Collins Call Out: Collins AGAIN Feigns Concern About OMB Director She Confirmed

OMB Director publicly shared the same priorities he is currently pushing just months before Collins confirmed him

Augusta, Maine - Today, Susan Collins AGAIN feigned concern over Trump OMB Director Russ Vought's threats of mass firings to government workers - even though his plans to terminate thousands of government workers were clear when she voted to confirm him.

In fact, before Collins voted to confirm him, Vought said "there certainly is going to be mass layoffs and firings," and "we want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected … we want them to not want to go to work … we want their funding to be shut down."

Over the past two weeks, Collins has followed President Trump's order to not "even bother dealing with" Democrats on government funding, voting numerous times against a bill that would have saved health care for 50,000 Mainers who are at risk of seeing their insurance premiums skyrocket when enhanced premium ACA tax credits expire. Reporting has pointed out Susan Collins "has yet to sponsor" any legislative move to extend the tax credits.
