(Kevin Dietsch\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 6:35 PM PT \u2013 Saturday, June 26, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Yet another Maine County GOP group has voted to censure Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) over her vote in President Donald Trump\u2019s second impeachment trial. This week, the Kennebec County GOP voted to reprimand the Republican senator over the impeachment vote to convict the 45th president back in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that we need to send a message that you can be a good Republican and not necessarily agree with every position taken by the party. We need to get back to focusing on the principles that unite Republicans: so individual responsibility and freedom and strong national defense smaller government support for our small businesses, opportunity, those are guiding principles of our party,\u201d Collins formerly said. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s where the focus needs to be rather than on one particular leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More than five months after after her impeachment vote, Republican Sen.

They argued her vote to convict Trump was \u201ca purely self-serving, vindictive and punitive action by those with establishment political objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The state GOP has stood by Collins despite three different counties now formally censuring her. Collins was one of seven Senate Republicans to vote to convict Trump during the second impeachment.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/white-house-claims-increased-demand-for-gasoline-is-cause-of-high-gas-prices\/\">White House Claims Increased Demand For Gasoline Is Cause Of High Gas Prices<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Sen.
