Washington (CNN)Sen. Susan Collins said she is "appalled" by a tweet from President Donald Trump disparaging the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

The Maine Republican called the statement from the President "inappropriate and wrong."

"I was appalled by the President's tweet," Collins said Friday, according to audio obtained by CNN of an event where she spoke with local reporters.

The senator, who is a crucial swing vote on Kavanaugh's nomination, was responding to a question on what she thought of a tweet from the President suggesting that Christine Blasey Ford should have come forward with her allegation against Kavanaugh earlier.

At the end of the day, despite all of her posturing, Susan Collins will vote with Trump. Don't fall for this "moderate" Republican sham. Susan Collins will ultimately fall in line and will be the point person to give all of her white male Republican colleagues cover to victim blame and to give Republicans the votes they need on the Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
