AOC: Senator Collins can keep her crocodile tears.

She voted & fought HARD to strip pandemic prep funding. She helped drive the lack of preparation that we had leading up to this.

What’s actually disgraceful is her “I’m a Moderate Lady” dance to cover up brutal policies and votes. https://t.co/sY2Iv4y3fT

It's not like an expedited vote is going to make things better, when the bill is going to absolutely make things worse if it passes.

They are using pressure to try to sneak one by the American public.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez will eventually say it.

I’m “concerned” about Susan Collins’ double talk. Hope Mainers send her packing.
