Chuck Schumer and Susan Collins’ relationship is frostier than ever. More than four months after Collins handily dispatched Schumer’s efforts to deny her a fifth term, the Maine Republican and the Senate majority leader have no relationship to speak of

the targets of negative ads, and spending on the race swamped Vacationland like no previous Senate contest.

Then Democrats snagged two stunning runoff victories in Georgia, making Schumer majority leader. And since then, he's made no apparent effort to mend fences with Collins despite her yearning to play a productive role in bipartisan deal-making. Schumer declined on Wednesday to repeat his comments about Collins from Tuesday night’s CNN interview. He would say only that Democrats’ “No. 1 job is to pass a big bold agenda, and we’ll work with any Republican we can to get that done.” He would not address the notion that criticizing Collins could hurt his prospects of executing on that agenda.“Dumb, dumb, dumb,” said Sen.

“I would imagine she took it personally. And I do think it’s unfortunate there isn’t a better relationship," added Murkowski, who has met privately with Schumer to discuss working together.

What proof is there of her recent, relevant, examples of bipartiship

Is this important?

As it should be! A 2faces bitch😱

SenatorCollins My My. Chuck Shumer is a bully. So I will make all Mainers and Americans pay and deny everything good that comes through the Senate. Thanks for helping me survive out here working in covid infected world I don't make 177,000 a year.

Collins spends more time clutching her pearls than doing what is best for Maine or the country.

Senator Collins don’t get sucked into their leftist bullshit. Shumer is exactly what he’s always been. A left wing partisan hack

Shumer/dems never had a lot of foresight. Shumer would sell out his own mother...its in his nature...

She doesn’t vote for democratic bills! Who cares.

Impeach Pelosi for inept Capital Security 1/6/21. Obstruct at every opportunity! GOP needs to take bold action to get her and all Socialist Democratic Party members out of the House, Senate & WH. What are you doing about Schumer & Pelosi? Hold yourself accountable! MAGA🇺🇸

burgessev The TMZ interns working at Politico are now trying to outdo NY Post. Where do they get these people for these jobs?

She’s wishy washy. I’ll never forget her saying how 45 “learned his lesson” and that’s why she didn’t vote to impeach the first time. Unfortunately the joke was on all of us, not just her.

'romped to victory by nine points'? My dudes, she won by 37 -- THIRTY-SEVEN -- points in 2014. She wasn't romping in 2020; she was sweating. I know in the end a loss is a loss, but credit where it's due: Gideon peeled off a lot of Collins's voters.

Odds are she’s “concerned” and “disappointed.” But if memory serves he will likely “learn a lesson.”

Don’t placate Susan Collins... she will never ever have your back. She’ll pull the rug out from under you every. single. time.

What a sick sour sallow shallow woman SenatorCollins is

She’s literally the definition of frigid so this makes sense.

So what? Collins is a fraud.

Collins isn't as obvious as most republicans. She's only voted against Neera Tanden. But, if you look at her lock step for Trump's unqualified nominees, you have to wonder why she voted against her? So anytime she can sniff a reason for a no vote, she is in. So disappointed.

She should just kick his whiny ass.

Yawn.....

FU, Susan.

Collins is shady af

I'm okay w that.

'I'm the most bipartisan Senator in Congress' says woman who enabled an insurrectionist by supporting almost all of his policies

“Always Disappointing” Collins is a pearl clutching hypocrite. She pretends she moderate but she is just as right wing as Marsha Blackburn.

Collins is scum. I don’t even like Schumer, but there’s no reason to be friendly with people like Collins. It drives me up a wall to see people call her “moderate.” Trump’s cult is simply so far to the right that everyone else is moderate in comparison.

And?

Kavanaugh. That is her legacy.

Once DC is added as a state, neither she nor Manchin will matter. Knock on wood..

Oh no, a Senator who pretends to be moderate while never actually voting that way is finally being treated like the waste of time she is? How terrible! 🤣 The hell with Collins. She gave Trump pretty much everything he wanted, and she refuses to vote for the American people!

💯% love lobster. 💯% don't eat lobster. 💯% because of Collins.

She’s an extremist republican. Her views of more war and no $15 wage are out of touch with most people

Shocking that two politicians don't get along? And Politico, supposedly a media outlet, covers politics, right?

SusanCollins is addicted to the Trump KoolAid. She would rather have thousands of Maine children continue to live in poverty than cross the GOP party line to do what is right. She supports PartyOverCountry quite clearly. She is no moderate Republican open to bipartisanship

Yawn

Can the media stop with the bullshit Susan Collins bipartisan narrative already? She’s a tease, nothing more. Happy Schumer has moved on. It’s about time.

So let me get this straight - SenSusanCollins is going to make decisions based on her aggravation with a colleague instead of what’s right for her constituents and the American people ?

Gosh, I’m concerned.
