I was a defender on the pages of the Ellsworth American in November 2018 of Republican Sen. Susan Collins’s courageous and principled deciding vote to confirm now Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
In 2020, Sen. Collins voted to confirm all but two of President Joe Biden’s cabinet choices, despite nearly all being unqualified, freaks, a disgrace, or all of the above.
To wit: Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Energy, who doesn’t know a wart from a watt from an ohm, from a volt—and still doesn’t know how many barrels of oil are produced by American drillers.
Xavier Becerra, Secretary of Health and Human Services, is a lawyer with no health policy experience and an advocate of abortion on demand with no constraints, even in the 9th month.
Pete Buttigieg, formerly an undistinguished mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is Secretary of Transportation, with his only qualifications being that he is gay and loves riding on Amtrak trains.
Rachel (Richard) Levine as assistant health secretary, a man who champions child transgender dysphoria, chemical castration, puberty blockers, and sex change operations on demand.
Merrick Garland, Attorney General, who transformed the DOJ and FBI into a politicized oppression machine, pursuing political opponents, punishing free speech and the right to assembly, demonizing parents attending school board meetings, jailing a 75-year-old pro-life lady praying outside an abortion clinic, and permitting FBI agents to surveil traditional Roman Catholics worshiping the Latin Tridentine Mass, all while lying under oath to Congress.
Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, received a Yes vote from Collins despite coming to DC under a cloud of suspicion and investigation related to EB-5 visas. He has overseen the open borders invasion from some 15 million illegal migrants, including an estimated 13,000 convicted murderers and over 16,000 convicted of sexual assaults, along with drug kingpins and human traffickers, while admitting that 325,000 illegal immigrant minors are unaccounted for.
To top off the list was Collins’s vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court — a lawyer who couldn’t define what a woman is. And just a few weeks ago in Supreme Court oral arguments on transgender surgery, another Collins Yes vote from Barack Obama’s term, Justice Sonia Sotomayor asserted that child mutilation was the same as taking an aspirin.
Senator Collins, with neither judgment nor scorn, you have the moral and intellectual duty to affirm all of President Donald Trump’s cabinet appointees, just as you set your own precedent with approving almost all of Barack Obama’s and Joe Biden’s executive branch selections.
Geoffrey P. Hunt is a sociopolitical observer and writer living in Brooklin.
Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this letter suggested Collins voted in favor of all of Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s cabinet nominees. Collins in fact voted against former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in 2013, against Labor Secretary nominee Julie Su in 2021, and against Jared Bernstein, Biden’s pick for the Council of Economic Advisors, in 2023.

Mr. Hunt has nailed it.
Sue do not run in the primary as you will louse!
Collins’s, McConnell, Murkowski all have Chinese Paymasters.
The Republicans in Maine need to select and financially support a REAL Republican candidate to replace our long surviving sell-out, Susan Collins.
Would everyone please make a little effort to cut and paste this in its entirety and e-mail it to The RINO bitch herself
Susan Hussein Rodham Collins acts only in her self interest and the interests of the RINO/DINO DC Kleptocracy !
She’s got to go. For people finally stand up and vote her out.
Collin’s fault was no so much refusing to approve one of Trump’s poor choices (failing to learn from his first term), but in approving the many poor nominees of previous Denocrats, as spelled out in the letter. It is her seemingly pro-Democrat hypocrisy that rankles.
Sue, Geoffrey P. Hunt has nailed it. Your are fired.
How would Jared Golden be worse?
Never forget that the Mills family are all REPUBLICANS, that her father was the REPUBLICAN US Attorney for Maine during the Eisenhower, Nixon, & Ford Administrations. Susan Collins is from the same RINO culture as Janet Mills.
So how would Jared Golden be worse?
Go to Stephen Gardner podcast on Rumble. He has a guest on Ross Givens who is a 20 yr stock veteran, a former vice president of a wall street bank and an expert on insider trading. They show a chart of congressional members and the money they made between 12/29/23 and 12/30/24 on their stock portfolios. Susan Collins out performed Warren Buffet and Bill Ackman (a hedgefund billionaire! Only 7 congressional members out performed Senator Susan Collins!
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COMMENTARY BY MR HUNT

Why is maine wire showing this picture of collins from decades ago?
I can’t stand what Collins has become but because Maine has been hijacked by progressives, Collins has become center-left which lures in independents and even moderate D’s.. Be prepared that if you bounce Collins you will get a psycho D that may be worse than she is .. just sayin’
