Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is now sharing how her family received threats during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process and how she’s finally feeling a sense of security and relief.
Collins received security from law enforcement in the lead-up to the swing vote senator’s decision to cast her vote to confirm Kavanaugh.
The senator thanked the efforts of law enforcement in keeping her safe. Collins noted that a New York individual had targeted her with threats. It was the same individual who was arrested for threatening Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the Washington Examiner reported.
Collins shared one particular instance in which a man waited outside her Washington, D.C., townhouse late at night less than a week before Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
“I was [nervous] for a while, but I’m not now. I’m not,” Collins told the Examiner. She added:
“It’s interesting, I think it was partially the night that I came home late — I’d worked late til 9:30pm, and there was a man who had been waiting for me at my townhouse in the rain in the dark for hours. And that, I will tell you, really scared me.” – READ MORE
