Susan Collins says she's "appalled" by Trump's tweet criticizing Christine Blasey Ford.

Collins said it's reasonable for Kavanaugh's confirmation vote to be delayed to allow Ford to testify Wednesday or Thursday and "make it as comfortable as possible."

1. But not appalled enough to do anything about it..

Miss me with all that fake outrage..

[blueinredohio]

19. Amen to that Hitchcock. She'll vote along with the masses.

[Afromania]

36. There you go

[apnu]

2. ... but she's gonna vote for Kavanaugh anyway. (nt)

[DUgosh]

3. McConnell

Says he has the votes - so she can pretend to be appalled

[Fred Sanders]

22. Well, that was before Shitler could not resist attacking a sexual assault survivor....

the nomination may not have been toast yesterday, but it appears burnt to a crisp today!

[empedocles]

4. 'Not so fast' DUers,

with the Collins beatdowns.

The good Dr. Ford needs all the possible possible help she can get.

[Fred Sanders]

23. Yes...and DUers need to stop saying death threats to Republicans do not matter as much because...?

[Tiggeroshii]

41. Disingenuous comments like hers are unacceptable.

They do not help anybody but the republicans to push a vote through.

[RandySF]

5. Sure she is

[Fred Sanders]

25. Randy, Shitler's tweet today was truly appalling...the straw that broke Collin's back...finally?

Collins surely understands sexual victim psychology on reporting crimes and now Shitler confirms he has no clue...will not sit well with her female voters if she sides with this....man.

6. nice outrage, but she's still voting for Kavanaugh like an obedient Republican nt

[Turbineguy]

7. Appalled.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. Why oh why do people keep re-electing this fraud?! nt

[tanyev]

9. I don't think that word means what you think it means, Susan.

[Ccarmona]

10. So What?

She’s a worthless hypocrite who will vote based on her need to keep her corporate masters happy. She’s been complaining about the grassroots small dollar effort to raise money to donate to her unnamed opponent in 2020.

11. From Frank Schaeffer tweet -

In leering tweets, the Trump contended Ford would have reported her allegations to law enforcement if they were as bad as she said. He should know why she didn't: the same reason the more than 20 women he assaulted were intimidated, bribed and threatened into silence.

(I don't know how to copy tweets)

[steve2470]

14. copy the URL of the tweet and paste it in the body of your post

URL = the address, like htDELETEtps://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/1043185778795454465

Of course, you take out the DELETE when you post it. The tweet automatically displays and hides the address, like this:

32. It worked - as you can see - awesomesauce....tks

Since the Universe has no center, you can’t be it. -

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Wake up, little Susie. What did you expect? You're in a party with some really appalling men.

[Zoonart]

13. So tired of her pearl clutching bullshit routine.

You know, Susan...put up or shut up.

[GoCubsGo]

15. Awwww! Bless her heart!

She's so full of it.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. Bullshit! This is her last hurrah, she and her lobbyist husband don't care about her running again.

[shanny]

18. yeahyeahyeah

she's appalled and concerned and offended by the rumpster...but she will still vote to install this pos protector on scotus

f@ck her

[raccoon]

20. Yeah. She's all talk. Just as Lindsey Graham used to be, before he got into line. nt

[spanone]

21. she should look inward....she would be appalled daily.

[hatrack]

24. So?

Princess of Preordained GOP "Concerned/Troubled" says what?

[bluestarone]

26. If she is so appalled then she should state that

She will vote NO until AFTER the hearing! ( and hearing the facts) appalled my ass!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. She'll vote for Kavanaugh anyhow.

She folds like a cheap lawn chair whenever the other GOPs apply the slightest pressure.

[democratisphere]

28. The GOP redumbliCON political party is hemorrhaging bad blood

and this will not be allowed to stand.

[Meadowoak]

29. I hope she is appalled, when she loses her seat.

[kstewart33]

30. She is a fraud.

So tired of Collins playing the "moderate" game. Back and forth, back and forth, and finally, she votes with Trump.

[Tarc]

34. Is this like, low-key appall? The kind you use to appease your fraudulent "moderate" cred?

Or is it actual, genuine appall, to the point where you will grow a spine and represent your state's citizens for once?

[Polly Hennessey]

35. Oh, the horror.

Clutching pearls while voting to confirm Kavanaugh.

[Faux pas]

37. Oh just shut your pie hole susie,

you're spineless and useless.

[Stinky The Clown]

38. Fuck you suzie. Put up or shut up.

Just shut the fuck up. You’re like Lucy and the football. Only worse.

[QC]

39. She will make a show of wringing her hands and then fall in line

and do as she's told, same as always.

[elias7]

40. It's tough being female and a Republican

Kind of like being a battered wife...

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

42. I recall several times Collins voted to save Obama care

People are pretty quick to trash her on her, but she has voted to with the democrats several times in the past to save things that matter to us. I don't think she's necessarily made her mind up. We just have to see how this goes, but is she is a bit more independent than your typical republican. I think the testimony does matter to her. That's my opinion as a Mainer.

[dalton99a]

43. Appalled. Disgusted. Even horrified!

But a Republican must do what every Republican does

[coeur_de_lion]

44. Liar. She will still vote with trump
