For a moment it seemed Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) knew that, this time, he’d taken it too far.
Last week, the prolific shitposter lauded a group of fraternity brothers at Ole Miss who jeered a Black pro-Palestine protester—including one who made racist monkey noises at the woman—as “Ole Miss taking care of business.”
The mainstream media and left-leaning politicians’ response to Collins’ statement was swift and scathing. The archconservative freshman lawmaker is no stranger to controversy—in recent months he’s dubbed Haiti a “sh*thole” country and suggested an undocumented migrant be thrown from a helicopter—but this time, even Collins acknowledged his post amplifying naked racism warranted some damage control.
