Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt pulled back the curtain and revealed that Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are frauds who will vote for Brett Kavanaugh.
Schmidt tweeted:
The point about Colin’s and Murkowski’s impending vote for Kavanaugh exposes them as titanic frauds who have gamed the choice issue for their personal benefit for decades. Sincere people have committed points of view on this difficult issue. These two are not amongst them .

They built their political careers around the premise that they are tough and independent leaders who will defend Roe v Wade. Turns out that was a con on the level of Trump University. In the end they will be the architects of the repeal of Roe v Wade. They conned a lot

Of people for a long time but like all cons the day always comes where the curtain is pulled back. My objection to them isn’t on the basis of a belief. It’s on the basis of how dishonest and full of shit they are

If Collins And Murkowski Vote For Kavanaugh, Their Con Will Be Exposed
Collins and Murkowski have carefully built an image of moderation in the Senate, but a vote for Brett Kavanaugh is a vote for overturning Roe v. Wade, which the two Senators claim to support. Steve Schmidt hit the nail on the head. It is not what a legislator says. It is how they vote that tells all.
The two Senators have a golden opportunity to do the right thing for the United States of America. They can use their votes to reflect the will of the people and reject a nomination that should have never been made.
Should they vote to confirm Kavanaugh, they will reveal their true colors, and their moderate images will be exposed as an act of fraud against the voters of their states.
