Activists target Susan Collins after she seals Kavanaugh vote, call for harassment
By Lukas Mikelionis

Activists’ efforts to convince lawmakers to oppose Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh descended into calls for public harassment and accusations of being a “rape apologist” after the judge gathered enough votes to get confirmed on Saturday.

Maine senator Susan Collins, a moderate Republican who’s often a swing vote on issues, paved the way for the nominee to the Supreme Court. Sources told Fox News that the confirmation vote of Kavavanaugh is expected to begin between 3:30pm and 4pm Eastern Time. The whole procedure will take up to 20 minutes.


In a fiery and lengthy speech on Friday, Collins explained her decision to support the Kavanaugh’s nomination, slamming the confirmation process that resembled a “caricature of a gutter-level political campaign” and said anti-Kavanaugh outside groups distorted the judge’s record with “over-the-top rhetoric.”

She needs secret service protection.

Collins said she doesn't believe Kavanaugh will aid in overruling Roe V Wade.

And this seems to be the main point of contention with the Democrats, protesters, etc.; maybe the main contention with them is that now there will be a somewhat conservative majority.  So, should push come to shove, the court could definitely rule leaning to the right.

She needs secret service protection.

At this point, what Republican and/or conservative doesn't need protection from these crazies?

She needs secret service protection.

ALL of the Republicans do.   What had Scalise done to deserve being shot?   Nothing.... but being a GOPer.

The way this nomination turned out perhaps validates the strategic decision not to nominate someone like Amy Coney Barrett.  As great a Justice as she'd be, it is likely that the votes would not have been there to confirm her, and we'd be mourning a GOP defeat rather than celebrating a victory.  If we pick up a few seats in the midterms, there would be a much better chance of confirming her.

I would love to see how DiFi and Chuckles try and drag her name through the mud.

What outraged Susan Collins was the realization the Democratic and media left was not merely indifferent to Kavanaugh’s guilt or innocence. They KNEW he was innocent but sought to destroy him anyway #KavanaughConfirmation

People better figure out that the Left is in perpetual outrage mode and buckling to them or taking them serious is a waste of time....

I’m at the anti Kavanaugh rally.

They keep telling everyone to chase down Trump supporters where they eat, work, and live.

These aren’t idle threats. They are rallying a nationwide mob.

Believe me. They mean it.

Ironic isn't it, that the mob who ranted to protect one female is calling for harassment against another.

Real people see the incongruity.
