Republican Sen. Susan Collins has been getting phone messages from people who have come unglued about the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh:
"It's getting ugly"@SenatorCollins' staff receiving abusive calls – @ShannonMossTV reports for @newscentermaine tonight.
Staffers in our 6 Maine offices – and in our D.C. office – are receiving offensive, sometimes vulgar calls – harassing the staff.#mepolitics pic.twitter.com/n7In76LJHg

Pretty nasty and vitriolic, right? For some MSNBC panelists, what you might call “unhinged,” they call “passion”:

Hey, they’d say the same things if those calls were placed to Democrat offices, right? *Eye roll*
I'm old enough to remember when dems called peaceful Tea Party protests on Capitol Hill "violent"
But sure, these kinds of threats are completely fine https://t.co/ddgPcfZeBW

It cannot be stressed to American voters hard enough that if you don't hand Dems a stunning defeat in the midterms, you will be ruled by thug tactics for years to come, because they will have been validated. https://t.co/Dayr2RECZa
