In our 48th episode of This F*cking Guy, Crooked’s Julia Claire joins Erin to dive deep into the past of the chronically concerned, Susan Collins.
From her false promises to only serve two senate terms, to defending the filibuster more than voting rights, to her laughable lack of foresight and complicity in overturning Roe, to her cowardice hand-wringing and compliance with Trump and Republicans, this may be or most useless guy, yet!
