Classic Susan Collins: delivering the votes when the GOP needs them, and taking a free shot when they don’t need her vote. It’s a lesson in legislative politics that a surprising number of elected officials don’t quite learn.

To those asking, here's Vance's comments.
When news broke that the terrorist in Germany was a Saudi immigrant, Vance implied blame on all immigrants/Muslims.
When it came out that the attacker was an Elon Musk fan, AfD supporter, and anti-Islam, Vance defended AfD.
He's said nothing else about it.
