.@SenatorCollins's office led a smear campaign against a h.s. student who wrote a column criticizing Collins for never holding town halls or meeting w/ protesters & for not answering voter emails. They fed false info to a GOP operative who used it in a letter to the ed.
#SusanCollins's staff retaliated vs. a teen who wrote: "Collins has proven herself unreliable to the people of #Maine. She votes against the interests of her constituents & then disrespects them when they protest."

#SusanCollins's staff smeared a teen because she wrote "Collins is notorious for avoiding her constituents. She refuses to hold town halls in Maine or meet with protesters. She won’t return our messages or even formulate topic-specific responses to illuminate her viewpoints."
It took me 6 months & more than dozen contacts (calls & emails) to get an answer to 1 question: Did @SenatorCollins agree w/ #Mueller that Trump would have been indicted on several counts of obstruction if he were not president? Answer: No. She agrees w/ #Barr. 
It's particularly reprehensible that #SusanCollins's staff chose disgraced former state rep Paula Sutton as their agent to smear a h.s. student for her column about Collins. Sutton lost her seat after running a series of racist anti-immigrant ads.
The decision by @SenatorCollins's staff to attack #Maine high school student & newspaper Pearl Benjamin tells me the criticism hit home hard. Here's the column that caused Collins such consternation: knox.villagesoup.com/p/standing-aga…
