Fox News won’t let it go. They’re acting like she made history but she just voted like everyone else except Murcowski.
You missed the big picture.
FOX News also insisted Ford was credible.
Nuff said.
Murcowski got her Soros Check.
“Fox News won’t let it go. They’re acting like she made history but she just voted like everyone else except Murcowski.”
Collins laid out her case and voted based on that. What she did, every Senator should have done. She stepped up big time and even though she is a social liberal she did what was right. There was no ideology here.
Yea, just a vote. However, her speech explained things in a calm and logical fashion such that it could help sway republican women to get out and vote. Or perhaps even turn some rats.
Of the 100 Senators, only those 4 are making headlines. What about the others, hmm?
Collins speech was planned for days. It was good to get the facts out there but it still smells. All this wishy washy will she or won’t she was nothing but theater building up to the speech. They, the GOP, had to get a woman to give because an “old white man” would have been booed so they get Collins, with her weak voice, to play with the msm. That nearly hour long list of accomplishments and the references to Merrick was to get to the libs. That speech was not created over lunch with McConnell.
I don’t think that’s the point. She methodically laid out point by point not only Kavanaugh’s stellar character and why he belongs on the Supreme Court, but she called out the Democrats for their lies and hypocrisy including breaking of senate rules. She emphasized the importance of due process and this attempt to upend and destroy it along with a good man and that she didn’t believe Ford’s accusations.
I groaned when I heard of her press conference thinking she wanted to bask in limelight and power but she made me proud. She made the case for Kavanaugh. That was better than just a yes vote from her especially in her position as a liberal Republican woman.
Did I agree with everything she said? Nope. I am a woman who doesn’t believe Ford was ever assaulted.
That speech was not all of her own hand. Ill wager it was written well before the vote, and likely penned by McConnell and Grassly - or members of their staff. There were some parts that very much sounded typical to what Senator Collins would say; but the speech in its entirety hardly came across as being from the mind of Collins herself.
