“The president should help to heal the racial divisions in this country. It is at times like this that a president needs to speak to the nation, to pledge to right wrongs, and to calm inflamed passions.
“It was painful to watch peaceful protestors be subjected to tear gas in order for the President to go across the street to a church I believe he’s attended only once.” – Sen. Susan Collins, speaking to NBC News.
Sen. Susan Collins with a strong rebuke of Trump’s actions last night. “ It was painful to watch peaceful protestors be subjected to tear gas in order for the President to go across the street to a church I believe he’s attended only once.”

She’s “concerned.” Watch out. If Trump doesn’t stop she’s going to unleash “disappointed” on him. And if he still doesn’t stop, she may go full nuclear: “troubled.”

Rebukes aren’t strong. Actions are strong. Until Susan Collins *does something* to stop this, she’s just as complicit as Trump himself. https://t.co/CEZOJmaDct
