mike collins, a republican from georgia's tenth district, to send a tweet on saturday that joe biden sent the orders. it is hard to imagine a more incendiary message in the wake of an assassination attempt and he goes on, they go on to say it's hard to imagine more incendiary. mr. collins was retweeting and amplifying a tweet. the quoted president biden's remark last week, i have one job that's to be donald trump. and he of course, use the word bulls-eye. mr. biden, the journal says was employing a metaphor. however, an app given our political current, political distemper, he wasn't giving orders to anyone to shoot mr. you're trump and if he wanted to do so, he wouldn't do it in public. mr. collins is among those who think mr. biden lacks the mental acuity to be president. but then he accuses him of masterminding a conspiracy. now they also go on to say, people on the left also should not engage in political conspiracies, but that is going to be the basic impulse that all of our politicians are going to have to resist in this moment. >> yeah this is my ninth convention that i've work

mike collins, a member of the house of representatives , said during a public speech that joe biden gave the order to shoot his opponent in the election. i saw what happened in the night from saturday to sunday, i saw it in us too. let's distinguish expertise from emotions. in politics , emotions are also important, but in reality, everyone posted one photo on twitter, said that now it will all be resolved and everyone repeated the same thing. we also have our political experience in poland, for example. please share what you mean. episodes from the recent history of poland, i do not want to compare, i am talking about the similarity of only one aspect of emotions, because after the smolensk catastrophe, after april 10 , everyone thought, for example, that jarosław kaczyński will definitely be president, and bronisław komarowski became president by a good margin, so social emotions don't work as linearly as some people imagine, but that requires a little more analysis, so i get the impression that the experts are actually saying what you're saying, it may turn out that they are right, bu

the next day when we were back in class, one of mike collins came up to me and said, what did you thinkf our elections? i struggled a little bit. i said, you know, it's not perfect, but at least we are counting heads, not breaking them. several years later, 2014, i had just taken the helm at iri. i think they are the world's great democracy organization. isn't that right? my very first work, my very first project was travel with madeleine albright ukraine to serve as an election monitor for the first elections. two things i will always remember from that experience. i remember talking to election commissioners who said to us, you know, the night before the voting, almost all verse received anonymous text messages saying, we know where you live. i also rimer going to a polling place in kyiv to watch it open and i got there. when it finally opened, the first guy in was an old guy who had a walking stick and got up there, posted his brother, turned to us and said democracy. following year, i am an election observer in burma, 2015, the first openly contested election there in 25 years. i wa

it gets dangerous when the signs make someone think god is on their side republican congressman mike collins said, after the shooting, god spared ronald reagan for a reason. god spared donald trump for a reason. god doesn't miss really tell that to john lennon lincoln, jfk, rfk, and martin luther king look, the shot at trump was cowardly, unpatriotic, selfish violin week and he should rot in hell but thinking that god protects your heroes, but not mine, that isn't cool either maga nation we shouldn't because they are religious by nature and given to magical thinking had been trending towards demigod worship for a while. >> now, the shirts and flags and posters depicting trump, the redeemer the crosses and religious imagery that were heavy in the crowd on january 6. but trump didn't survive the attempt on his life because of divine intervention. he survived because of virgin, couldn't hit the fattest presidents since taft and i'm and again, make no mistake. >> i'm glad he couldn't trump is alive because he's a single luckiest mother who ever lived his whole, life is a string of you gotta be k

you had on a republican law maker from georgia, mike collins saying that joe biden should be investigated for inciting and assassination to time saying, joe biden gave an order saying, saying that very publicly on social media that said, there are, have a lot. there have also been a lot more let's, let's say positive reactions, more supportive reactions from many foreigners, many of perhaps out providing donald trump with supports saying that he's in their thoughts. he's in their prayers, his hearts go out to him and their families. but you do, but those sort of more inciting statements that does stand out as something that perhaps might not be particularly helpful at this time, or could serve to, to further escalate a situation that is already volatile strides. now, those with some really incendiary comments that you pointed out, but this is such a device, the device of company and already what does this mean for the country? i think it's an example, as you say, uh, of just how deeply entrenched the political divisions are. we, we go all over the country, we talked to trump supporters, w

. >> congressman mike collins, who posting on x, that president biden quote, sent the orders and you're told his donors that it's time to put trump in a bullseye folks. >> president biden has had very harsh rhetoric to look, i believe that the president is literally an existential threat. >> you said it's time to put trump in the bullseye it was a mistake to use or i didn't i didn't say crosshairs in the bullseye. focus on him, focus on what he's doing. >> trump particular is known for despicable language, knocks the crap out. a book like that. punch him in the face, so he shouldn't be forgiven in january sex shouldn't be forgotten simply because of butler, pennsylvania, you'll never take back our country with weakness. >> i think we should absolutely be concerned about the risk that rhetoric poses. we've seen the impact at the unite, the right rally in january 6. and so it's incumbent upon these individuals who do have these platforms to not lean into that rhetoric question is we'll alone acts of political violence, the followed by an intensification of political violence. telegram cha

on a very sad night -- mike collins tweeted joe biden sent the orders. senator j.d. vance, not yet chosen as running mate said the biden campaign's rhetoric quote, led directly to president trump's attempted assassination. now it is incredibly important to note we have no idea why the shooter did what he did hear we don't know the motive now. we may never know the motive and we certainly didn't know it when congressman collins the -- and senator vance sent out the tweets. but that didn't matter to them. all they wanted to do was blame joe biden and nothing was going to stop them. and in his convention speech thursday night donald trump didn't go quite as far as his friends in congress but after a long detailed recounting of the attack on his life, he did say this. >> in the spirit the democratic party should immediately stop weaponize thing the justice system and labeling their political opponents as an enemy of democracy. especially since that is not true. in fact, i am the one saving democracy for the people of our country. >> i am the one saving democracy. and her

for example, georgia republican congressman mike collins posted joe biden said the order and j.d. vance said the central premise of the biden campaign is trump is an authoritarian fascist and that led to his attempted assassination. nick adams posted joe biden's rhetoric is directly responsible, there can be no discussion. this is a fact. right-wing journalist sean davis wrote deranged democrats knew biden couldn't win so they incited one of their cronies to take his opponent out. a quick fact check, it is true that democrats called donald trump authoritarian and a threat to democracy but never hinted violence was an appropriate response and experts worry the false accusations increase the risk of more balance. >> thank you both so much. >>> i want to turn to law enforcement analyst and retired atf agent, jim cavanaugh. he joins me no. to meet every time there is a horrific shooting like this. this is exceptional. i want to get your initial reaction, is a former president lucky to be alive this morning? >> he is alive by three inches. really, kate, that is all. if the bullet was t

. >> and then you have congressman mike collins tweeting, "joe biden sent the orders." >> seth: at aen things are bad you are choosing to make things worth. you are choosing to inflame the national mood at a dangerous moment rather than show the leadership and basic decency it would take to calm things down. you should be ashamed. please stop. you are also wrong. engaging in the work of democracy and peaceful persuasion is the opposite of enciting violence. it is what we need more of, not less. accurately describing the dangers of autocracy and warning of attempts to dismantle our democracy have nothing to do with political violence. speaking plainly about the spector of authoritraianism is not only our democratic right, it's our civic duty. we must all continue to do it. that's where we will continue to do here on this show. we will keep talking about protecting democracy. we will keep telling jokes if for no other reason than we already paid the license this picture of rudy giuliani for the rest of the year.

republican mike collins accused president biden of ordering the assassination, joe biden sent the assassinationhat, — the orders? you will have to ask him about that, i — the orders? you will have to ask him about that, i am _ the orders? you will have to ask him about that, i am not _ the orders? you will have to ask him about that, i am not going _ the orders? you will have to ask him about that, i am not going to - the orders? you will have to ask him about that, i am not going to sit - about that, i am not going to sit here and say that with you but i will say some rhetoric about the president and his supporters has been horrible and comparing him to some of the worst people. i felt myself and my own family and any of his supporters spoken about in disgusting ways and we can all admit that we are to stage in our country where it is so fractured and divided that we all want a future. you can ask individuals for their own opinion but for me and our team it is about the future and moving forward and learning from what happened on saturday and making sure americans know that we should be united

and then you have congressman mike collins tweeting. joe biden sent the orders it seems like there is an appetite among some republicans to actually blame democrats and blame the other side. and even suggest falsely that this was ordered well, i have no belief that it was ordered, but clearly the atmosphere in the country, it has become divisive. may let's them forget that it wasn't too many years ago that the sec number two guy and the republican party in the house of representatives but man tried to murder him at about ten other republicans. on the baseball field. do you remember that steve scalise? i certainly did. or are people that respond this way? >> speaker pelosi, even more recently, her husband i guess what indefensible the down the line among rank and file republicans. trump has been giving them a message of, retribution. we're going to purge the government of our enemies. are they going to accept from him this change of tone? >> i think most republican voters who are for trump in most independence and who we are not necessar

i was proud to partner with representative mike collins to get language included in the water resources development act to stop the corps' disastrous plan and clarify congressional intent to maintain our pool level at the 114.5 feet. this is a big win for the residents of my district and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, this is sara. mr. bowman: sara's a 17-year-old palestinian girl whose entire body was burned by an israeli bomb. she could not seek immediate medical attention because the. i d.f. had her home -- us -- because the i.d.f. had her home surrounded. it's a miracle she survived. her brother and sister did not. that israeli bomb was paid for by the american tax dollar. we continue to fund the collective punishment of civilians in palestine, in gaza. sara is not hamas. she is a civilian. she is innocent. she

let's get right to former arkansas governor mike huckabee, former georgia congressman and judiciary ranking member doug collinsay, mike huckabee, first to you. a new cbs poll, trump has his widest national lead over biden ever at 5 points. it's 52-47. trump is up 4 points in 538. mike huckabee, people saying that was an exciting, momentous, electrifying rnc, but with we've got reports coming in now, mike, biden -- the biden campaign just concluded their all hands on deck phone call. he's not dropping out. reports are coming in that biden is saying it's all about protecting his 50-year legacy, and he's just now saying he's the unifire. isn't his party fracturing? >> you know, it's a tough thing for joe biden. i think doug and i would both tell you that the only thing harder getting into a race for political office is the decision to get out. and joe biden's having a real hard time, probably because he's really not that cognitive of how everything is coming down on him. but the sad thing is joe biden has a choice to go out gracefully on his own terms and make the decision, or it looks like the democrats are goin
