In a stunning betrayal of conservative principles, RINO Senator Susan Collins of Maine is leading backroom negotiations with Democrats to resurrect the failed Obamacare subsidy scheme that mercifully expired under President Trump's watch.
Collins, long known for her liberal voting record disguised as "moderate" Republicanism, has partnered with freshman Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio in what sources describe as "bipartisan talks" to bring back the costly government handouts that propped up Barack Obama's healthcare disaster.
The timing couldn't be more suspicious. Just weeks into Trump's second term, as the President works tirelessly to implement his America First agenda and drain the Washington swamp, establishment Republicans are already working behind the scenes to undermine his efforts to reduce government spending and dependency.
Another RINO Sellout
"This is exactly what we're talking about when we say the swamp fights back," said one conservative policy analyst who requested anonymity. "Trump gets elected on a platform of reducing government waste, and immediately the RINOs start scheming to bring back failed Obama-era programs."
The expired subsidies were part of Obamacare's massive wealth redistribution scheme that forced working Americans to subsidize healthcare for others while their own premiums skyrocketed. The program's expiration represented a rare victory for fiscal conservatives and taxpayers tired of footing the bill for Washington's spending addiction.
But Collins and her fellow establishment Republicans apparently missed that memo.
"Senator Collins has never met a big government program she didn't want to expand or extend," noted a GOP strategist familiar with the negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Trump and his team are focused on delivering real results for the American people: securing the border, cutting regulations, and putting America's workers first. The contrast couldn't be clearer between Trump's vision of limited government and the RINO establishment's addiction to Washington spending.
Patriots need to ask themselves: why are Republicans more eager to revive Obama's failed policies than to support Trump's proven agenda? The answer reveals everything you need to know about the swamp's determination to resist real change.
