The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump super PAC, released a video called “Trump Stooge,” attacking Sen Susan Collins (R-Maine) for not speaking up against President Donald Trump and ultimately helped him keep his job during the impeachment trial.
Collins, who video describes as “Trump stooge,” is one of a few Republican swing votes in the Senate.
“Sen. Collins never stands up to Donald Trump,” the narrator says. “Sen. Collins isn’t an independent. She’s a fraud. Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump control her voice.”
“Susan Collins doesn’t work for Maine. She works for them. And Maine deserves a leader, not a Trump stooge,” the narrator concludes.
