New ads target Collins for supporting Kavanaugh

Source: The Hill

A pro-ObamaCare group is targeting Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in new TV and digital ads for voting to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The ad imitates a breaking news alert, with a narrator saying that the Supreme Court has voted to overturn ObamaCare and its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Democrats and activist groups supportive of ObamaCare have argued that Kavanaugh would be the deciding vote against the health-care law should a lawsuit challenging it make it to the Supreme Court.

"Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to be a rubber stamp on his war on health care was a true test of Senator Collins’s commitment to health care," said Protect Our Care chair Leslie Dach.

I think these ads are a tad premature. Maybe by 2020 when she's up for reelection.

ALL Americans want the ACA to stay in place. Once again, idiot Americans didn't think for themselves and know that Kav will destroy the ACA. All they were worried about was their dear, dear, boof boy getting his feelings hurt by those evil Dems. These people are too stupid to live...how do they get through the day without someone telling them to breath, blink, swallow, eat, sleep, etc? They thought Obamacare and the ACA were two separate things since that is what Fix Ruse told them over and over, so it must be true. When their healthcare was being taken from them they educated themselves pretty quickly about the subject and then went back into their normal catatonic state.

Dr Ford was sexually assaulted", But, "I don't believe Kavanaugh did it". Dr Ford was 100% certain who who on top of her gropping her -- KV.

Susan Collins cannot believe both things -- she's a liar.
