Susan Collins Gets 'Six Figure' Payback From Dark Money Group After Voting 'Yes' On Kavanaugh

by Lance Perriman Oct 10, 2018

A “dark money” group that spent millions promoting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation effort announced on Tuesday that it’s rewarding Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) with a new “six-figure TV and digital ad campaign” in support of her re-election after she voted for Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

The group, Judicial Crisis Network, issued a press release expressing its gratitude to Collins for her “yes” vote.

“Thank you Susan Collins for thoughtfully reviewing Judge Kavanaugh’s judicial record and weighing the evidence, and for being a reasonable voice during this incredibly divisive time,” Carrie Severino, the group’s chief counsel and policy director, said.

What a nice addition to her already disastrous situation , and a additional stain on our country, and the history books will show her . Not a surprise their paying them openly for policies now. Another good reason we need to retake the Senate control over for the Democrats, or it'll continue , and get much worse, especially with regards to trump involved in and starting a war. Is putin baiting him into it? Will Putin and China set him up ? Or will trump join with putin and china against European nations ? Our allies should be scared now. trump has no allies except these corrupt criminal dictators he calls friends. If the Senate is still under their control it'll allow him to do this, and they will pay them off with russian money for their policies. Collins is corrupt, and it will backfire for her.

Surely two standing ovations for Sue Collins, as she dramatically pretended she was so torn in this issue. She is vile. At least with Mitch McConnell, there is no doubt he is rotten to the core. He wears his dark soul on his sleeve.

"So, a fund by thousands of people making small contributions to your would-be opponent is a "bribe" in your book, but accepting a large sum of money from Judicial Crisis Network for your Kavanaugh vote is OK? You're a transparent hack without the integrity to be a Senator, and I hope the state of Maine treats you in this next election the same way you treated Dr. Ford."

✋they are thieves.

There was corroboration for Dr ford. The kav is as dirty as the day is long. Spiking drinks at parties means accessory to rape.

And what about the witness tampering before his hearing? Who hacked Dr Ford's email and what did our gop enemies do with Dr Ford's info?

Suzie's old man has some shady business clients. Now I need a shower

There is no redeeming them.

Their ideas are trash. They don't believe in democracy. They are simply anti-american.
