Susan Collins Defends Vote to Convict Trump: It Was a ‘Culmination of Actions’ that Started ‘Even Before the Election’
Breitbart ^ | 02/16/2021 | Hannah Bleau

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) defended her decision to convict former President Donald Trump for incitement of insurrection during an appearance Tuesday on WLOB radio with host Ray Richardson, explaining that she voted to convict Trump not just based on his January 6 speech alone but his “culmination of actions which started even before the election occurred.”

It’s easier to get elected than to get hired.

Let me say it again-give her a pass. It’s Maine. Think Kavanaugh.

“It’s easier to get elected than to get hired.”

Make that re-elected. Once you’re in, you have to really mess up to not be re-elected, or have it stolen.

In other words, nothing she can specifically pinpoint. He just didn’t act presidential. Frankly, that is what I liked about him.

So the constitution is just a culmination of words that you swore to uphold to. Last time that she is replaced.

They spied on his campaign and made stuff up to try to impeach him the first time. He talks of peace and they try to impeach him. Again. How do they justify what they did.

Almost 80 million citizens thought Trump was just perfect for us.

Our “leaders” are turning out to be even dumber than I thought. If I recall correctly the article of impeachment was not about a “culmination of actions which started even before the election occurred.” I could come up with better BS than that to cover an odious vote and I don’t have “expert” staff to help me.

Never-Trumpers operate with very few Prime Directives. The most important one is “Orange Man Bad”.

First the verdict and sentence, then the trial, and lastly, any evidence that might apply. The narrative is important above all else, everything is fitted to that.

If the crime does not exist, invent something, regardless of plausibility.

“Culmination of actions”

Hey Suzy Creamcheese, was Trump wrong? Ever? About anything he said?

No.

Your action was indefensible.

...oh, but you’re not speaking to me?, you’re speaking to your retarded constituency?.

Got it.

Just like the racist charge, the insurrection charge is baseless.

If you ask the accuser to produce a real live quote that backs up the charge, they can't. They can only produce other people's interpretations of things Trump said. His own words and actions do not back up the charges, so they have to explain to you what he really meant.

Everything Biden said in the graphic below is a direct quote, all with video or audio recordings of him saying these words exactly.

She is a scum. Getting stabbed in the back by ignorant and ideological froth-mouthed Leftists is par for the course.

Being stabbed in the chest by someone you voted for (if you lived in Maine) to safeguard your interests is something else altogether.

People like her, Romney, Murkowski, McCain (even a dead McCain) and McConnell have a special place in Hell reserved for them.
