Susan Collins, considered a critical swing vote in the successful nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, reveals a terrifying moment during the process. The Daily Caller reports:
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins revealed the details of an early October incident that prompted Capitol Police to assign her protection during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process, in an interview with the Washington Examiner published Thursday.
“I’d worked late til 9:30 p.m., and there was a man who had been waiting for me at my townhouse in the rain in the dark for hours,” Collins told the Examiner. “And that, I will tell you, really scared me.”
The Republican was one of the swing votes in confirming Kavanaugh. She waited until the day before the Oct. 6 vote to announce she would support Kavanaugh’s nomination.
Collins and her office received threats and even obscene items while she considered whether or not to vote to confirm Kavanaugh. She had assigned protection both in Washington, D.C., and at her home in Bangor, Maine, where protesters gathered on the weekends, reported the Examiner.
Leftist violence and intimidation cannot be yielded to, otherwise it will just create more terrorism.
agreed
The American left is a hate filled racist bunch of SOBs. They are so incensed that their harlot Hillary lost the election they cannot think rationally. Now, in order to pay Trump back for winning, they lie , cheat, steal, break laws, assault innocent people, try to overcome existing laws, many that they helped pass into law. They are creepy, asinine, and no longer belong in our country as they are behaving.
They are a menace to civilization!
The explanation Olleoctopus wrote is about as complete and definitive as I’ve ever read. And each point of action or thought raeminds me that it has been said, suggested or tried by the left, and one or two by the right. When did we last allow our kids to go outside and play until dark, or ride around town to visit friends, play ball in the park, or swim until th pool closed? When did we last have an America we were comfortable with? Trump often chooses the wrong phrases and appears to be a buffoon, but the man is getting some needed things done. Go vote this coming Tuesday and help him.
Political Mafia !
Shouldn’t that type of intimidation be considered as a “Hate Crime”? This was named as a crime and was invented by the liberal left. But it only seems to be considered as a serious matter when it has been against a liberal. So, what’s the deal? Chuck
Chuck: Please don’t fall for the hate crime nonsense. Hate crimes and hate speech legislation has its roots in the communist-inspired, so-called Frankfurt School founded in Frankfurt, Germany by Bolsheviks in the 1920s. Its goal was to implement communism in the West quietly by gradually subverting popular culture — a movement known as Cultural Marxism. One of its leading lights, Herbert Marcuse, opined that the prevailing Western social order is repressive by definition and discriminates against minorities simply by existing.
Key strategies to achieve this goal are: (Most of these points have been realized)
1. The creation of racism offenses.
2. Continual change to create confusion.
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children.
4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority.
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
6. The promotion of excessive drinking.
7. Emptying of churches.
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime.
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits.
10. Control and dumbing down of media.
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family.
Munzenberg stated flatly, “We will make the West so corrupt it stinks.”
Today, his mission appears to have been largely accomplished.
If I murder you, what difference does it make if I loved or hated you? Hate crime laws are made to undermine our legal system. We are witnessing the death of our country and are now entering the age of thought police! Canada is already there.
Looking forward to the day liberal blood flows.
I feel that time has came where the Right create their own reactionary forces and could be formed in every majoy city. Each time the left starts their rants, we react in a way that put knots on their heads, maybe they will learn what things could get like.
Ever heard of the Proud Boys?
hot lead is what they need
I am glad you voted to hire an honorable man to the Supreme Court. I am sorry that our nation did not totally accept his innocence by due process.
The way he was treated was a disgrace to the American people. I believed him and thought it was a setup!!! God bless him and his family.♥️
This doesn’t change the fact that the good people of Maine would be better off with a true Conservative as their States US Senator.
I live right next door in New Hampshire and I can tell you that a “true conservative” would not likely win in that BLUE State! Collins is not really that bad either. She keeps to the right most of the time, especially when really needed.
