Senator Susan Collins Thought the Rioters “Were Iranians” at First

[BUtterfield 8 41,818]

Senator Susan Collins of Maine said her first thought was that the mostly white, pro-Trump mob that descended upon the Capitol were…. wait for it… “Iranians” attacking America.  

Sen. James Lankford had just started speaking when, all of a sudden, the Capitol Police and staff from the Sergeant at Arms burst into the chamber and removed Vice President Mike Pence who was presiding. Shortly thereafter, the two Senate leaders were also rushed away. 

My first thought was that the Iranians had followed through on their threat to strike the Capitol, but a police officer took over the podium and explained that violent demonstrators had breached the entire perimeter of the Capitol and were inside. Several of us pointed out that the doors to the press gallery were unlocked right above us. That tells you how overwhelmed and unprepared the Capitol Police were, although many, many of them were very courageous.

Read her whole interview here. If you so choose.

What a feckless moron. The beautiful state of Maine deserves better.

Huh? Listen... this is just a tragic rebuke on American Intelligence and communication if such a powerful figure guessed so wrong. It’s getting weird...

No they don't. 

They voted her in. Since 1997.

I'm STILL shocked Susan Collins won her re election... I was so sure she was going to lose her seat. Her democrat opponent was a decent candidate too

That's kind of beyond pathetic to assume that of all things. You got tons of domestic terrorism occurring in your nation yet you still focus on Iran which has not attacked American soil in ages (if at all). 

[JusKeepBreathin 19,311]

Iran. Can someone tell her it's 2021. The terrorists in our country are homegrown.

My biggest enemy is me, tease.

God these politicians are complete idiots... Like America's been churning out domestic terrorists for years, no need to out-source when we already create enough of our own problems. Also leave the Middle East alone already for f*cks sake

Collins has always struck me as being a little bit... off... 

I have no idea why she has held her seat as long as she has.
