Susan Collins Condemned by Maine County Over 'Self-Serving' Impeachment Vote Against Trump
Senator Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, has been condemned by a county in her state over her "self-serving" vote to convict former President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial last month.
Collins joined six other Republican lawmakers to vote Trump was guilty for inciting the January 6 assault by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol. Five of the seven Republicans—Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania—have faced censure from their respective states' GOP over their conviction votes. Senator Mitt Romney of Utah has not been censured, and the Maine GOP will consider a censure motion against Collins on Saturday.
Ahead of the state GOP meeting, Maine's Aroostook County Republicans condemned Collins for her vote against Trump. The local Republicans described the Senate trial as "illegal" and blasted Collins' decision as "purely self-serving, vindictive and punitive." The Bangor Daily News first reported the county GOP's censure resolution.
"The Aroostook County Republicans vigorously condemn the vote put forth by Senator Susan Collins in her support leading up to and including the final vote for the impeachment of a former sitting President, President Donald J. Trump, over the incidents that took place at the US Capitol on Jan 6, 2021," the county GOP wrote in its censure resolution against the lawmaker.
