SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — Republican Sen. Susan Collins says she's getting death threats after her vote to acquit President Donald Trump at his impeachment trial, saying three of them were deemed “credible” and are being investigated. Collins made the disclosure Friday while addressing the Maine Chiefs of Police Association winter conference. “I just want you to know that I’ve always loved you and appreciated you. But now I have a real personal appreciation for all that you do to keep us safe,” Collins told the group in South Portland, Maine. Collins also received threats before when she voted to confirm

Well Senator, ask yourself if the left is as tolerant as they keep telling us.

The left will stop at nothing, even murder to retaliate if they don't get their way. We must stand firm or lose our democracy.

Collins' only hope for re-election is that President Trump comes to Maine, has a rally in the Second Congressional District (northern 2/3 of the state) and endorses her. Democrats in Maine won't vote for her.

Because the energetic left are scum and the 'tolerant' moderates happily enable ALL of it, from climate change extremism to murder.

Weird. The Left was so kind and tolerant to Sarah Sanders and her family in the Little Red Hen.

This is what you get when you appease the left, Susan, and I have no sympathy for you.

Well Susan, it's known as 'taking one for the team'. You are a Republican, aren't you?

She should think about this: If someone were really intending to kill you, would they really warn you first?
By making the threat, they completely remove the element of surprise and have warned their supposed target. Rather than the target being an unsuspecting victim, the warning allows them to take precautions and increase their security posture. The intended victim could even arm themselves and turn the tables on their attacker.

Republicans don’t threaten lives. This is the work of Hillary-lovers, Obama-lovers, who are sore losers. Vindictive and punishing. Terrorists of a kind.

If she would have stood strong from the outset, this all would have been avoided. Instead, she waffled and gave the left hope. She then pulled the rug out from the left and they did not like it. Go figure.

There was not a single critical vote in this exercise. 19 more votes were required for removal from office, so no senator was placed in the position to cast the "deciding vote".

The Left wants to take your guns away. But cross them and they want to commit murder. Classy bunch, those Democrats!

Some advice, 'purchase a gun' your fellow senator Dianne Feinstein did after the Harvey Milk killing. Protect yourself it's what a patriot does. Who said doing the right thing would be east?

Elect a demonrat for the House, Senate, or Presidency, and gulags and ovens aren't far behind. They can finally get to use those millions and millions of Barry's FEMA corpse bags, get the Corps of Engineers to build mile trenches to toss those bags in, then cover them up for future archeological dig pits to wonder what happened.

Liberals are fascists. Collins is one of the stupidest people in Washington, and she is in way, way over her head. Clearly, Maine needs someone who will take it to the liberal fascists and destroy them. Collins has been doing way too much bending over to them.
