A heavy law enforcement presence was seen at the private home of U.S. Sen. Susan Collins Monday afternoon to investigate what police are calling “a suspicious envelope” sent to her West Broadway residence.

Police responded to Collins’ house at 1:39 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15, to investigate a report of the envelope that had been delivered sometime earlier that day, said Sgt. Wade Betters of the Bangor Police Department. He declined to describe why the envelope was deemed suspicious and deferred questions to the U.S. Capitol Police.

Collins, a Republican, was not at home Monday afternoon as members of the Bangor Criminal Investigation Division, the Bangor Fire Department and a HAZMAT team from Orono investigated her home.

Stupid

UnCool

Dumb

Yup

[riversedge]

1. This is sick (if indeed there is a package). No one from either Party should be

doing this dangerous stuff.

2. I suspect this was done to "victimize" Collins

To show how evil, and unhinged those liberals and anti-fa and Soros, and Clintons are. 'angry liberals' and 'mob rule' and whatever else they can call it. Fire up their pre-conditioned base. To hand them fresh meat to get them riled up for November.

Look, it may have been someone with left of center politics, a Democratic voter. But history shows that it very rarely is someone from the left that engages in this kind of violent terrorist behaviour. I suspect it will be found that its not even any threat. Just a prop they used. But it does the job anyways, gives Fox News a story to milk and twist for awhile.

4. Exactly - this is going to go on right up to the election...and beyond..

We have seen this ACT over and over....

[peace frog]

13. Yep, it's those angry mob liberals

trying to do harm to poor little innocent Collins. Uh huh.

3. The dust inside was her...

Shriveled, desiccated conscience.

5. Can you all please

wait until more information is available and don;t jump to conclusions? And especially don't blame our side? FFS

Have we not learned that the gop will resort to anything? Voter suppression, voter list purging, editing (doctoring) videos, etc etc etc?

9. That was for anyone that did this

FFS

[awesomerwb1]

10. Sure, right.

[jpak]

11. Yeah right

FFS

6. This was probably doen by Republicans so Trump could

boast how evil and how vicious Democrats are still holding a grudge
Nice trick if they can make it stick..
McConnell is probably addressing this on the Senate floor now

[cstanleytech]

7. Another Repugnant trying to muddy the waters to help her and the other Repugnants

with a false flag of fear, uncertainty and doubt?

[bluestarone]

12. Wel to be honest it would not surprise me that a REPUB did this

There is NO LOW that they would go!

[lovemydogs]

14. That is so sad. People are just getting to be really ugly these days

[bitterross]

15. Who doesn't believe it was a flase flag op?

Come on. We know that our side doesn't do this. Tell me how many times a person from our side has done this sort of thing.

I'm of the opinion that the MAGAts did it so they can claim the Dems are dangerous. We'll be hearing the "Both sides do it" bullshit very soon.

[Jedi Guy]

16. Steve Scalise might disagree with your assessment.

We know that our side does do things like this. Granted, the other side does it much more frequently, but neither side is 100% blameless.

I hope the cops catch the person or people behind this, regardless of their politics. And if they're caught, I hope they get what's coming to them.

17. Thoughts and Prayers...

18. BTW, the fund to help finance Collin's 2020 Democratic opponent is now up to $3,716,191!
