Earlier today, Republican Sen. Susan Collins delivered a long speech explaining why she plans to vote in favor of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination when the full Senate votes. Rob Reiner wasn’t a fan of Collins saying she was troubled by the “guilty until proven innocent” approach of those who opposed him, and unleashed this tweet that has multiple levels of irony:
Susan Collins turns her back on women who have been traumatized by sexual assault. Elections have consequences. To start turning the ship of state back towards the rule of law, decency, truth, and the preservation of Democracy, Nov.6 has to be a lot more than a blue wave. VOTE!!!

Come for the “liberal man lectures woman about not listening to other women,” stay for the claim that “guilty until proven innocent” is “rule of law” in the U.S.:
Progressive man shames a woman who hasn’t even verbalized her final decision yet. Evidence and truth matter more than your politics. Proclaiming guilt without evidence or following truth isn’t “rule of law,” it is the absence of it. https://t.co/4oGAqNvQJa

It’s simply amazing.
“Everyone who believes in due process and ‘innocent until proven guilty’ is pro-rape” is why you guys lose. https://t.co/Od9zsEgw8U

I thought rule of law meant innocent until PROVEN guilty?
But you seem to think mob rule and allegations is rule of law.

No, she's standing up for a man who has been accused without evidence. Innocent until proven guilty is an American standard.

Has Judge Brett Kavanaugh been charged or convicted of committing sexual assault? https://t.co/QCKDboq7rJ

Can you handle even more irony?
Didn’t you vote for Bill Clinton? https://t.co/QCKDboq7rJ
