Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) turned to former McConnell aides to fund her tough 2020 reelection campaign.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has been one of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's most loyal supporters in the Senate, and some of his former aides rewarded Collins with swanky fundraiser in Washington, D.C.

Two former McConnell (R-KY) aides, who are now D.C. lobbyists, hosted a fundraiser for Collins on Wednesday, according to a Friday report in the Wall Street Journal.

One of the aides worked on the 2017 tax law, which Collins supported. Many experts say the tax law failed to live up to Republican promises and even exacerbated income inequality in the country by showering the wealthiest families with most of the benefits.

But it is not only former McConnell staffers who are bankrolling Collins' 2020 campaign; McConnell himself is getting involved with an Oct. 21 fundraiser for her. The Journal notes that McConnell "spares no expense" in helping Collins' reelection effort.

So while they "have no comment" on there orange hair leader committing treason, and she is taking dirty money from Moscow Mitch..........................says everything about her utter lack of principles and duty to not Defend and Protect" the Constitution, but she can go and get a pat on the back for enabling a "Guy" that committed extortion and treason...................

7. That's the point to hit. DC lobbyists want her there, not Mainers. Whose work is she doing Maine?

3. I hope her constituents spare no expense

to gas up their cars on Election Day and head to the poles to throw her out of office.

6. I really think Maine will be done with her.
