Role at the time: Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine
Condemned
Response to this claim
Collins's 2018 vote to confirm Kavanaugh remains justified despite his vote to overturn Roe and Casey in Dobbs.
“Susan Collins is lying through her teeth. Roe v. Wade was not overturned 6-3. That is a lie. It was 5-4.”

Why we used this label
The reference point is Collins's 2018 vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether it remains justified after Dobbs. Platner rejects Collins's claim that her vote did not matter and says she was the deciding vote to confirm the justice who decided Dobbs. That criticizes the vote itself, so we used Condemned. Challenged the characterization is close because he disputes her vote count, but he goes on to blame the confirmation. The quote is from his own X post.
