Sen. Susan Collins of Maine is the latest Republican to face angry constituents while home this August recess.

Collins made a surprise appearance at an infrastructure project ribbon-cutting event in Searsport on Tuesday, and was met with a rowdy group of residents shouting, “Shame, shame, shame.”

“Ma’am, if you could let me celebrate,” Collins said in response to a resident airing concerns about cuts to Medicaid and Medicare.
