First off, fuck her:
Sen. Susan Collins said Monday on the Senate floor that she "can not believe that the answer" to the coronavirus crisis from Senate Democrats "is delay, delay, delay. No sense of urgency."
"Never have I seen Republicans and Democrats fail to come together when confronted with a crisis."
"Is that what we’ve come to?" Collins said, criticizing Democrats over the delay.
"We don’t have another day. We don’t have another hour. We don’t have another minute to delay acting."
Thankfully, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D. NY-14) is calling out her bull shit:
Describing Collins’ voting history, AOC tweeted, “@SenatorCollins can keep her crocodile tears. She voted & fought HARD to strip pandemic prep funding. She helped drive the lack of preparation that we had leading up to this. What’s actually disgraceful is her “I’m a Moderate Lady” dance to cover up brutal policies and votes.”
In a separate tweet, AOC noted that Collins voted for the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 and, in 2017, voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — or as AOC describes it, “the GOP tax scam.”
According to Ocasio-Cortez, Collins is “defending an utterly corrupt bill to shower public money on friends and donors. Susan Collins is not a moderate. She just plays one on TV.”
Meanwhile, Collins top opponent, Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon (D. ME), is focused on getting the help for Mainers during this time:
