Susan Collins basically says her "health condition" didn't stop her from confirming Boof Boy, so f*ck you and f*ck off [View all]

“What I have is an extremely common condition that is called a benign essential tremor,” Collins told News Center Maine. “I have had it for the entire time that I have served in the United States Senate. It has absolutely no impact on my ability to do my job or on how I feel each day.”

She also stressed that she is confident in her ability to continue doing her job and serve another six years in the Senate if re-elected in November. She was first elected to the Senate in 1997, and is Maine’s longest-serving member of Congress.

“If you talk to anybody in Washington, they will tell you that I am the hardest-working person that they have ever worked with, and the fact is I’ve never missed a single vote in all the time that I’ve been honored to represent the people of Maine,” Collins told the outlet.

”I think that’s pretty good evidence of the fact that I am blessed with great health,” she added, noting that her condition is “inconvenient at times, but that’s all.”
