Democrats under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer stocked the Coronavirus package with Green New Deal handouts, a post office bailout, and union cash. These are not serious people.
Senator Susan Collins was deeply concerned and disappointed as Democrats blocked the stimulus relief package for the second time in two days. She called the delay “disgraceful” and shared conversations she has had with small business owners who are relying on the stimulus package to get passed.
“Unbelievably, the Democratic leader objected to my even being able to speak this morning,” Collins said as she hammered far-left Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “Is that what we’ve come to? The Democratic leader objected to our convening at nine o’clock this morning so that we could be working in earnest? Is that what we’ve come to?”
CNN reporter Kristin Wilson said that Collins walked across the aisle to Schumer, “pointed her finger at his face and said ‘You are objecting to my speaking? This is appalling!!’”
The CNN Capitol Hill reporter described the event:
“Frayed nerves and tension on the senate floor. Sen. Tom Cotton at one point yelled ‘this is bulls***’ twice. Sen. Collins got in Sen. Schumer’s face. And they figured on those voice votes on the fly,” Wilson reported, adding that “Collins stood up, walked thru her row, across aisle to his seat, stood w/in one foot (maybe less, being conservative) pointed her finger at his face repeatedly and said ‘You are objecting to my speaking? This is appalling!!’ (Still pointing, leaning in as she pointed.)”

Even @CNN admits #SenateDemocrats are using their vote on the coronavirus relief bill as "leverage" — this should sicken every American. I don’t know what Democrats think they’re doing but I do know most Americans don’t appreciate being used as leverage. pic.twitter.com/mEPX9crdVj

I am wildly entertained by this kabuki theater of the absurd. Bravo! Academy awards for all comrades for their world class acting skills.
They do care so much about Joe and Jane Sixpack because they love you comrade.
And WHO is STILL getting paid. Congress and their staff, AND media whores. Not to be excluded are the politicians of the states.
Collins and Romney reveal their poor judgement to suddenly be surprised by democratic behavior. This is why the dems are so recklessly bold – they see the tolerance, cowardliness and ignorance of the RINOs.
Real fighters are need in the repub party – not these weak people.
When is the President going to realize this CCP Virus was deliberately released on this nation and our allies? It is a horrific WMD that is killing tens of thousands and is poised to kill millions and crash our economies. We need to launch an immediate attack on the CCP destroying their ability to both launch further attacks and to govern China.
Finally she showed some moral courage, Dems are phony looking for political points.
