Grassley pledges to raise $3M for Collins after Kavanaugh fight

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) promised to raise $3 million to support Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to counteract anger over her vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

"I'm going to help raise $3 million to match that," Grassley told Marth MacCallum during an interview on Fox News Tuesday, when asked what he thought of a fundraising effort against Collins in Maine that has raked in about $3 million.

Collins has come under fire from many on the left for supporting Kavanaugh in a narrow confirmation vote, who was accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford and other women.

The Judicial Crisis Network is already spending 6 figures to run advertisements for her now!

Supreme Court rulings allow endless amounts of money to wash over Republicans. They will be drowning in money.

She's a massive pile of lies and contradictions: Votes both ways on everything.

Anything she can claim as an attribute is hated by one side, or the other, because she thinks she can play both sides at the same time.

At some point, no one will back her!
