Sen. Collins (R-ME) claiming she is getting threatening calls and voice mails

[book_worm]

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, is receiving borderline threatening calls and voicemails ahead of an impeachment vote, according to NBC affiliate News Center Maine, which obtained several of the voicemails.

The callers accuse Collins of protecting President Donald Trump and say the senator is a traitor. A spokesperson for Collins told News Center Maine that one in every 25 calls her office received was targeted, profanity-laced and verges on threatening.

"You're gonna lose, Susan Collins. You're gonna lose. You're just a little b---- for Donald Trump. F--- you," one caller said in a voicemail obtained by News Center Maine. "We want to see the witnesses. We want a fair trial."

Hmm, sounds like something Trump supporters would do to try and influence her vote to support Trump by blaming those in favor of calling witnesses and impeachment for these calls.

1. I'm concerned.

[trueblue2007]

34. . I'm NOT concerned.

[CincyDem]

2. Oh my - this is so "concerning". n/t

[Silent3]

3. I'm concerned. Troubled even. n/t

[Bettie]

4. I wish I had sympathy for her

but I don't.

Maybe some mild concern and a slightly furrowed brow.

[marble falls]

5. I'm concerned today. Check with me again in a couple of days.

[MerryBlooms]

6. If true, I might be concerned... Let me check to see which way the wind is blowing.

[RockRaven]

7. Trying to make other people seem unreasonable to distract from her own unreasonable actions

specifically her impending votes to have no witnesses and to dismiss the charges.

[marble falls]

8. Sounds a whole lot more RW than LW.

[book_worm]

9. Yep.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Golly,you think so,

wonder why. Concerned?

[H2O Man]

11. In the Nixon era,

this was known as "rat fucking." Definitely Trump supporters.

[Squinch]

12. Concern from me too. Pass the popcorn.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. If threats are, she'll be kicked out of office- yes. Tack to Trumpville, enjoy your retirement -

your "terms Limits" campaign in the early 90's is well noted. You are useless for us, Senator. Constituent, Dexter,Me.

[empedocles]

14. Dems desperately need the Collins vote, and other 'unpopulars'. I don't understand the

pissing at them.

They have other constituents and concerns that they represent - that is a reality.

Schumer and Pelosi have their reservations about 'them', but also have a respectful, diplomatic mien - to get things done.

[Chemisse]

21. Collins seems to have made a bit of a game about being "concerned"

And in the end, voting with the GOP after she was somehow "convinced."

She's done this a few times. The last one was with the Kavanaugh confirmation to the Supreme Court. For many of us that was the final straw and we have nothing but contempt for her now.

[dweller]

25. pissing at them?

i'm only mildly dribbling my concern ...

wait till the sham acquittal comes through, from then till November

tut tut

✌🏼

[58Sunliner]

27. Don't hold your breath hoping she votes for rule of law or sanity.

[NanceGreggs]

15. Well, that's what happens, Sue ...

When you're a traitor, people notice.

[lame54]

16. Did he sound like Mitch McConnell?

[spanone]

17. It's the world of your party's making, Susan.

[roamer65]

18. I could care less.

The woman is a traitor.

[Wounded Bear]

19. I'm concerned...oh wait. I really don't care, do you? nt

[58Sunliner]

20. I didn't call her the b word.But what do you say to a traitor?

What does she really think is going to happen when she shits on the constitution and pretends to care while she supports a sociopath? I'm only surprised that she has not gotten death threats.

[Beaverhausen]

22. Not cool and not the way to try to convince her

[mnmoderatedem]

23. yeah Susan that's your republican base voter

wake up and smell the reality already

[Blue_true]

24. I can believe that some people are doing that.

Face it, we have more than a few stupid, immature people on our side, not remotely to the level of the right, but we do have them.

[JustAnotherGen]

26. She's doing this hand wringing act

I'm not falling for it.

[Raster]

28. I'm so concerned...

...truth hurts, doesn't it Senator. You know tRump* is a criminal and unfit to be POTUS. You. Know. This.

Enjoy your last term in Congress, Senator. And no, this is not a physical threat. This is, however, a political promise.

[Tech]

29. Well Susan, the rest of us are feeling threatened by the Republican party.

[Sanity Claws]

30. Sounds like she labels anything she doesn't like threatening

[Generic Brad]

31. To Whom It May Concern:

I’m shocked that 25 of 25 calls aren’t angrily calling out your traitorous behavior.

[blitzen]

32. I lived in Maine for six years. Lots of snowflakes there in Jan. and Feb. Is that you, Susan...

falling, twirling, settling on a familiar drift, compressing into a rigid block, melting down, eventually to turn into a filthy and universally despised and useless slush?

[stillcool]

33. what? no death threats? ...

just people profanely asking her to do her job? More chutzpah.

[Mike Nelson]

35. Not a good sign, because...

... she released this same story before the Kavanaugh vote. And, it's probably common... Many politicians get threatening and vulgar voice mails. I've seen Trump and Hillary's twitter feeds... awful stuff. Some of the worst, most disgusting threats to Hillary.

[helpisontheway]

36. I don't care..Her head is so far up McConnell 's

@ss that she will never do the right thing.

[EveHammond13]

37. to decide if I care, I need to know who is giving me the most money.

[MiniMe]

38. She has announced that she is supporting witnesses and documents

We'll see if she follows through with it

[UniteFightBack]

39. Oooooh someone called and left message with curse words. nt

[Scotch-Irish]

40. That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! These are tRump supporters, trying to

paint progressives and real Americans as assholes.

[romana]

41. Interesting

I heard the same statistic on npr the other day, that 1 in 25 are bad actors. Nothing about what the other 24 are saying. Collins is planting this story to paint herself as a victim.

[OliverQ]

42. Now she knows how Adam Schiff, the supposed Whistleblower,

AOC, etc. feel.

[volstork]

43. Sorry.

Not sorry.

[bdamomma]

44. Her saying

yes will not change my mind to give donations to her opponent.
