Collins should step up, or step down

Unless Sen. Susan Collins immediately, publicly and strongly denounces and repudiates President Trump’s most recent egregiously corrupt act of firing the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, she is grossly failing to uphold her oath of office to protect and preserve the U.S. Constitution (“Top federal prosecutor in NYC steps down after feud with administration,” June 20.)

Once again, the mad, demented and psychopathic person occupying the White House is acting like a dictator, a gangster, a mafia boss, serving only his personal interests and those of his corrupt allies.

If Sen. Collins sees fit to remain silent, or engage in one of her mealy-mouthed, “Oh my, I am concerned” responses, she is unfit to be in the Senate and she should immediately resign. Let someone who has more courage and fortitude, someone more like Margaret Chase Smith, do the job Sen. Collins is failing to do.
