Susan Collins's response to Trump's vile racist rant...

https://www.pressherald.com/2019/07/15/sens-king-collins-rep-pingree-rebuke-trump-over-racist-attacks-on-congresswomen/

Snip>

Collins issued a statement early Monday afternoon.

“I disagree strongly with many of the views and comments of some of the far-left members of the House Democratic Caucus – especially when it comes to their views on socialism, their anti-Semitic rhetoric, and their negative comments about law enforcement – but the President’s tweet that some Members of Congress should go back to the ‘places from which they came’ was way over the line, and he should take that down,” Collins said.

except for telling these women to go "back to places from which they came?" She sounds like an abusive spouse: "I only hit you because you make me so angry, if you didn't make me so angry this would not happen." If only these communist sympathizing America hating women would just learn their place, the president would not get so riled up...

And another "socialism" when it's not really socialism. Sometimes law enforcement earns negative comments.

Why not address Donnie's tweet alone without that preamble?
