'Aunt Lydia' Collins, betrayer of women, wants to clear the press out of front row

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/busted-susan-collins-wanted-to-clear-an-entire-row-of-the-press-gallery-of-reporters-and-keep-it-empty/

The Senate took a dinner break at 6:30 p.m. EST and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) used the break to “loudly” tell Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), John Thune (R-SD) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) that she didn’t like where the press was seated.

RollCall reporter K. Tully-McManus tweeted that Collins wanted the press pushed back away from her.

“During the break, Sen. Susan Collins said loudly to Sens Murkowski, Thune & Tillis that she would like the first row of the press gallery to be kept empty and that reporters should only be seated from the second row back, motioning to the sparse remaining press (myself included)

(end snip)

That's all you got, honey? More procedure crap. The press leans forward 'cause they can't hear you, sweets. Chaos may work for your boss, Pootey Poot. It's not a good look for you, deary.

This may be your last summer in the Senate, better sit down, shut up and reap what you have sown.

witch. I hope her wrinkledass is defeated by a Democratic contender next election. Let her constituents know how it feels to have a real woman representing that district for a change, not a wimpy little whiner.

That's at least 30 minutes of her droning on and then doing nothing (nothing positive)

She's actually among the worst of them because she pretends that she might do the right thing sometimes, even when everyone (including her) knows that there is a less than zero chance of it.

Maybe she's afraid that the press will overhear someone giving her instructions?
