The left escalates its vilification of Susan Collins
By Monica Showalter
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who will cast the deciding vote in the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, is an interesting maverick Republican and that's got the left outraged.
For years, she's been the bane of Republicans because she's strongly pro-choice (or pro-abortion depending on how you want it put) and she's also shown a willingness to support the detested Obamacare set-up for health care. She famously cast a vote to acquit Bill Clinton of impeachment charges back in 1999. Sounds a bit soft and mushy, right?
Her Kavanaugh vote today says no. For all the appearances of leftishness, she seems to have a thing about not being pushed around and her independent backbone is not just confined to Republicans. That comes as a shock to the left because she was up until now, always "theirs," and pushing her around was their entire plan. They used the foulest tactics, far worse than the media reported, according to Sen. Marco Rubio. And that backfired, so they're seething. Yet incredibly, they aren't stopping. With the witch hunt over, they are coming for the heretics.
