Susan Collins Regrets Saying She Believed Trump Has Learned Lesson

Hindsight is 20/20 for Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).

Collins said Tuesday that she would vote to acquit President Donald Trump  and that he had learned a lesson  from the Ukraine scandal and his impeachment. 

However, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

When Trump was asked to comment on Collins’ assertion , he once again declared he’d done nothing wrong: “It was a perfect call,” he said of his conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 

On Wednesday, Collins told a reporter from Maine outlet WGME-TV that she used the wrong verb when discussing the potential impact of impeachment on the president.

 A better word, she decided, would have been “hopes.”

The reflection didn’t impress very many people.
