I am concerned about our Representative, Mike Collins. He has recently taken to Twitter (X) to make comments that are simply unacceptable: “You either die a Kennedy with a hole in the brain or live long enough to become a Kennedy with a hole in the brain.”
In another tweet, he shared a video of a crowd of (mostly) young white men confronting a single black woman at a campus protest, adding the words “Ole Miss taking care of business.”
In case Mr. Collins missed this lesson in history class,President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 after a gunman shot him in his head and back while he rode in a motorcade in Dallas. Robert F. Kennedy Sr. was killed in Los Angeles five years later while campaigning for president. He was shot several times, including in the back of his head; the bullet left fragments in his brain.
I encourage Mr. Collins to think about his words and his focus. It’s time to get back to work for the American people.
