Collins is up for re election in 2020 and she is being heavily targeted by the D's to try and take her out.
They feel she is vulnerable and one of the best bets to flip the seat and take the senate.
They are trying to paint her as a rabid right wing Trump supporter.
When in reality she holds more moderate to liberal views.

Like Hatari said this is a lot of political posturing to try and keep her seat from being taken by the D's.
I'll give her a bit of a break for running her mouth a bit if it keeps her seat out of the D's hands.

Remember, they are terrified that Ginsburg is going to be replaced under Trump and if they can get control of the Senate, they can control who gets on the SCOTUS.
That's if they even allow that to happen at all.
They may just refuse to confirm any of Trumps nominees
