Toxic RINO Senator Susan Collins (ME) on Thursday morning announced she is a “no” vote on Kash Patel.
The Senate will vote to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director on Thursday. Senator Collins came out against Kash Patel just hours before the vote.
Senator Collins said her decision to vote against Kash Patel comes after a flood of firings and resignations at the Justice Department.
“The nomination of Kash Patel to serve as Director of the FBI comes to the Senate against the backdrop of recent personnel actions at the Department of Justice, including the resignations of several career federal prosecutors who felt they were being instructed to act in a manner inconsistent with their ethical obligations,” Susan Collins said. “In addition, a questionnaire has been sent to thousands of FBI employees regarding their involvement
Collins said she will voting ‘no’ on Patel’s confirmation because of his “politically charged statements.”
“In this context, there is a compelling need for an FBI Director who is decidedly apolitical. While Mr. Patel has had 16 years of dedicated public service, his time over the past four years has been characterized by high profile and aggressive political activity. Mr. Patel has made numerous politically charged statements in his book and elsewhere discrediting the work of the FBI, the very institution he has been nominated to lead. These statements, in conjunction with the questionnaire sent to thousands of FBI employees, cast doubt on Mr. Patel’s ability to advance the FBI’s law enforcement mission in a way that is free from the appearance of political motivation.”
Collins continued, “While I strongly support efforts to ensure all federal employees perform their responsibilities ethically and in accordance with the law, Mr. Patel’s recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI.”
“Therefore, I will vote against his nomination,” she concluded.

Susan Collins had no problem confirming Joe Biden’s radical political nominees. In fact, Collins is the top aisle-crosser and brags about her breaking the ranks to help the Democrats.
