In a strong contrast to her previous public appearances, Republican Senator Susan Collins faced a wave of heckling and boos at a recent event in her home state of Maine. It seems like heckling has become very common when dealing with politicians lately.
The most recent confrontation occurred during a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Searsport, Maine, marking the completion of the long-running Route 1 construction project. As Collins attempted to speak, demonstrators repeatedly interrupted her with shouts of “Shame! Shame! Shame!” The senator’s attempts to address the crowd were met with more interruptions, with one demonstrator yelling a demand for her to listen to her constituents.
