The overwhelming anger at Susan Collins has crashed the CrowdPac website

[Ms. Toad]

7. Yes.

Had she made a simple statement suggesting she had weighed everything carefully - perhaps she could have survived.

But she went out of her way to paint Dr. Blasey Ford (to some extent) and the other accusers (especially) as mistaken - at best, or liars - at worst - cherry-picking facts that satisified a narrow definition of corroboration and ignoring the other fact (including Kavanaugh's own calendar) that served as corroboration to any reasonable person. I was interrupted by my students - but unless I missed it, she did not even address his judicial temperament or his lies. Then she wrapped this abomination in a patriotic speech about the integrity of a judicial system that Kavanaugh was unable to adhere to - even long enough to be confirmed.

I am on the national governing board of a lobbying group that has honored Collins for her bipartisan work on issues central to the work of that group. Based on my experience with her as part of that group, I expected better.
