Going for the rape joke was quite a move.
Collins also stated plainly this morning that she believed Kavanugh was not Ford's assailant even though she believes she was assailed. I guess somebody bought the core of the nuts Whelan story.
Yes but then Collins had just days ago gone off the deep end and said she hopes that Kavanaugh will be non-biased, even though he's shown bias consistently, including pushing nutjob conspiracy theories at a hearing related to this nomination. That she ignored his willingness to lie, well people who are ok with that tend to be liars themselves.
Its easy and incredibly dismissive for her say she simply believes both of them. That's what people who aren't interested in the truth say so that they can placate themselves and others for them not giving a shit.
Not only that, but I'm pretty sure they have the ability to get this properly investigated, if nothing more than to prove that they actually do believe Ford, so that they can give her peace of mind. But they've gone out of their way to make sure that won't happen.
Susan Collins is a fraud. Now that she's shown it very clearly with her actions, hopefully the people she represents will indicate how that makes them feel on the ballots.
