During a GOP county meeting, Rep. Mike Collins was recorded stating his belief that former President Donald Trump is likely mentioned in the Epstein files. Collins referenced Trump’s actions of removing Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and informing the FBI as a basis for his claim, supporting the release of the files while acknowledging the legal complexities. Reports have indicated that Trump was informed in May about his name appearing in the documents reviewed by Justice Department officials, along with other notable figures, although mentions do not suggest wrongdoing. Despite these findings, officials have stated that additional files will not be released due to sensitive information.

During a Muscogee County GOP meeting, Georgia Senate candidate Mike Collins stated his belief that President Donald Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files.

During a press conference, Georgia Republican Mike Collins made the false claim that former President Joe Biden was responsible for the 2020 civil unrest following the death of George Floyd, even though Biden was not in office at the time. Collins inaccurately attributed the violence and unrest to Biden’s administration, blaming him for encouraging and even funding the protests, despite the fact that the then-President Donald Trump was in office at the time of Floyd’s death. While Trump drew criticism for his response to the protests, and at one point used force to remove protesters for a photo opportunity, Collins went on to blame “socialist woke politicians” for the country’s current state. Notably, Biden was not even president at the time.

Representative Mike Collins mistakenly Photoshopped a Senate office plaque, intending to mock Senator Chris Van Hollen’s visit to El Salvador to see a deported constituent. Instead of altering Van Hollen’s plaque, Collins digitally altered the plaque of Republican Senator Rick Scott, a past political ally. The altered image showed “El Salvador” replacing Scott’s constituency information. This error followed Collins’s previous accusations that Van Hollen was consorting with an MS-13 gang member, a claim that lacks supporting evidence.

I am deeply disturbed by the recent comments made by GA Rep. Mike Collins regarding the tragic issue of gun control in our schools. In the wake of yet another devastating school shooting, instead of addressing the urgent need for gun control measures, he has chosen to deflect the conversation towards the need for “more Jesus in schools”. As a concerned citizen, I find this response not only irresponsible but also dangerous.
The idea that introducing more religious elements into our schools will somehow prevent gun violence is not only nonsensical but also completely irrelevant to the issue at hand. The separation of church and state is a fundamental principle of our democracy, and it is deeply concerning that a public official would advocate for blurring those lines in such a pivotal debate.… Continue reading
Well, well, well, it seems like the Republican party just can’t help themselves when it comes to throwing baseless accusations around. This time, it’s Rep. Mike Collins who has taken it upon himself to accuse President Biden of supposedly sending orders to kill Trump in a bizarre post. I have to say, the audacity and lack of critical thinking displayed in this accusation is truly mind-boggling.
Let’s break this down logically. Even if we were to entertain the idea that Biden actually did send such orders, which is beyond ludicrous, wouldn’t Trump, with his Secret Service protection, have been better protected?… Continue reading
