AOC Unloads On Collins And Murkowski For 'Betraying The Nation's Reproductive Rights' After Draft Decision Leaks

More MURKOWSKI: \u201cIf the decision is going the way that the draft that has been revealed is actually the case, it was not\u2014it was not the direction that I believed that the court would take based on statements that have been made about Roe being settled and being precedent.\u201d

Susan Collins:\u00a0\u201cIf this leaked draft opinion is the final decision and this reporting is accurate, it would be completely inconsistent with what Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh said in their hearings and in our meetings in my office.\u201d

Murkowski voted for Amy Coney Barrett when Trump himself proclaimed that he was appointing justices specifically to overturn Roe.\n\nShe and Collins betrayed the nation\u2019s reproductive rights when they were singularly capable of stopping the slide.

We could protect Roe tomorrow, but Sinema refuses to act on the filibuster. Until that changes she can take a seat talking about \u201cwomen\u2019s access to health care.\u201d\n\nHold everyone contributing to this disaster accountable, GOP & Dem obstructionists included. She should be primaried.https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1521513849765179392\u00a0\u2026

Since Susan Collins wants you to think that she's an actual simpleton who was misled, is she going to now join the Democrats in codifying Roe v Wade with legislation or nah?

If Murkowski & Collins are really furious that justices lied to them, and really care about abortion rights, there is a clear path for them to take: change the filibuster rule, even if targeted just for the one vote on legislation to codify Roe. Refuse? Disingenuous, hypocritical

So, are we supposed to comiserate with Susan Collins' saying she was misled by Kavanagh and Gorsuch on Roe v. Wade? With her 25 years in Congress, we are supposed to believe she was naive when she accepted what reproductive rights advocates said at the time were obvious lies?

Senate judiciary needs to hold hearings on whether justices lied. Call Collins and Murkowski as witnesses

This Collins woman is a real moron. She is dismayed by the decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs Wade. She voted for these SC nominees and she knew damn well something like this would happen. Oh poor little Suzie is trying to play the victim.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/susan-collins-supreme-court-abortion_n_62713870e4b0bc48f5802733\u00a0\u2026

A reminder that even though there are 2 self-described pro-choice Republicans in the Senate -- Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski -- they were both fine with confirming lots of Trump's anti-abortion judges.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/abortion-lisa-murkowski-susan-collins-trump-judges_n_5ade226ae4b0b2e8113244df\u00a0\u2026

NEW from me: Susan Collins has a statement out that implies that Kavanaugh and Gorsuch misled her about whether they\u2019d vote to kill Roe v Wade\n\nThat\u2026is a stretch. At best. And absurd to think she couldn\u2019t see this coming.https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/supreme-court-overturning-roe-v-wade-was-always-gop-goal-n1295089\u00a0\u2026

It is important to remember the no matter her stated pro-choice stance, Lisa Murkowski voted:\n'Present' on Kavanaugh.\n'Yea' on Coney Barrett.\n'Yea' on Gorsuch\n'Yea' on Alito\n'Yea' on Roberts\n'No' on Sotomayor\n'No' on Kagan\n'Yea' on Jackson*\n\nThe only exception.

I\u2019m struggling to recover from the realization that Susan Collins may have been misled.

Susan Collins is a damn liar, ok? Since Manu and the rest of the press reading her insulting statement ad nauseam let me remind Donald Trump said he was putting Judges on the Supreme Court who would overturn Roe v Wade. Full stop. Collins knew. Now she\u2019s claiming she was misled.https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1521490781638385664\u00a0\u2026
