  1. Republican Senator Susan Collins was confronted with hundreds of furious constituents.

    >Republican Senator Susan Collins’s ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday turned into a public shaming as more than 200 protestors gathered to jeer the centrist from Maine.

    >This was Collins’s first public, press conference-style event in her home state in nearly a decade. Video shows the room erupting in boos as she approached the front of the room to cut the ribbon for a new Main Street in Seaport, Maine. The boos eventually turned into chants of “Shame! Shame! Shame!”

  2. > This was Collins’s first public, press conference-style event in her home state in nearly a decade.

    WHY ARE YOU ELECTING PEOPLE LIKE THIS?

  3. Collins is another one that just needs to be followed around and booed for everything she does and says

  4. Do ya still think Trump “learned his lesson”, Collins?

  6. Good start – not a moment of peace for this useless waste.

  7. Dam senators jobs are so easy, you just do nothing say anything and are never held accountable.

  11. This was Collins’s first public, press conference-style event in her home state in nearly a decade. 

    And they still vote for her.

    They got what they deserved.

  12. Side note – House Rep and Trump asslicker Warren Davidson of OH8 is holding a town hall tonight. I notice he updated his RSVP site and now there is an error message instead of a way to sign up to attend.

    I hope he gets booed to oblivion. He’s one of those “Trump Derangement Syndrome” reps who enjoys his very gerrymandered district.

  14. Why are the people who make themselves heard vocally always labeled as protesters, and not simply constituents?

  15. Susan Collins deserves boos every day of her waking life for all the hell she has caused to Americans.

  17. Collins is proof that being passively evil is nearly as annoying as active evil.

  18. Collins shows how difficult it is to unseat an established incumbent in a local/state election even if they aren’t popular.

    I’m sure better options have run against her, but I’m also sure they had fundraising and visibility problems.

  21. Congratulations Susan, you have just discovered the difference between how people treat a hardcore MAGA legislator and a “moderate Republican” who just happens to vote exactly the same way as a hardcore MAGA.

    Which is to say, zero. You got *exactly* the same treatment as [Harriet Hageman](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/gop-rep-heckled-town-hall-015707602.html) and [Elise Stefanik](https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/elise-stefanik-booed-republican-town-halls-trump-unpopular-rcna226095). *And deserved it.*

  22. Cool, let me know when it results in her losing her seat that she’s held since 1997

  23. The only way she will learn her lesson is if Maine doesn’t vote her back in.

    Okay, fine, she may not actually learn from it, but it’ll be a lesson all the same.

  26. The article calls her the “centrist from Maine”. The center of what? Certainly not our country. She is a reliable vote when it’s needed for every evil GOP endeavor. She only votes in opposition when they don’t need her vote in order to give her the illusion of moderation.

  27. One can only assume that this woman watches the news. Christ, read the room. Many people in your state and around the country don’t like you and your policies. Centrist? Nope, not any more. You and your party are ripping up the constitution and breaking laws to make the orange butt barnacle happy and to MAKE MONEY.

    You don’t get a pass lady. Hopefully you will get voted out. TERM LIMITS, right fucking now.

  28. Good, she is disgusting and horrid and a hypocrite. Now vote her out.

  29. Don’t just boo, organize and support!

    Even did an AMA on here the other day

  30. At first I thought she had drowned and I was ok with that.

  32. *”When I asked whether you’d boo, you said you wouldn’t. And I believed you. So why are you booing me? Did you lie to me?”* Moron.

  33. And she kept smiling through it like a fool. 

    Throw this leech to the curb and elect Graham Platner. 

  34. She has been one of trump’s minions from the beginning. She needs to go

  35. As a Mainer, THIS IS THE WAY! She should not feel one moment of comfort, and as soon as we can, vote Graham Platner!

  36. Why the helll would TNR refer to her as a “centrist”. She’s not. She’s MAGA just like the rest of the dirt bags in the GOP.

  37. This piece of shit doesn’t care. She will always vote to help Trump and then say “I didn’t think this was going to happen”

  38. The President of the United States of America is a pedophile. Susan Collins is not concerned.
