Legacy Columnist Who Lied About Aging Governor Pal Now Accusing The Maine Wire?

After Portland Press Herald writer Steve Collins admitted earlier this week he had lied about fellow Democrat Janet Mills, he’s got gall complaining about The Maine Wire.

Collins in his latest creative-writing exercise calls the news outlet beating him like a drum “the state’s leading farm of racist and discriminatory content.”

At least it has principles😅, unlike the two-faced Collins who hid for months his secret that he believed Mills was too elderly to run for U.S. Senate.

The Press Herald writer is apparently piqued that The Maine Wire called out his duplicity on Thursday – the day before he wrote his latest embittered effort at debasing it.

Collins is mad that GOP U.S. Sen. Susan Collins posed over the weekend for a photo with Maine Wire reporter Jon Fetherston – the guy who breaks dishes over reporter Collins’ head while Collins can’t even break an egg (which if he could would reveal what a yolk he is).

Sen. Collins “had no difficulty gripping the right-wing website’s ‘Sword of Truth,’ an extraordinarily pathetic symbol of its hatred and mockery of the state’s immigrants and minorities, of its on-the-hour cries of ‘fraud,’” reporter Collins writes.

Actually, Mr. Collins, fraud is when you write column after column praising your fellow Democrat, Gov. Mills, then only after she quits the Senate primary race admitting that you long believed she was too old to run.

Truth is the democrats are running a NAZI who hates women, rural Mainers, Blacks, Maine lobstermen. Collins is only 73.

Steve Collins is a pathetic Kool-Aid drinker and shill for all leftwing policies and has been for years.
