Maine Resident Criticizes Senator Susan Collins Over Trump Alignment

William C. Hiss, a resident of Lewiston, Maine, published an op-ed criticizing Susan Collins for her continued political alignment with President Donald Trump. Hiss argues that the Senator's success in securing earmark grants for Maine projects, including new firehouses and a museum in Lewiston-Auburn, does not justify her record of voting with the president approximately 95% of the time.

The op-ed characterizes the Trump presidency as a series of disasters, specifically citing the Iran war, threats directed at Greenland and Canada, and the degradation of national parks. Hiss contrasts the Senator's public silence regarding these actions with a recent statement she made to the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.

In that context, Collins stated that "evil cannot be ignored," a sentiment Hiss claims she fails to apply to her own political conduct. The critique suggests that the Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee is prioritizing political convenience over a moral opposition to the administration's policies.
