In interview with CNN, the former Republican Senator warns failing to stand up to the president threatens rule of law
Last night on CNN, former Maine Republican Senator Bill Cohen slammed Republicans in Congress for their unwillingness to follow the facts and hold Trump accountable. Cohen warned that Trump is a threat to the rule of law and predicted that the American people will not support a system in which the rules don’t apply to the president.

From Senator Margaret Chase Smith’s Declaration of Conscience against McCarthyism to then-Congressman Bill Cohen’s bold stand against a president from his own party during the Watergate investigation, Maine has a proud tradition of representatives who have been willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of partisanship. But in the Trump era, Senator Collins has stayed quiet. Mainers deserve better.
