Chuck Schumer Calls Susan Collins a 'Mistake,' Reigniting Feud
newsmax.com ^ | 3/11/21 | Theodore Bunker

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has renewed interest in his ongoing feud with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who he singled out as “a big part” of the “mistake” Democrats made in trying to work with moderate Republicans in 2009.

“We made a big mistake in 2009 and ’10 — Susan Collins was a big part of that mistake. We cut back on the stimulus dramatically and we stayed in recession for five years,” Schumer said on CNN on Tuesday, referring to the economic stimulus package that Democrats pushed in response to the Great Recession.

On Wednesday, in remarks to reporters on Capitol Hill, Collins noted that “President [Barack] Obama urged me to vote for a stimulus bill that passed that year, and indeed called me afterwards to thank me for my vote. For Chuck Schumer, who was intimately involved in the negotiations as the assistant leader, to somehow criticize me for taking the same position that he did is simply bizarre.”

She added, “Why Chuck seems to be going out of his way to alienate the most bipartisan member of the Senate is a mystery to me. And it must just reflect his extraordinary frustration at having wasted $100 million in the state of Maine in an attempt to defeat me. And for me to win by a strong margin.”

Hey Susie Baby, Chucky now has 49 militant leftists, one go-along and the vice-president.

He doesn't need your help with left wing agenda items anymore. So you're now a "regular republican" that is, a hated, disgusting creature.

Chucky is pissed that you were able to defeat his minion, so the "friendship" is over.

Welcome to the benefit of helping out democrats: the curb!

Well, say what you want about her, but she probably does have a point of 100 million being wasted on trying to defeat her and maybe Chuck E is still sore over that, lol.

Lead, follow or get out of the way. When you play both sides you are not leading or following and you get run over.

The big mistake was having a stimulus package. The big banks should have been left to fail. The economy would have reset. Well, except for Obama.

This is Kabuki. Chuckles knows if he opposes her she'll continue to be re-elected and he's getting out in front of President Trump's endorsements.

Just think, if we had gotten rid of her, there would be NO MORE FILIBUSTER* and our guns would already be illegal!!!!

But who cares anymore, there do difference between the parties anyway!!!! Right?

All that matters is getting right of RINOs!!!! Right?

Looks like we missed a great opportunity here. Bummer, well we always have 2022 and maybe Lin Wood can convince more of us to not vote and the Democrats will get a CLEAN SWEEP and finish of the country, once and for all!

That will sure teach those RINOs!!!! Right?

*after Lin Wood, with Republican help, got rid of those two pesky Georgia RINOs

Susan Collins has always been a useful idiot for the Democrats. She is no longer useful. She has now become a useless idiot.

Susan Collins and Mike Lee are very surprised that the dems are evil. All other repubs will be surprised when they lose the next election due to rampant cheating.
