Well because Susan Collins voted for the Iran war five times. I mean she's not interested in getting us out of Iran. I mean her votes now are just manufactured votes when she knows that you know we're stuck in this. I would bring our troops home. I get out of Iran and you know I make sure that I get more money into the LIHEAP program. Another thing that is different between me and Senator Collins means she cares about billionaires means she's giving tax cuts to the billionaire class the big beautiful bill that she helped advance cut heating assistance in the LIHEAP program. I would be putting more money in the LIHEAP and not giving billionaires they're not going to freeze death this winter I'll tell you that.
