100. Do you think she is lying?
Tue Jul 7, 2026, 12:05 AM

Have you ever doubted anyone who accused a person on the right or is it only accusations against our side that get questioned.

Yes it is he said/she said at the moment. But she has given details which can be verified and his history of disparaging remarks (including victim blaming those who have been raped) give the accusations weight.

Is there no one in the state of Maine that we can put up against Collins except this one man, I think there has to be another option if the accusations are deemed credible.
