Don't care. Susan Collins is a corrupt MAGA Traitor and Pedophile.

Such fortuitous timing ....

I'm very curious what, or who, caused his former campaign manager to suddenly release this info to the press. Once again demonstrating that the biggest enemy of the Democrats is the Democrats themselves. Fucking unreal.

Hold on... How is this the Democrats' fault?

Im guessing cause the campaign manger brought it to light after it was agreed to keep it quiet and have them go to marriage consoling.

Or maybe cause he's a dem being his own worst enemy

It's my understanding that this former campaign manager has been sacked from his most recent position because of this. He proved to his employer that he is untrustworthy.

They are fucking scared of this guy.... I really hope he's not a nazi

Considering the Reddit posts they also dug up from his past that he was forced to distance himself from (the first "controversy" his campaign had to deal with), I don't think there's any chance he's secretly a Nazi.

In case his nazi tattoo didn't set off your red flags

Right? How in the fuckadoodledoo do you see a goddamn totenkopf on a middle aged man's chest and believe him when he says he "had no idea it was a nazi thing! I'm just some blond, blue eyed pink skin American Everyman who had no idea his tattoo also represents the ideals of my own supremacy, perfectly! Huh! What a super super wow big major coincidence! I'm sooooorrrry."

Dude, you are 40. You live in a country full of racists. There is no way you didn't know you had nazi shit tattooed on you for an entire generation. It's not some obscure nazi symbol, invented by neonazis in the 90s or something. It's the second most recognizable nazi symbol. It is only surpassed by the swastika.

This dude is a fucking nazi. Whatever he's doing and saying is a lie.

Yep one of the women he's banged would have said

Dudes a fucking plant for sure. He only got that shit covered up when it was reported on during his campaign. He wore that shit for like two decades without doing a damn thing about it. HMMMM. He was a mercenary killing civilians in the middle east for a stint, too. Like, fuck Collins, but this dude is clearly a fucking piece of shit.
