George H. W. Bush Praises Sen Susan Collins For Her Political Courage And Class
Former President George H. W. Bush took to Twitter on Friday — for the first time in months — to offer praise and support to his longtime friend, Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
“Political courage and class. I salute my wonderful friend and her principled leadership,” Bushs tweet read.
.@SenatorCollins — political courage and class. I salute my wonderful friend and her principled leadership.

Just prior to Bushs tweet, Collins had announced her plan to vote in favor of Supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaughs confirmation.
As part of her lengthy statement from the Senate floor, Collins was very critical of Senate Democrats and special interest groups who had made up their minds about Kavanaugh long before any accusations were made against him, some voicing their opposition before they even knew the identity of the nominee.
The Maine senator also went through a litany of cases she had discussed with Kavanaugh in an attempt to convince people that she took her responsibility regarding “advice and consent” seriously.
