Washington Sen. Susan Collins on Friday again defended her votes to acquit President Donald Trump in his Senate impeachment trial and said she opposes"any kind of retribution" against those who provided evidence against him -- the same day Trump fired two key witnesses in the inquiry.
"I think it's important to understand that when you're in an impeachment trial, you consider the evidence that is before you," the Maine Republican told reporters on Friday after speaking at the Maine Chiefs of Police Association Winter Conference in South Portland."You don't try to make predictions. You consider the evidence that's before you.
Well! Prove it
No she just wouldn't vote to let them testify or listen to what they have to say. She's a fool and is not fit for office. Not a woman or a human. A Republican through and through! ByeFelicia
Susan. When you hear yourself telling lies, do you feel disgust?Or have your soul and/or your frontal lobes dissolved?

Sad person.
Sue Collins bow your head to King Trump, you were right he has learnt his lesson and that lesson was I am Donald Trump and under my rule you either give up your rights to me or I will get you, way to conform to his control and give up your morals and freedom
What did you expect, you dim wit aka: SusanCollins !
BS
But you will protect CORRUPTION REPUBLICANS NO MORE!
So do think he learned his lesson Thanks for that Senate vote! Hope does spring eternal, but it doesn’t make it true it only allows a mad man to continue to ruin our country or maybe I should say my country. It appears that the Senate doesn’t care about our country anymore.
Tell that to Trump. Donald the Draft Dodger has already fired a war veteran and hero. Trump is no better than a mob boss and yet these spineless, gutless Republicans still support him.
She's garbage. Completely WORTHLESS! Why do we care what she has to say.
Collins needs to switch parties all she does is democrap for the Democrats
Fool
Removing a snake from the NSC located in the White House is not retribution.
Zero credibility
So what will she do about it!
How much?
Vote her out!
You worried about retribution against you. Thinking about your money and perks much! J/S
Well Susan Collins there was and once again your weak
Who in hell would vote for this woman to represent them
Should have known that Trump would not settle until every last person that said anything against him burned at the stake. You rewarded his bad behavior. You are just as guilty as he is for doing nothing.
You knew it was a snake when you picked it up...
Sure you say that but that’s what happened
I personally don’t care what you think. You had an opportunity to rid this country of Trump, by finding him guilty. You were disloyal to your country, and lied by signing the oath. Only Mitt Romney stood up to the truth. History will show all.
How is that obvious?
Gutless Senator!!
SenSusanCollins you are obviously more concerned about your Senate seat than OUR COUNTRY. I'm gonna bet you're outta a job Susie 🙈🙉🙊 GOPComplicitTraitors GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPCorruptionOverCountry VoteOutSusanCollins
Keep your sheepish, weak opinions to yourself and get back in Mitch's line. Your only value to the GOP is a vote. You have no independence, strength, or value beyond that to them
What evidence. I can go to court if I don't like you an say I think this is what he did. I think his intentions where this. An you go to prison. I didn't hear or see the crime but I know your guilty. So when is it every dem in court is going to be treated this way I'm a witness
I don’t understand you but I do know no one can trust your judgement on anything - and I hope you are not re- elected
Lmao an dems believe this what fools. Ya yesterday I shook the hand of a person who falsely accused me of multiple crimes. Started to impeach me 2 days before I took office. Not one charge she said was indisputable was filed not 1. Is now trying to still impeach me. Lmao
Girl bye! U know dang well he gonna go after them... u living a dream Collins if u think Trumps gonna do anything differently
She is until Moscow Mitch talks to her...
Them you should have voted for impeaching and removing!
Too bad she didn't have the guts to follow her instincts and do the right thing.
See, he didn't learn his lesson. Still doing the same kind of things. He don't care, he is gonna do whatever he wants now and there is nothing anyone can do, so thanks for that!!!
Indeed.
So President Trump should let these people keep stabbing him in the back
Collins needs to worry about her own self, as a mainer she's pissed off a lot of people. She's got a tough reelection ahead of her
Wait= if you come forward with evidence Ok- but hearsay, lies, and skew the process with false accusations ? SenSusanCollins
Shut the F up Susan Collins, you're as insignificant as the wet napkin on my Starbucks table..... Only the napkin is at least useful for a moment.
Lol this woman is so irritating
Who cares what you say Susan Collins? Not Americans and not Mainevoters
Too late now Susan.
great. Doesn’t make a difference but go off
She’ll take anything Trump dishes out!!
Collins is just another republican stooge who says what they want her to say. They do everything just for votes not because it’s the right thing. That’s why they are so wrong for AMERICA and our future if we have any left
Here we go again ... I will be 'concerned' 'disconcerted' 'fretful' 'uneasy' and 'troubled' ... (until the next vote)
You are a timid excuse for a senator.
Don’t act surprised now!
They were only removed from the White House. Still have their jobs! DID NOT FIRE! Pushing a false narrative as usual!
She must be so disappointed! Start packing up your office
SenSusanCollins is too stupid to understand how she is an enabler or hatred and racism. Remove her and stop her lies.
Please shut up
Should’ve convicted, loser.
Pam Bondi is. The Confederacy was to rise again in 2013 Pam Bondi had an opportunity in 2011 to investigate and nip it in the bud she did not I was attacked for asking her assistance. Christ came back on a mission to save the most vulnerable and those are clones facts FoxNews
Lock her up
SenatorCollins are you feeling troubled?
Too little to late!!!
Than why did you vote the way you did
If trump does not have such a dictator like character why is every senator in congress afraid to speak out because of retribution. This says it all
She spews rubbish everyday
Boy did he fool you, I hope you and you’re fellow senators are ashamed of yourselves
Well that’s reassuring. Cause they didn’t have evdience. Had to recant. Acted like a pompous ass. Oh and here’s the kicker - they serve at the discretion of the president. He doesn’t have to justify removing them. Period. Why is this so hard to grasp?!
A day late and a dollar short.
Susan Collins can shove it where the sun don't shine.
What will she do about it......nothing.
These corrupt officials are getting worried that POTUS is catching up on their crooked dealings while taxpayers flip the bill. realDonaldTrump is like having a department of common Sense and they have no idea what common Sense is
She’s not tho She knew this was going to be the outcome. He told everyone out loud. She chose to be complicit
She just couldn’t handle being smeared by Trump’s tweets. Oh, what a price to pay for our country. Spineless talking head.
You didn’t want to hear evidence. You don’t give a damn then, don’t give a damn now. You are now part of the cult and there is no way out of it.
Then why didnt you vote to remove him. Somebody needs to step on and stop this mad man.
Your words are empty SenatorCollins. GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPCowards
No, she is. She knew Trump would retaliate and supports him yet.
Omg! I can’t... evidence before you?! You voted for evidence not to be before you! You voted to not to remove him, now... since you are against retribution we will call your bluff... say openly that Trump is retributive agains witnesses who obeyed the law and start investigates.
Except Vinman didn’t come forward with evidence, he came forward with opinion. SenatorCollins
YET you OBVIOUSLY had the choice not to deal with this. You chose wrong,and know you're crying us a river? Give the American People a friggin break!
I love how Republicans are saying, “Dems didnt show enough evidence to prove he should be impeached so we acquitted him” You know why they didn’t show enough evidence to prove it in your warped minds?! Because you wouldn’t allow evidence to be submitted like every other trial!🤬
Come Nov 2020 this woman's job is gone and she know s it she can tell Moscow Mitch all her problems because they both will need a job after November 2020 Lindsey Graham as well
Don’t complain now, you voted for this man, knowing this was the wrong thing to do.
We pay them too much..I saw make elected positions non paying jobs. Bet we get real servants then
Vote her out!!!!!!!!!!
The evidence was presented to ALL of the Senators and they chose to turn a blind eye. Now they want to oust the paitriots who stood up against trump. Who is pushing this? One guess. King Donald the dufass
Oh is she?!?! 🙄
I am if it is a damn lie,that ole witch has to go
We must vote them all out; they refuse to stand up for us; so we must stand up to them.
In what sense has she made that obvious?
“....however I am happy to have enabled this criminal for political favors. The rest of the country must fend for itself. This is a dog-eat-dog world. If you disagree with me, please send your contributions to SaraGideon.”
You voted for trump to do what ever he wants
TRUMP 2020
But... he’ll learn from this whole impeachment process right? 🙄
Grow a pair of balls
How does SenatorCollins give an irresponsible teenager the keys to a Corvette and not expect him to do donuts in a church parking lot? Good grief.
Vote this moral midget out.
How’d that work out?
Collins is complicit in the revenge corruption tour of TyrantTrump. She emboldened a lawless morally bankrupt dictator. MittRomneyIsRight VindmanBrothersDeserveBetter RightMattersTruthMatters
isn’t retribution against a person who testifies illegal?
Where has she been? She voted with Trump to avoid retribution!
When you lay with dogs, you wake with Fless! She is Republican! She is Our problem! Covered for corruption. She is Corruption! This should End her days? Fraud
Praying for u
I have lost all respect for this Trumper.... Maybe learned his lesson? She does obviously think he's a child.
Did she end with the customary 'Baaaaaa'? The public has seen their GOP senators sheared. Will they continue to vote for sheep in November, knowing that they are TRUMP'S SHEEP, NOT THEIRS ?
Well maybe she should formally denounce Trump's actions. She's yet to truly stand for anything, maybe it's time she actually put it in writing and send it to our toilet bowl in chief.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
It doesn't matter what she thinks, actions are already being carried out by the pres and there is nothing they are going to do to stop it.
But no one came forward with 'evidence'. They came forward with presumptions, guesses and mind-reading.
Correct stance. Hopefully, therefore, she supports retribution against those who came forward with false accusations, assumptions, gossip, and innuendo: all masquerading as evidence.
Oh please, Collins! You're at the point where everything you say is suspect! You've become totally unbelievable!
cnn SenatorCollins is just talk and no action. She always talk big as if she will do something and never does. People like that need to be voted out.
Please stop reporting anything this crazy con artists SenSusanCollins say, talk or do. We don’t give a damn what she thinks , say or do anymore.
Liars you preaching water and drinking taking wine
Phony balcony ....
Please tell her to stop all the lies. She had all the opportunity in the world to stop it, but what did she do? Tell the easy route. As Senator your job is not made to be easy. You are to make a hard decision that go against your party but favor country.
Last I heard she said, “Trump learned his lesson.”
SenatorCollins TrumpToady sycophant delusional GOPCowards ComplicitCorruptGOP
Too late ...
Is she visibly upset
Oh, but Trump ‘learned his lesson.’ I Hope the people of Maine have now learned their lesson about Comrade Collins and WILL VOTE HER OUT!
she's useless who cares what she thinks
Well considering everybody saw this coming and you made the decision for the sham trial and to acquit the criminal in chief, you are either a really bad judge of character or you just lie to save your sorry ass.
Yeah SenateGOP ComplicitCorruptGOPSenators
Susan Collins: ooooobviously I’m not but whatta’ you gonna do?
This not evdience delusional theory corruption of tooling policies protect consumer not freeloading whiney sad loser no real value office chronicle nor developed function properly CopyrightOffice for entitlement and power authority dail9 retribution i,,me not to:me i,,am
Lying while being employed by the United States of America Government is treasonous and should be fired and tried for Treason.
Well how exciting.....
But she must realize, TrumpWillStopAtNothingToGetRevengeOnThoseWhoHadEvidenceOnHim! FakePresident
I Guess He Learned His Lesson Right Susan ?
Weak ass!
She's lying! Every republican that voted to allow trump to get away with his crimes by not removing him is responsible for his going after those who did what they needed to do and testified honestly. They know he's a bully & has the mind of a petulant child! THEY empowered him.
'Obviously'? How would we know? In which way is she making it 'obvious'? By enabling Trump? 'Obvious', huh?!
Susan needs to be ousted. She is so incoherent.
Not obviously at all
How bout evidence on you senator. Are you a secret sex occult society member?
This one is just an idiot .. Susan Collins .. So naive .. Am sure she has been to Nigeria to look for her prince ...
What EVIDENCE? It was all fabricated bs!
SenatorCollins so tired of your fake outrage after the fact. You are not the bright if you cannot figure out how Trump will respond to anyone that does not fall in line.
Then I would suggest you rein him in now.
Aren't any younger people interested in politics than all the old dinosaurs
Please, I what else did you exspect from a mean spirited disrespectful person like Trump? You and others are responseable for Trumps actions this day forward.
Notice she said 'evidence.' Not presumptions, guesses or fortune telling.
Ya know, the ironic thing is, SenatorCollins probably voted with Trump to save her from being primaried, but it's gonna end up costing her, her job anyway in the general. Coward.
Too late again, Suzy-Q! Byyyyyyyyyeee!!!!
Thank you, character actress Margo Martindale
She betrayed her oath and her conscience. She knew he broke the election laws and she has to live with it. I am most disappointed in the Senators who voted to save their own power and position but could see he was guilty.
.SenSusanCollins pretends she’s disappointed or whatever, but we all know she knows exactly what’s going on. She knows that Trump is a vindictive traitorous twit and yet she still supports him 💯. I don’t know what’s more nauseating, her fake outrage or her fake patriotism.
Fake crocodile tears SenatorCollins
Then why did you defend that vengeful m...f☠️😱
Blah blah blah bye Felicia!
You are such a phony Collins
Hypocrite! You are opposed to retribution by this orange guy yet you enabled him by keeping him in office. You need to be voted out of office this November !
She must be “concerbed” again?
If they stop this stupid nonsense and this country doesn't have to hear the witnesses fake lie filled testimony anymorecletvthem be!
SenatorCollins - This is all on you and your fellow GOP cowards. SenateGOP executed a coverup for Trump and effectively moved to the USA away from democracy to fascism. HistoryWillRemember CorruptGOP TrumpFascism
Well this is what you’ve enabled. Congrats.
'Evidence'
She's at it again. Disappointed is her middle name.
Who freakin CARES what Collins thinks?
Senator, 2 killed and a couple wounded in an attack a few hours ago. You could have changed that. We will remind historians to note you as a sellout. You have Kremlin interests instead of America.
Even if it was clearly hearsay or opinion? That sort of 'evidence' is not allowed in the courtroom, why is it allowed in and used as a basis for impeachment by the House?
You Blew it gave Trump a pass you are just like him!
And obviously we expect the good people of Maine to do the right thing and vote you out.
But she keeps voting in support of the guy who is. Just not too bright.
With all SINCERITY SenSusanCollins, can go FHS.
Too late
SenatorCollins has failed the American people over and over with her willful ignorance and hand wringing. Vote her out! VoteThemAllOut2020
“DOUBLETHINK means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
Bullschiff....
Senator it’s a little late to think of this now, after you betrayed your Oath and the law. I believe it is referred to as.( enabling ). A Job well done! God Bless America.
Too late.
She needs to retire. She grasps to hold her office and doesn’t seem honest anymore.
Obviously she isn’t opposed! She voted to acquit and knew what would happen. We have seen it before.
Hmmmm. Apparently too late ... and transparently self-serving ... oh, and (need I say?) moronic. Disgusting.
What a fucking joke.
Weak. WEAK.
More 'Too little too late.'👎🏾👎🏼👎😝
Smh sooooo fukin dumb
Talk is cheap, you need to walk the walk and stand up for the right and defend our constitution.
Why do you guys keep listening to liars?
You obviously saw this coming
So scary . What’s she going to do ? Write an email and leave it in her drafts folder for eternity ?
CNN. Smh 🤦♀️
It’s a little late now SenatorCollins
Too late, Ma'am.
Somebody please tell this lady that she has a powerful vote in the senate and it is through that vote that she has to express her concerns and opposition, not lip service. I mean she always looks like she doesn’t know this basic fact.
Too little. Too wrong. Too late
DHM) Susan, if you contradict your Boss, causing, distractions, disruption,& are consistently insubordinate to orders & policy, how do you expect to correct, that type of behavior. “Get on the ball, or get on the boat”. You will be shipped out.
No shit CNN for the hard hitting news Emmy 🖕
Susan Collins when you fail to uphold truth and Justices, you are in the other way saying injustices should prevail, and that's the result of what you are complaining of. Now in US when you speak the truth, you are fired, when you stand up for justices, you are labeled a bad guy
Is it?
All of you act cowardly no excuses!!!
Too late.
Susan Collins voice and nervous demeanor is annoying. She’s spineless too!!!!
Coward
You were not in favor of the truth. So get used to it…
Shame on your spineless vote.
Susan Collins admitting there was evidence. Knowing that, still acquitted Trump, therefore violated her oath of office and the oath she took in front of all Americans, as a trial juror. She's partTrump the Trump rot. Everything he touches turns to rot. Ooooh
So, she's asked Congress to look into it as the beginning of another impeachment inquiry, right?
She should’ve not helped with that get out of jail free card! She should’ve stood for what’s right like Mitt Romney.
Too. Late. Still happy with your 'not guilty' vote. Only the beginning..
What evidence.
If SenatorCollins is that ignorant to believe there would be no retribution, SHAME ON HER! Pathetic!!!!!
Blah blah blah
She is a HYPOCRITE and a COWARD !!! She says one thing and does another !!! She needs to step down !!!
You can sell Susan Collins 'MARS' and she would buy it. what the hell did she expect along with the other idiots who call themselves GrownUps
What evidence?
SenatorCollins is an idiot. Has she somehow missed who Donald Trump is and always has been ? Vote her OUT !!! Maine realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse GOP SenateGOP
TTBO
Bull, you stood back and let it happen SenatorCollins
.SenatorCollins Prove it. L O L
Well Susan...looks like you're going to do the same thing about this, as you did when you sold your soul because you're afraid of Trump. Nothing. Not surprised.
He’s learned the despicable socialists will stop at nothing to destroy our country! What do think he should learn?
November is coming! I'm sure she's not in favor of retribution.
Just zip it, little girl. You had your chance to take a stand. But. You. Didn’t.
There was no evidence, just speculating
I’m not sure how obvious it is.
She and I have different definitions of evidence. Can someone show me the evidence that Vindman brought before Congress?
2FaceFromRussia
lol
SenatorCollins your actions speak louder than your words.
That's good, but the president can fire or transfer lying, undermining, swamp dwellers all he wants.
Too little too late
Tell me more.
Just shut up you wet noodle, time to move on
Retribution You mean, a guy getting reassigned from a post where he was trying to bring down the president of the United States? You talking about that guy? Or the one who lied under oath
Next she'll be saying that is why she voted against witnesses - didn't want to see them hurt. 🙄
Sure she must have known though.
SenatorCollins are you fucking kidding me
Sure, sure. She says this but she really doesn't care. SenatorCollins is as bought and paid for as all the rest.
She is absolutely infuriating.
Yeah! After the damage has been done by the corrupt Republican Senators!
What a bold stance she has taken. Her colleagues are in awe of her moral fortitude, and are reportedly doing shots in her honor.
SenatorCollins coffevee...realDonaldTrump
Grow up. Everyone except you knew this was coming SenSusanCollins
Too late for that SenatorCollins
Yes... obviously.
Susan Collins should just shut up. You are complicit. You had the opportunity to vote against Trumps criminal behavior. What did you think Trump would do? Why are they still thinking Trump is normal? He is a heartless thug & proves it everyday.
She's gonna have loads of time to be concerned about stuff when she's voted into obscurity.
Well gee that will stop it...
SenSusanCollins you are clearly low I.Q if you didn't see this coming. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Such courage and integrity: After voting to pardon the criminal scumbag, she would be disappointed if a mass purge was carried out. Never fear, witnesses! Susan Collins has your back, and you can trade the value of her word for a 2% discount on one cup of coffee at Starbucks.
She is gutless, shameless and a trump sucker. Vote her out. VOTE BLUE!
Not sure who that is obvious to senator collins.
Where is Spineless Susan’s muzzle? No one cares what she has to say.
She opposes and enables it! Good job, senator and I did not capitalize it in your dishonor.
Then why does she allow it? Talk is cheap
What evidence? You and your GOP cronies refused to allow any evidence to be presented.
So will you actually DO something about the retribution taken against the witnesses by Trump, Senator Collins!? 🤔 Like so many Republicans, she’s always against Trump’s shameful actions and yet never actually DOES anything about them. 😒
Great, there are words coming out of her mouth. She's not going to do a dang thing about this, though.
How’s your ratings CNN? Haha
She gave him free rein
You sold your soul.
I know I know, she’s “deeply disappointed “ no wait she’s “deeply concerned “ I’m sure he’s terrified she’s going to shake her head at him
This is how disconnected & delusional politicians are. No one in any field wld allow someone who betrayed thr trust to stay working within their inner circle especially POTUS. BTW- was not fired, was re-assigned, remains in military and his rank was unaffected.
She's a weasel
She’s a turd waiting to be flushed.
Collins continues to be a fool...
You deserve to not be re-elected and go straight to retirement home
CNN the corrupt news network. Shut up. Nobody cares what your opinion is.
She is a great lairer, she have stupid ignorant explanations about the impeachment because they all worshiping trump every Sunday not GOD the all sold their soul to trump to keep power but GOD is more trump and all of you together
Obviously. Oy.
courage
Blah, blah, blah.
She’s a trumpet.
She is opposed to using her brain and thinking for herself.
You acquitted him! What evidence?!
She's failed herself.
Too late, SenSusanColins. Because the one though you COULD have done to prevent it, you FAILED to do. TooLate
Translation: “better that he retaliated against Vindman than against me.”
Executive or high level military appointees must fall in line or resign.
SenSusanCollins is the worst 'female' senator! She is an embarrassment to all women who have a brain! Shame on whoever's voted for her!
SenatorCollins This retribution only shows you made a mistake by not voting to convict Führer Trump SenFeinstein lisamurkowski SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi No worries...we will take out Mob Boss Donny in the 2020 election. VoteBlueNoMatterWho
JSmithpolitics1 Of course not you were probably paid bags of money just like the rest of the Clinton compound
She is a Trumpee
Banality of evil .... she plays for an audience ....
SenatorCollins
Maine’s disgrace
Susan, you made his retribution possible. Shame on you. You didn’t do your duty to America.
So whatcha gonna do now, SenatorCollins ?
Sure now you realize err of your vote useless time to retire!
Leaking should get a person fired. We know without a doubt Vindman is the leaker!
Bitch, please.
Or lying cheats that did not do their job, like you?
Your vote in the impeachment process guaranteed that this would happen.
Right Except there was no evidence!
Obviously.
Hey SUSAN. There was NO EVIDENCE. Just lies and innuendo and supposition. If one of YOUR employees lied about you to cause you harm, would you still want to employ them? Think on it. Then retract your silly statement.
Susan, you and all the Senators that voted to acquit knowing Pres. Trump was guilty are all moral cowards. You have kowtowed to a wannabee Imperial Pres. that is not fit for the office and you hurt America in doing so!
s_2_th_honda Collins has been clutching her pearls so tightly that they have turned into chain links.
Oh let me find out “she’s deeply disturbed”. This woman is pitiful!
You obviously don't deserve to serve the people of Maine, SenatorCollins. voteherout resist
How ya feeling now senator? Thanks for nothing.
And how many people reading this are stupid enough to believe her?
s_2_th_honda SenatorCollins is as useless as a bucket with a hole in the bottom.
It is obvious? I can't see it
SenatorCollins, your days in office are numbered.
Ooh but he has learned his lesson NOT
Seriously!!!! A little too late don’t you think
Too late he already started
He really learned his lesson, yup.
Since when?
What are you prepared to do SenatorCollins ?
Sure, Susie. Until Supreme Leader tells you you are, and then you are. I call bullshit.
You have betrayed the constitution and the American people. Hopefully, your constituents will vote you out ASAP. It’s too late as you have made your position to support a lying facist dictator upon our lost Republic. Shame on you!
So I will clutch my pearls, be “concerned “ and ...do...nothing!
Please get her out of office
Too little, too late stupid!
Stop quoting this lying coward.
Too little too late. She had the chance to do the right thing and she chose not to.
Highlighting the insipid weakness of senators who couldn’t find the moral fortitude or backbone to honestly fulfill their oaths to be impartial witnesses, caving in to the intimidation of McConnell, etc, &their deal w the White House, rather than defend democracy &their country.
No its NOT obviously susan!
Girl give up, you done voted for hem
Her favor interests no one. Trump doesn’t listen to anyone. He takes revenge whenever he can. Threw his own lawyer under the bus. She’s such a tool.
SHE IS SO FULL OF SHIT!!!
Really Susan?
Firing someone is not retribution. It's called drawing the swamp. Duh.
To bad - you own this SenatorCollins
Rymes with punt.
Too little, too late. People of Maine, do your thing!
She can't be THIS naive. Is she just stupid? Or did she con us all?
Get rid of her !!
WELL GUESS WHAT SUSAN THATS WHAT REPUBLICANS DO NOW! TURNS OUT IF YOU GIVE THE CONTROLS TO AN AMATEUR THE PLANE CRASHES! TOO BAD FOR ALL OF US.
Weak!!!
What did she think would happen? Has SenatorCollins been sleepwalking this whole time?
He sure did learn his lesson, didn’t he?
What was Nancy P doing when she ripped up the papers during the S of U speech. Talk about vindictive.........not only to DJT but to the country she allegedly loves......I don’t know what to think..
Shut up, Susan!!
SenatorCollins Do you believe that moving Vindman out of his role with the NSC, when he doesn’t believe in his policies and actively tried to turn others against those policies, qualifies as “retribution”? Of course it doesn’t!!! It’s wise and right!!!! Don’t go all PC here!
U voted not to impeach corrupt Trump knowing be is a LOSER and will go after anyone who went against him. NOW live with it and see America getting destroyed
What did you expect from your leader? Wait til he turns on you.
Does she really expect us to believe she didn’t know he’d behave like the petty, vindictive child that he is?
Your appeasement of this dictator is the exact same as Chamberlain isn the 1930’s. You and your republican colleagues in the senate had a chance to do the right thing ....history will not judge you kindly cheapentertainment
Neither am I. I am however against any President keeping someone in his inner circle who tells other countries to disregard what his says.
SenatorCollins Are you ready to Impeach trump for Abuse of Power yet?
Too late Suze. You had your chance and you FAILED. So done with you.
Susan Collins flip flops as though she attended trump university of liars.
susanktroxell So what are you going to do about it!!! Clutch more pearls? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Well we all knew that’s the way he plays, so you definitely should have known.
Shame on you. I hope the next election you are voted out. You do not deserve a seat at any table!
Who says it was retribution? Did you make stuff up again? SenatorCollins
Is she awake
So much for, he has learned his lesson!
Truth speaks
OMG Susan. Are you kidding. What did you expect. Is that why you acquitted fear of retribution from your monster
Didn’t stop you from voting to allow him to stay in office to carry out his reign of revenge. Collins is complicit. She is the cover up.
Wow! Check mate
Dear God if Maine doesn't vote her ass out I'm going to lose it!
SenatorCollins shut up no one cares that your conscience won’t let you sleep at night. “your name will be tied to his with a cord of steel and for all of history “ RepAdamSchiff
Quit it. Just, quit it. Susan Collins is not a rebel or an outlier.
Why do you bother interviewing this woman? She is a bald-faced liar. SenatorCollins TedraCobb
not in favor of? not in favor of? Strong words Susan
In the mob world that Trump lives in squealers are taken care of.
Thanks for nothing
She's 'against' it, but she WOULD vote FOR it!! DON'T vote for her. Coward SusanCollins SenSusanCollins
She knew the creep would do it if she let him.
Yeah, but she believed, hoped he would change. Good grief!
SenSusanCollins that is why we needed witnesses. All evidence released and a fair trial. The Senate GOP have created someone who is acting like an absolute monarch. Shame on you.
Is she 'disappointed' again...?
Too late dear!! Way too late.
..COWARDLY...SHIVERING..YES MAN. ..TWO FACED TOO.
It’s not retribution, it’s common sense. He was a leaker
Yeah. You should have voted FOR the Impeachment. Too little too late.
No one believes you anymore Susan. Just go.
Who cares. He can do what he wants now
Who cares? Why do you even give this do-nothing has-been a platform?

As if his retribution comes as a surprise to anyone!
It’s getting rid of employees that are against your policies...it’s called following the law idiots
She has got to go!
Time to drain the swamp. Bye bye corrupt politicians
Blowhard ...... too little too late .... monster is outta the cage
I see how this could be viewed as retaliation, but Vidman made it clear he didn’t support Trump’s foreign policy. Therefore, how can he be counted on in the future! And, Secretary Esper said Vindman didn’t lose his career, just given a job at the Pentagon without retaliation.
Oh well. You created the monster in the White House, and you had a chance to stop him and didn’t
Oh really, is that what she said? Well I'm rubber And ur glue...
and what, exactly, did you think your president would do next? people: contribute to/vote for sara gideon for senate: Maine 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸
Idc what she says. She made her vote and these are the results of keeping him in office. So what she says doesn't mean shit to me.
Now you realize what a mistake you made. We tried to tell you
Big laier..
Who cares what you think you betrayed our Country and our Constitution...you are just as guilty as Trump!!!
But he probably learned his lesson right SenatorCollins ? You’re a disgrace
How is this the smartest person you could find to represent Maine? A half eaten lobster would show better judgement
LOL SenatorCollins
Susan did you think trump was going to let this go?
What did she expect?
Zero intuition.
Come on Maine Republican voters can you say primary. Time to replace this progressive phony
And what exactly is she going to do about it? Talk is cheap SenatorCollins especially when it comes from you.
She is a clown and has always been one
SenatorCollins is as guilty as trump. She voted emphatically in favor of retribution cover up corruption etc
Susan his a sad old woman who needs to retire.
Too little, too late, susie! You’re such a hypocrite!
I think we've heard enough from her. We are not her opportunity for catharsis. ActBlue has a new fund raiser going to help elect the opponents of the GOPCowards. I tossed in $25. Totally worth it, imo.
Ancient Rome, worse aspects
LMFAO
Unlike LindseyGrahamSC, at least SenatorCollins is consistent. Unfortunately she is consistently weak and non confrontational with zero follow through. Such a disappointing lack of leadership given her clear views. (and oath)
You hear that, Maine? Collins is clueless. Vote her out in November.
Not retribution- he replaces weasels!
SenatorCollins save it. You’re a disgrace.
Hollow Soul
I hope they vote her out of office. She’s washed up.
Too late, crocodile tears. replaceSusanCollins
How the hell can she look in the mirror everyday?
LOL … you made your bed, Snoozy Susie, now you're going to have to lay in it … as the voters take retribution against you … you weren't that popular to be of consequence. … What are your career plans after politics? … And be sure to send the Ornageman a 'Thank you' card.
Why are we still interviewing this liar weasel? She made her call & rolled the dice. She is done. Her job is over. Move on- fear & groveling although expected with this type of traitor is still unattractive to witness over and over and over again. SusanCollinsMustBeReplaced
Oh obviously... she voted to keep him IN. So it is OBVIOUS she didn’t care. If she didn’t know what the average Joe already knew... she’s got bigger, more delusional problems that we thought!
Why do we care?
Maybe Pelosi and Collins can get a TV show called the Nancy and Susan Show where they can pretend to be political rivals and in the end bake cookies for the audience.
Now you know what everyone knew , Trump is a despicable person
I thought he learned his lesson according to her.
Well, you obviously allowed it and helped it along, so your wishes now are useless. You own this, and everything else POTUS does now. Hope it costs you your job.
This is what you call liberal and political 'clueless'
Nor does any sane civil person however much like business when there is upper management change the subordinate staff performing subpar, subversively or in a manner inconsistent with the new management goals should and must be changed.
You were just against any one that could bring more evidence or more documents we get it!!
SenatorCollins ... are you troubled? Are you disappointed? Are you concerned? Those just don’t cut it anymore.
Does she have the least clue how irrelevant she’s made herself. She created the monster then “has concerns” when it attacks the villagers. Smh. Is she naive or just condescending?
Too little too late
America....make it count in November....
She certainly knows how to demonstrate 'concern' while lying through her teeth.
She makes me sick with her “concern” and “disapproval” of Trumps actions but doesn’t care enough to do anything beyond words. A great example of why I won’t call myself a Republican again until they grow a spine.
Liar!
I bet you're sorry you said that.
Please quit covering this woman. She is a broken record and nothing new to report. She toes the party line. End of story.
No but you allowed it by not voting to convict you’re just as responsible as he is!
SenatorCollins Your words mean nothing. Your ACTIONS told everyone all they need to know.
Too late, you cowardly c__t. (Rhymes with runt)
Well... maybe you should go tell him again how you think he’s learned his lesson... this time time tell him you are “really serious”... that should do it
Yeah it's not obvious at all since this retaliation was so predictable.
Nothing is obvious with Republicans or the current regime in power of the US.
Just want to keep your peeps close to your enemy, Trump. Swamp beeeoch.
She's opposed to retaliation and deeply concerned about it, but won't do a damn thing about it. COWARD!
SenatorCollins she’s just like Charlie Brown’s teacher—
She is Full of it.
What you going to do about it? You useless Senator!
It’s a little late now. Your having convenient moment of conscience.
SenatorCollins What evidence? Opinions are opinions thanks for yours. Now consider how under siege this administration has been since day one. Elections have consequences. Who said that? ...I digress.
and soon she'll say she's opposed to any FURTHER retribution against impeachment witnesses
Delete this as Collins once again obviously equivocating in a way that she thinks will advantage her with her consituents when in fact she is lying - the person you headline quote is lying in the headline.. Yes, it's difficult these days, but really? ReliableSources
Please retire.
But I will follow trump anyway
well then maybe you should have allowed witnesses Susan.
That and $10 will get you a latte.
Undermining foreign policy is okay?
Did anyone accidentally sneeze when she said that and the sneeze sounded like the word “bullshit”? Just curious.
Wow, are you surprised?
FUN FACT: Susan Collins' brother played Inbred Banjo Boy in the movie Deliverance.
We weren’t in favor of being lied about and yet we were lied about. Is their anything you’re in favor for that benefits this administration? You’re not in favor for anything that is right and yet you expect us to do what is right and show grace without you being gracious.
It’s not obvious! No one knows what you stand for, except yourself and your power. You have no integrity, just another republican sell out
You should just stop talking Susan Collins
Oh Susan... what did you expect? Honestly.... 😒
SenatorCollins You’re not In favor of retribution? Wait till November.
Obviously.
And yet you voted to acquit..huh....
She’s a phony
Not what happened here so that is irrelevant. Vindman serves on the NSC at the pleasure of the president. Same thing with Sondland as Ambassador. Trump is not pleased with them. So they go. That’s how it works. This isn’t complicated.
Susan Collins is a wishy-washy. Politician Who talks like the wind blows. She needs to lose her seat in Congress. With her confirmation for sex offender Brett Kavanaugh to the high court, She showed extremely poor judgment.
🖕 Susan Collins
why do people even care what susan collins thinks? she's a republican. she votes with republicans. she's not going to magically develop a spine anytime soon.
Yeah, sure, and I'll take her 'not in favor' and $4 and get a cup of coffee.
We don't need to hear anything more out of her yap. Hopefully the Maine voters will take care of her come November.
To late for this you had in your hands to stop what was going on but you didn’t. So I guess it will be up to the people to get rid of the GOP in the November election. You will be sorry for your decision.
You ruined your legacy for what!!..unfortunate!
She own her thoughts and big mouth
What did you think was going to happen, Senator Collins? It’s like you haven’t been paying attention.
When you have people using their position to harm you, you clean house. It's pretty simple.
The Vindman twin Brothers We're groomed from birth by the Russians to infiltrate America and to destroy us from within by dividing us. They are traitors. It just hasn't been proven yet.
Now what SenatorCollins When people show you who they are believe them.
A quintessential example of too little, too late.
Well if she and a few others would have Impeached trump she wouldn’t have had to say this. She’s one of McConnells sheep and needs to be gone!
You've lost any pretence to the moral high ground. You had you're chance. Shame on you.
But she still voted against removing the crook
Yet SenatorCollins constantly enables the president with her lack of spine
Susan again - “OOOOOOOOPS?”
SenatorCollins nothing is obvious when it’s comes to your political decisions. you are one of the people responsible for 45’s retributions. you will go down in history as a disappointment and an enabler.
Senator Collins, this is exactly what you acquitted a man whom YOU KNOW doesn’t belong in that office of the presidency. Yes, u acquitted him to continue the narcissistic & unlawful paths he’s been taking all these years. Thank u for being his ENABLER!!! Now u can sleep well!!!
You were in favor of acquitting your president so Im sorry but I don’t believe you now.
What about those who only came forth with their opinions like Vindman?
coward CowardlyGOP
SenatorCollins you are obviously for the guy doing it. You and your opinions on anything are irrelevant.
She can't handle her position. Needs to resign.
“Obviously,” she says.
When is she ever going to draw a line in the sand? Always talking about how this or that “disappointed” her or how she’s “opposed.” Wtf is she going to do about it 🤔
A little late.
How could they be trusted in the future to handle top security information?
Save it SenatorCollins No one is listening to you ride the fence any more. You had a chance to make a difference!
SenatorCollins I’m sure you’re “disappointed” once again. And once again it’s all talk, no action whatsoever.
Then you owe Lt. COLONEL VINDMAN and his Brother a very big APOLOGY.
SENATOR COLLINS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS VETERAN GETTING FIRED!!! YOU MADE IT POSSIBLE BECAUSE YOU DID NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!!TruthMatters BlueTsunami2020
SenatorCollins sorry your VOTES say you ARE for retribution for impeachment.
Problem is, Vindman had ZERO EVIDENCE
Sorry Susie, you wouldn’t trust that person to continue working on your staff either.
Zero honor. She’s a total zero.
Too late.
Huh really? Didn’t see this coming?
Gutless senator
Too late. You know what you did. Shame on you, by toeing your party line you are as much to blame for the vindictive behavior of the white house as anyone.
well, obviously EndlesslyDissapointedSusanCollins, YOU ARE IN FAVOR of vindictive corrupt dictator-wannabes - you had the opportunity, as did 51 other complicitGOP, to stop this. You hid. Take a look at Romney's & Doug Jones' speaking about their vote, doing what is RIGHT.
Pike SenSusanCollins
Please don't get all crazy and furrow your brow, Sen Collins
So leaking and lying is fine. This is the problem they know nothing and mouth off before informing themselves
Ok Lucy with the football.😡
If only there were some way Senators could vote to hold a President responsible for abusing his power.
What’s obvious is your wasting your vote.
Why would that be obvious
This woman has straddled the fence so much she is bow legged. Get her out!
The only obvious thing here, Susan, is the fact that you are unfit for office.
She has no idea what she’s opposed to. Or any idea at all.
Too late....vote her out
SenatorCollins, this is what you votes in favor of. RepAdamSchiff begged you not to. But here we are.
Who cares what Collins says? She’s always wrong!
If you were the one that was being targeted you may have different thoughts.
What are you doing about it?
BREAKING: Senator that ok'd the snake in the chicken coop says everything's fine because the snake told her he's vegan.
Yet you had an opportunity to do something about it and passed. Coward
That’s good because nobody came forward with evidence. They came forward with hearsay and exaggerations. Therefore they were leakers and deserved to be removed from their positions
I call BS!
FOOLS, the President has a staff. His choice to appoint or dismiss anyone at anytime. CNN is always reporting lies.
She's concerned.
Complicit!!!
No, it's really not obvious when you continue to support trump SenatorCollins
Colins is naive or grossly incompeten or a liar. No matter the answer, she must be defeated. Vote SaraGideon!
🤦🏼♀️ as if she didn’t see this coming
When she’s President she can make that decision
What the heck did you think your cult leader would do?
By virtue of acquitting him, please you’ve “opened a can of worms.” Just look at his actions since he’s acquitted. He’s not shown any contrition and he’s firing left right and center and looking to settle scores with those who’ve apposed him during the impeachment hearings.-:))
SenSusanCollins huh.... so will you speak up? Or still be cowardly?
SenatorCollins needs to tell how this is learning a lesson CowardlyGOP RightMatters GOPComplicitTraitors GOPCoverup
Um liar liar liar
Shut up you are just a faithful servant
What evidence?
SenatorCollins why do you continue to not take action when you know the behavior won’t change? Trump retaliating is a surprise to no one. Keep allowing the dictator to run wild.
Well say something then.
She’s AWFUL She’s AWFUL She’s AWFUL
Susan Collins is for something until it's time to vote. Then she isn't. I thought she didn't believe any of those people had evidence?
You had a chance to slow him down and you cowered, go away
This woman is the picture of cowardice. Vote. Her. Out.
Key word being “evidence”. (Which their wasn’t any)
Hope you aren't 'concerned' or 'troubled' by this.
She didn’t just allow this to happen, she is complicit in backing a draft dodger against a Purple Heart recipient. Does the state of Maine support this kind of cowardly representative?
She had her chance not to enable her Supreme Leader. Does anyone really believe Trump has learned a lesson? Im very dissapointed
Do she should have voted to get rid of the stench in the WH.
A lawmaker who lack foresight. Not a good fit. Vote her out.
SenatorCollins You suck! Let’s get to the root of this criminal coop! We demand justice and an FBI that isn’t corrupt!!!
You voted for this Miss He Learned his Lesson! TrumpIsGuilty and you violated your oath. History will be harsh but ME voters will have their vengeance like the Country on RepublicanPartisanCoverUp
Too late! You released the wild dog.
Coward chicken
Is she shocked and disappointed
Too late Susan
Strong statement
Does anyone believe anything this horrible excuse for a human says? She’s a quivering wet dog in fear of Trump’s boot.
I’ve never heard so many back flipping comments like I’ve heard from Collins post impeachment vote...she should work an IHOP with all these backflips.
Please vote her out! I dont even want to see her in the news again!
Dumb as a box of rocks.
Not her call...
Do better, Maine. Get rid of this waste of a Senate seat.
Why are we giving this trash so much attention lately?
Too bad
It’s to late now Susan. You’ve already sold your soul to the devil
How about CNN? Will they pay for the harm they have done with 24/7 lies for over 3 years? Tell your provider you want them out of your house!!!! Why pay people to insult you?
Careful toadie or you might find yourself standing trumplican sycopant society
If they don’t follow protocol then they should be punished
Too late. You had your chance to make things right. You failed.
Too late to bitch about it now, lady. All you GOP knew how horrible realDonaldTrump was and is today. Resistance2020 ResistanceReady Election2020 Vote2020
SenSusanCollins you are a day late and a dollar short. You own this.
This who you support..Shame on you. Trump has no shame..
Not obvious
Strong words from milquetoast.
SenatorCollins you knew what would happen. And you voted to acquit.
dictator trump!!!
Support her opponent SaraGideon
She knew he was going to retaliate.
Useless
Sorry, Susan. You own that now.
Obviously 🙄
I always wondr why journalists ask questions with an obvious answer. Da...like she was going to say that it is good to fire them.There are better questions to ask this two face
Whatever COWARD sit down in the corner where you belong
Remeber when Susan Collins stood for truth, justice and the Constitution? Me either. Good job joke, though.
I’m sure she is concerned. 🙄
Oh really? What did you think would happen when you voted NO WITNESSES? When you voted 2 acquit? Are you really that misinformed? If you really felt this way, you would have voted with Romney. A true American who defended our Constitution & Democracy as per the oath. YOU FAILED!
Susan needs to get her head on straight and stop playing games.
Then ... what are you going to do about it
Well you should have found him guilty then cause it has been obvious that is who trump is all along.
SusanCollins boo! 👎 Ruled for WorstPresidentEver
Well then SenatorCollins what are you going to do about it? ComplicitCorruptGOP
REALLY?! GO AWAY YOU SPINELESSFRAUD!
Then why didn't you listen everyone around you that if you didn't find trump guilty this would happen?
Vote her out!!!
Does she understand she's responsible for it?
Save it SenatorCollins
Her actions say otherwise.
is she...disappointed?
Your actions have consequences; you were in a position of power, and you blew it. Sorry Vindman and Sondland and the MORAL MAJORITY for Trump and GOP
SenSusanCollins you had an opportunity to stand up and draw a clear line, you choose to not to. Anything you say now just sounds like noise to me.
Stop giving this cowardice liar press. She makes Jeff Flake look like he has a spine.
Hahaha. Did she say that with a straight face?
Oops!
Is there a more useless and inert person in politics?
Evidence sure but LIES NO! Since lies was pretty much all we got then hell yea fire the Swamp Dwellers!
She's a devout Republican, why do you pretend as if she's different!
It’s obviously not her call, but she should have seen this coming.
Reassigning and firing usurpers is not retribution it's a matter of national security. They are at will employees. Vindman should be outright terminated from government service.
Sit down somewhere Sue you sit on the fence to much for me.
You are embarrassing yourself. Please don’t run for re-election
SenatorCollins must be REALLY troubled right now
Too late.
Obviously.
Ah the classic “not in favor.” You don’t get much more non-confrontational than that. She needs to pick a damn side and stick with it the whole time.
SenatorCollins no one cares what you think anymore. Give notice on your DC apartment. Senate is being purged this election. CorruptGOP
Weak - Maine needs to do their job and vote this handwringer out.
Her level of oblivious is truly unparalleled
He admitted he leaked classified info to other people. He said they had clearance but, that sounds a little fishy when he can’t identify them.
