Dec 2017

At a U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Collins was overheard saying on a hot mic, "Did you see the one who challenged me to a duel?"

A male voice, whom The Hill newspaper identified as U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, responded: "Trust me, you know why he challenged you to a duel? Because you could beat the shit out of him."

According to the recording, Collins responded, "He's so unattractive, it's unbelievable ... Did you see the picture of him in his pajamas next to this bunny?"

"If a tape came out with Donald Trump saying ... 'I really like to rape women,' you would continue to endorse him?" the MSNBC anchor asked? "That would be bad. I would have to consider it," U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold said.
