Collins: Bannon's rhetoric about McConnell 'not helpful'
The Hill ^ | October 15th, 2017 | By Mallory Shelbourne

Posted on 10/15/2017 11:15:03 AM PDT by Mariner

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said Sunday that former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon's rhetoric about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is “not helpful.”

“This is not helpful or appropriate at all. Obviously Mr. Bannon has the right to support whomever he wants to support,” Collins told ABC’s “This Week.”

“But I think his rhetoric is exactly what the American people are tired of. They don’t want this hyperpartisanship. They want us to work together and they want us to get things done.”

Bannon has vowed to challenge the Republican establishment in the 2018 midterms and put up primary challengers against GOP senators.

Collins slammed Bannon’s “over the top rhetoric” about McConnell as “not helpful.”

We’ll have to see how it plays out.

I agree that the central problem is Congress.

I’ve never seen anything like it.

Whatever she paid the consultancy for that line, it was a fraud.

She should ask for her money back.


I don’t think Chuckie Schumer will return the money.

Bannon: Collin’s votes in the Senate not helpful. Mitch just a placeholder stalling progress until democrats take over.

See, Susan Collins of this world (btw, when is it ever going to happen that Maine voters got tired of this old hag as the rest of the country has?) does not understand they have only LIMITED time to do something substantial and what voters wanted. To them, it is DC business as usual, wheeling and dealing, everything and everybody is peachy.

Tell me again, what is the point of electing a Republican majority in both houses?

10 months later, what do they have to show for any major policy change from a Democrat-controlled Congress?
