Day 2: Video Footage Was “Riveting”, Says GOP Senator Susan
Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, described sitting through the presentation by the managers today as “extremely quiet, you could have heard a pin drop,” adding that the footage was “riveting.”
“The presentations were compelling, particularly by Representative Plaskett, and also I thought that the Representative from Colorado was very good, as well,” she said.
“It was reliving that day with some additional detail that just reinforces my belief that it was a terrible day for our country and that there’s no doubt that it was an attempt to disrupt the counting of the electoral votes,” Collins continued.
“I’ll always be grateful to law enforcement and the Capitol police for protecting us, but also proud of the fact that we came back that night and finished our constitutional duty, we did not let the rioters accomplish their goal of disrupting the vote,” she added.
