Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, was heckled and drowned out at times by demonstrators at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in her home state Tuesday, the latest in a series of confrontations between protesters and members of Congress.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” protesters yelled at Collins as she cut the ribbon to mark the completion of the long-running Route 1 construction project in Searsport.

The demonstrators were yelling about cuts to Medicare, Israeli attacks on Gaza and Donald Trump’s nominees on the Supreme Court, video of the event shows.

    Are there any public places they can go without being heckled? And can we get some raging assholes to those places please?
