Members of Maine GOP state committee condemn Sen. Susan Collins' vote to convict Trump

Members of the Maine Republican Party state committee are condemning "in the strongest possible terms" Republican Sen. Susan Collins' vote to convict former President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial this month -- another sign of the backlash against lawmakers who bucked Trump, but one that may not have immediate impact given that Collins just won a fifth term.

"We vehemently disagree with your vote on this matter and condemn it in the strongest possible terms," members of the committee -- including the state party's chair and vice chair -- wrote in a letter to Collins posted to Facebook on Wednesday, adding that they had heard from Mainers all over the state who were "almost universally outraged at this action and have demanded we take action in response."

The letter comes in the wake of local reports that the committee was weighing a formal censure of Collins for her decision to find Trump guilty of inciting an insurrection. The Maine GOP did not reply to CNN's multiple requests for comment, including whether the committee was planning on censuring Collins.

I am not sure I understand your statement. Paul LePage is not a member of the U.S. Senate. Did you mean Angus King?

-- "Independent" LePage voted to convict Trump in his last impeachment. --

I think you've mixed up LePage (a good guy, not in office right now) with Angus King. King is not a good guy.
