The nurses, veterans, clergy, disability advocates, grad students, small business owners and many other Mainers protesting passionately against this awful bill should inspire us all. It's disappointing to see a Collins campaign staffer insult and dismiss them. #mepoliticshttps://twitter.com/ldutson/status/941477532725137408 …

Nice try Mike. You should be transparent about how much your organization is being paid to orchestrate opposition to the tax bill. I don't question the earnestness of the protestors. I just think you should be transparent about the money. #mepolitics

You absolutely questioned their earnestness. You said they were being "ginned up." You can't manufacture that kind of passion and with a such a devastating bill setting new records for unpopularity, you don't need to. #mepolitics

Again, I don't doubt their earnestness. But you're not answering the question. How much money is your organization being paid to oppose the tax bill? #mepolitics

It's odd to think someone paid MPA to oppose a bill that's opposed to their views and that of most Mainers, heck, most Americans. Is this the Soros conspiracy theory you hear from the alt-right? #mepolitics

Lance's point is that the money MP has received has enabled the group to facilitate public protests and actions MP has paid volunteer coordinators who's job is to encourage regular folks to turn out Nothing wrong with that

You’re right. Not casting aspersions on anything. Just want to know who’s paying. #mepolitics

Is it the experience of tea party groups being organized by the Koch-funded AFP that makes the right not get grassroots activity opposed to tax cuts for the rich? #mepolitics
