The campaign of the Maine Democrat trying to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins has a massive Me Too problem.
After launching her candidacy to unseat Collins because of Collins's support for due process during the Brett Kavanaugh nomination, Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon is now going out of her way to ignore the detailed accusations of sexual impropriety and harassment by presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden.
Gideon regularly posts pictures tying Collins to Kavanaugh.
In backing rule of law for Kavanaugh, Collins withstood a brutal months-long pressure campaign that involved threats of rape and violence against her staff, violent personal threats, an alleged ricin attack on her home, and uniform condemnation from celebrities and pundits.
Vox says, "Susan Collins is in the political fight of her life, and Brett Kavanaugh is a huge factor." The Christian Science Monitor claimed the Kavanaugh support was the "Straw that broke the camel's back" for many of her voters.
In response to a CNN video showing that women believed Judge Kavanaugh, she said it's "Not unexpected to see Republican women defend Kavanaugh." She repeatedly claimed that Collins "Was OK with an inadequate investigation of Kavanaugh," and that the "FBI did not fully investigate allegations against Kavanaugh," and that the process Collins supported was "Rushed, incomplete and contrary to previous processes." She even complained that the hundreds of thousands of documents provided to evaluate Kavanaugh were insufficient and showed his backers "Wanted to avoid full vetting."
The group repeatedly complained about inconclusive investigations and pressured Collins to treat Kavanaugh as guilty, lamenting her vote in his favor.
