundraising plea, amidst a global health pandemic, for Sen. Collins’ opponent, Sara Gideon, featuring far-left author Stephen King:

Friend, I'm just so fed up with watching Susan Collins acquiesce to Trump and McConnell.

-- She gave a lifetime Supreme Court seat to Brett Kavanaugh.
-- She voted for a massive tax cut for billionaires.
-- She ignored ALL the evidence and voted to acquit Donald Trump.

Just last week, King Tweeted blatantly sexist rhetoric toward the women on President Trump’s coronavirus task force, falsely claiming that the group is “all white men.”

Note that Trump’s coronavirus team is all male, all old, and all white.


Whoops, there’s a woman there! My bad.


His sexism aside, King’s talking points against Sen. Collins are not only exhausted, but show the far-left’s disdain for nuanced governing. Sen. Collins carefully weighed her decision to vote for tax cuts, the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh and the acquittal of President Trump for a substantial amount of time. Sen Collins was seen as a wild-card for each of those votes, and is hardly ever considered a guaranteed “yes” vote by her caucus.

Sen. Collins is not a rubber stamp for any agenda, and the far-left cannot stand it. While Sen. Collins is helping her constituents affected by the coronavirus, and assisting in the crafting of crucial economic relief for small businesses, Democrats continue to gaslight the American people.

Given that King is a good novelist but a complete dumbass on everything else, what was she using him for except perhaps for money?

King, like Jim Carrey, Cher, etc., are mentally ill... turn the sound down and watch their faces, especially the eyes and facial contortions.

Collins needs to step aside. And promote a replacement.

Her symptoms of Parkinsons or something else was obvious when she spoke last week. It was shocking, actually. Selfish old unhealthy people need to call it.

King has morphed into “Christine”.
