Collins and Manchin are chumps

If Manchin and Collins were telling the truth now and they really had no idea this would happen, then they’re morons who should not be trusted to operate a manual stapler without eye protection, writes @morninggloria https://t.co/98kPeLz44c

I don’t know about you, but I do not believe Susan Collins or Joe Manchin were fooled. I do believe they desperately want you to believe that they were fooled. I also believe that they’ll find plenty of reporters and columnists willing to accept that they were fooled.

Susan Collins claiming she was “misled” by party-boy Brett Kavanaugh is absurd. She knew and simply caved to pressure. Did not have the courage of her convictions. Her legacy is permanently stained.

“I trusted Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh when they testified under oath that they also believed Roe v. Wade was settled legal precedent," Sen. Joe Manchin (https://t.co/waPScwawdT.) said. https://t.co/NmOxO5Vu26

We should hear from Senators Murkowski, Collins, and Manchin if they believe there should be any consequences at all for misleading members of the US Senate in order to secure a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.

Otherwise Roe’s undoing is their legacy too.

From 2016: Trump was the first candidate for president ever to explicitly vow to appoint SCOTUS justices who would overturn Roe v Wade. That's how he won the support of abortion opponents and evangelicals.

He did what he promised.https://t.co/ciJwlTnN8k

It’s really hard to overstate this moment: there are (at least) 50 Senators who say they would vote for a nationwide abortion right. That would change (at least) tens of thousands of lives in years ahead. But it can’t pass b/c Senate won’t change filibuster https://t.co/JCC2ANLxtC

Good column. Collins needs to accept responsibility for being a chump. Trump said he would pick anti-abortion justices and he did. https://t.co/rLQt9YPf7Z

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me three times, you must be Susan Collins.

“Excuse me, but Collins chose to hear what she wanted to hear. With a campaign for a fifth term just two years away, she opted to believe what was most politically advantageous for her to believe.”
