Trump’s FBI Nominee: Susan Collins Pushes Back

Senator Susan “Two Terms” Collins is showing her RINO side on Thursday.

She’s announced her decision to vote against President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, Kash Patel.

With Republicans like her, who needs Democrats?

Is there we get to call her a racist for not voting for him? That’s how this works, right?

Despite Collins’ opposition, Patel’s nomination has advanced in the Senate, with a final confirmation vote expected soon.

Her attempts at blocking Trump’s pick is in vain.

And if anything, it has exposed her to a degree that will get her booted out of her position.

Hope she enjoyed those “two terms” that lasted since 1997!

After all, she did promise she would leave after only two terms.

Senator Susan Collins strikes again, saying ‘no’ to Kash Patel for FBI director. Another spineless RINO move, putting her Trump-hating ego over America’s safety. Maine deserves better than this wishy-washy grandstanding. pic.twitter.com/ZpMC0NZX3B

Fox News reports:

Moderate GOP Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, revealed she will not back President Donald Trump’s nominee to be director of the FBI, Kash Patel.

“The nomination of Kash Patel to serve as Director of the FBI comes to the Senate against the backdrop of recent personnel actions at the Department of Justice, including the resignations of several career federal prosecutors who felt they were being instructed to act in a manner inconsistent with their ethical obligations,” she said in a Thursday statement released just before a key procedural vote.

“While I strongly support efforts to ensure all federal employees perform their responsibilities ethically and in accordance with the law, Mr. Patel’s recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI,” she added.

Trump’s controversial FBI nominee cleared his last procedural hurdle on Thursday morning, despite losing Collins’ support.

Key Republican Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., are backing Patel for the role.

Is anyone surprised?

RINOs gonna RINO.

Also, have you noticed there’s never any accusations of a DINO?

Why aren’t there any Democrats In Name Only?

Also, remember when Collins said she would only serve 2 terms?

It’s the ol’ “2 weeks to flatten the curve” lie.

Basically, “Just allow this for now because it’s short term. And once you allow it, we won’t leave.”

FLASHBACK — RINO Senator Susan Collins, 28 years ago: “If I’m elected I will only serve 2 terms, regardless of whether a term limits constitutional amendment passes or not.”
