After former President Donald Trump doubled down on his calls for the "termination" of the Constitution, most Republicans were silent. And some Trump supporters even deny that he called for suspending the Constitution.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger called out the former President on Twitter, and now Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) became the latest Republican to condemn Trump's call to terminate the Constitution over his unfounded claims of mass electoral fraud in 2020. And that made Trump supporters mad, even though upon taking office, senators-elect must swear or affirm that they will "support and defend the Constitution." They do not swear an oath to Lumpy.

Trump supporters called her a traitor.

Has anyone heard anything from Susan Collins about this? Is she concerned?
