The selection of Pelosi for the award is all the more perplexing
because there was a more obvious-and far more deserving-candidate for this
year’s Profile in Courage honor. Susan Collins, R-Maine, was subjected to threats of sexual
assault and even death ahead of the Senate’s vote in early October on the
nomination of federal Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. “

As a postscript to the story, the day after the JFK Library Foundation’s
April 7 announcement of Pelosi’s selection for its award, a Burlington, Maine,
woman appeared in federal court to face charges of mailing a threatening letter
to Collins over her vote.
