      In a radio interview, Collins pushed back on calls by Ford to allow the FBI to investigate the sexual misconduct allegations before a Monday hearing. And she said: "I think it's not fair for Judge Kavanaugh for her not to come forward and testify."http://www.wvomfm.com/episode/ghrt-rewind-09-19-collins-kavanaugh-ford-1530/ …

      Asked about Ford's request to allow the FBI to investigate first, Collins said: "It seems to me that this reverses the normal order of things. First of all, there have already been six background checks of Judge Kavanaugh for the various positions that he has held. ...

      "Usually the FBI does not pursue allegations against a nominee that occurred when the nominee was a minor. .. It seems to me what we should be doing is bringing these two individuals before the committee. .. If we need additional help from the FBI, the committee can ask for it"

          OK. So @SenatorCollins has shown she doesn't want an actual investigation but just wants a political theater. YOU SEEING THIS, CONSTITUENTS WHO STILL HAD HOPE FOR HER?

          Got it. @SenatorCollins is OK with rapey behavior as long as you’re a minor. Like this is an extra level of courtesy being shown to Dr Ford.

          The hypocrisy displayed by @SenatorCollins is sickening. She needs a Democratic/progressive challenger in 2020, and I guess her time is up too. We need a real champion for women rights, not a flip flopper with double standards applied to Al Franken and Kavanaugh!

          So let me get this straight. If someone alleged that he murdered someone at the age of 17 the FBI would not be interested?

          Usually the nominee has not been accused of attempted rape.

          Usually Supreme Court nominees aren’t alleged to have attempted rape. Usually.

          Seems to me that almost half the members of the committee ARE asking for that help.

          @SenatorCollins @ChuckGrassley @JeffFlake and the whole @GOP will regret not doing this the right (and clearly precedented) way. Kavanaugh is not “squeaky clean” - he has been caught in lies, is a political animal, and probably once tried to rape a girl. What could go wrong?
