Million-Dollar Democrat Bribe To Sabotage Trump's Supreme Court Pick Just Revealed
– Guess Who's Paying!
I don't watch politics in Maine much because the Republican there is Senator Susan Collins,
who I consider to be a squishy moderate at best.
However, she's our squishy moderate and the left is now attacking her.
Even the most 'meh' states out there are now political battlegrounds it would seem.
Leftists set up a crowdfunding campaign that has raised over $1 million as of last week
for the opponent of Collins if she doesn't do as she's told.
They are trying to bribe Collins into not voting for the confirmation of Supreme Court
nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Collins called it outright bribery and/or extortion and she's right.
Liberal activist groups have posted the campaign on the platform Crowdpac, garnering both supporters
and critics.
"Senator Collins votes NO on Kavanaugh and you will not be charged, and no money will
go to fund her future opponent," the platform wrote.
"Senator Collins votes YES on Kavanaugh and your pledge will go to her opponent's
campaign, once that opponent has been identified."

Here's a hot tip for the left here.
You just ensured that you cannot bribe Senator Collins and she will make this move an election
talking point that is really going to hurt you.
If you play rough out in public, expect to get smacked for it.
Collins' spokeswoman told the Washington Post it was extortion.
"And anybody who thinks these tactics would work on Senator Collins obviously doesn't
know her," spokeswoman Annie Clark said in a statement.
"Senator Collins will make up her mind based on the merits of the nomination.
Threats or other attempts to bully her will not play a factor in her decision making whatsoever."
What a dumb move by the left.
Chances are they just solidified Collins' seat and ceded her the moral high ground here.
I wonder who the brain trust was that came up with this lame idea?
An ethics expert was quick to point out to the Washington Post that "it may very well
violate federal bribery statutes."
Jeepers…
I would certainly say so.
Of course, for every ethics expert out there that gives a sane and correct evaluation of
the situation, you will find a leftist-loving, ethics-challenged one that says the opposite.
Jordan Libowitz, who is a spokesman for the Citizens for Ethics and Responsibilities,
told the Washington Post it doesn't rise to the level of bribery, "because there's
no agreement."
"It's just the way money and politics tend to work these days," he said.
Uh, no it's not.
As far as an agreement, there does not have to be one to constitute extortion.
A supporter who endorsed the campaign, Julie B., stated: "women will stand together to
protect our rights and what is right."
So, let me get this straight… you will break the law to do what you consider is right?
If you are breaking the law doesn't that argue that you don't know or don't care
what is right?
Just sayin'.
"The people of Maine are asking you to be a hero, Senator Collins," the campaign wrote.
"… to stand up for the people of Maine and for Americans across the country, every
dollar donated to this campaign will go to your eventual Democratic opponent in 2020.
We will get you out of office."
Again, no they are not.
Communists, leftists, and activists are and they aren't asking… they are bullying.
These are the same people who sent Collins' Washington office a "three-foot-long cardboard
cutout of male genitalia."
Gross and disgusting.
The obscenity, of course, was accompanied by profanity.
Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch's office weighed in on the cutout via Twitter: "The
left's campaign to pressure Senator Collins has gone from threats of sexual violence against
young staffers to actual sexual harassment," the tweet said.
"This is abhorrent behavior and (again) deserves to be roundly condemned from the
right and left."
Actually, Senator, there should be arrests over this unseemly behavior.
Seriously.
Stalking, threats, and harassment like this should be illegal even in the state of Maine.
Someone should look into the legal statutes over this and act accordingly.
Collins said one of the many voicemails stands out.
"When I have a caller who tells a young staffer in my office who does casework that
he hopes she is raped and impregnated, we have really reached a new low," she said.
That's one way of putting it.
More threats were made:
"One incensed voter left a voicemail for Collins, which her office shared with USA
TODAY, in which he repeatedly screamed insults while wondering how Collins could accept Kavanaugh's
statement that he considers Roe v. Wade to be "settled law" when he was "handpicked
by the Federalist Society specifically to overturn" that decision.
"You will go down in history as the most naive person ever to be in Congress you (expletive),
(expletive), feckless, naive woman!" the caller yelled.
"If you care at all about women's choice, vote no Kavanaugh.
Don't be a dumb b—h," another male caller said.
"A letter sent to Collins' office warned that if she votes to confirm Kavanaugh "EVERY
waitress who serves you is going to spit in your food, and that's if you're lucky
you (expletive).'"
Collins insists that she has not decided how she will vote and had more questions for Kavanaugh
in the wake of his confirmation hearing.
But if I were her, I would now definitely vote for Kavanaugh after all this.
First off, he's way more than qualified, but secondly… the left hates him which is
good enough for me.
Twice.
