Activists target Susan Collins after she seals Kavanaugh vote, call for harassment

Maine senator Susan Collins, a moderate Republican who’s often a swing vote on issues, paved the way for the nominee to the Supreme Court. Sources told Fox News that the confirmation vote of Kavavanaugh is expected to begin between 3:30pm and 4pm Eastern Time. The whole procedure will take up to 20 minutes.

In a fiery and lengthy speech on Friday, Collins explained her decision to support the Kavanaugh’s nomination, slamming the confirmation process that resembled a “caricature of a gutter-level political campaign” and said anti-Kavanaugh outside groups distorted the judge’s record with “over-the-top rhetoric.”

But in the wake of the unsuccessful bid to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation, the activists both on Capitol Hill and on social media began lashing out against Collins and her colleagues.

“Senator Susan Collins is the mother & grandmother of white women in America who gave us a Donald Trump presidency. The 53%,” tweeted Linda Sarsour, a far-left activist and a leader of the Women’s March that branded Collins a “rape apologist” after the speech.

“She is a disgrace & her legacy will be that she was a traitor to women and marginalized communities. History will not treat her kindly.”

“A white woman Senator is talking about presumption of innocence that is never offered to Black men in America. You are watching white supremacy live on the Senate Floor,” Sarsour said even before Collins finished her speech.

Kat Calvin, the founder of anti-voter ID group “Spread the Vote” that claims to be non-partisan, urges people to publicly harass Collins over her voting decision.

“Never let Collins have a moment of peace in public again,” she wrote.

It certainly wasn’t offered to Clarence Thomas.

Play time is over. We need to start sending these people to prison.

sarsour is a worm and a cockroach. She promotes the overthrow of the government, and so must be stripped of citizenship and deported to the muzzy country of my choice.

If we can have hate crimes based on race, sex or religion. We can add political affiliation to the list. These people that single someone out for their political persuasion for harassment should be charged with a hate crime. Of course I realize that if the dems ever get back in charge, they would use this law to march us to the gas chambers.

Now that the target has been painted with a red laser dot, we shall learn if the chanting mob has, first, the gumption to pull the trigger, and second, any ammunition in the chamber.

Fear and intimidation really do work as a short-term tactic, but for a more lasting effect, simple bluffing quickly fails.

And the bluff of the Left has been called out. From all appearances, they were holding a pretty weak hand, and so far, they have not kicked over the table and threatened the whole room with a spray of gunfire.

Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.

These are the people we will either have to kill or drive off from the homeland, sooner or later.

They are rabid and cannot be reasoned with.

They are an existential threat to our existence.

The Dems are a lot like spoiled brats who can't understand that people are fed up with the back-room deals made and are being left out of the process.

For years I've wondered what dirt Pelosi and Reid had on people what would let those two thieves run the show. Also, it's time for an Amendment that would not allow Congress to pass any law that didn't apply equally to them. They even passed a law that lets them do insider trading and we wonder why they are crooked and there's a Deep State.

My suggestion for these pussy hat cult members is to get yourself a white erase board, and some markers. The news is happening so fast, you’re going through a ton of “sign making” expense.

With the white erase boards, you could just rub off the message, and put which ever message Soros sends to you, immediately.

Or, does the term “white” erase boards offend you? Hummmm?

Idiots.

“Kat Calvin, the founder of anti-voter ID group”

My, I guess that this person had little or no problem with David Banner or Richard Kimble even to go across the country under various names and aliases, lol.
