Hope she means it.
Via Kyle Griffin:
Republican Susan Collins says she's voting against #KashPatel's nomination to be Trump's FBI Director:
"Mr. Patel's recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI."
@GottaLaff I also hope so. In the past, Susan Collins has been against everything bad. But ends up voting for it..
@rlstone4dems @GottaLaff They know they have enough votes without her, so she gets to play "moderate" for her constituents.
@dan613 @rlstone4dems @GottaLaff yep, her and Murkowski already played this game with Hegseth.
@daedalean @dan613 @rlstone4dems @GottaLaff and Mitch too. Surprisingly for RFK Jr only Mitch voted no. So disappointed with Murkowski, I haven't trusted Collins in years
@michelin @dan613 @rlstone4dems @GottaLaff mitch threw me, maybe he’s a true believer and trying to get right with god before the end. Or he just personally hates hegseth. Still, if any of em actually wanted to stop the appointment they probably could’ve persuaded one other gop senator to join em.
@daedalean @dan613 @rlstone4dems @GottaLaff and now Mitch voted for Patel ... I guess it's too good to be true hoping he found courage at last
@michelin @daedalean @dan613 @GottaLaff So true, Michel. I also don’t trust Collins. And it’s been this way for years.
@dan613 @rlstone4dems @GottaLaff
yup. she's been the poster child for "but not all republicans" while totally supporting the party line. i don't recall her ever being the deciding factor in overriding any vote.
@paul_ipv6 @rlstone4dems @GottaLaff I was wondering if she ever helped stop a Republican bill.
@dan613 @rlstone4dems @GottaLaff
she's been there forever, so it's possible but every time i've cared/hoped, she's been a disappointment.
