Well of course she does. Why would anyone speak ill of the population least likely to have a job and most likely to be on welfare.
Trump, during a Thursday rally in Portland, Maine, referenced the state's Somali community as an example of refugees "coming from among the most dangerous territories and countries."
"We've just seen many, many crimes getting worse all the time, and as Maine knows — a major destination for Somali refugees — right, am I right?" Trump said during the rally.
"Well, they're talking about it," he continued.
"Maine. Somali refugees. We admit hundreds of thousands — you admit, into Maine, and to other places in the United States — hundreds of thousands of refugees."
Senator Collins was not happy.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) slammed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's recent comments about her state's Somali community.
“Mr. Trump’s statements disparaging immigrants who have come to this country legally are particularly unhelpful,” Collins said in a statement, according to The Boston Globe.
“Maine has benefited from people from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and, increasingly, Africa — including our friends from Somalia.”
Maine has indeed benefited Somalis, but have our Somali friends benefited Maine?
Collins said at the Republican convention that she hasn't ruled out voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, though she admitted that scenario would be "extremely unlikely."
Not that unlikely.
