A U.S. senator was caught Tuesday on a 'hot mic,' telling a colleague that a congressman who had challenged her to a duel over her health care positions is 'fat' and 'unattractive.' Maine Sen. Susan Collins was one of three Republican women in the upper chamber of Congress last week who held up a GOP-led package that would have repealed and replaced the Obamacare law. Rep. Blake Farenthold, a fellow Republican from Texas, told a radio host that if she were 'a guy from south Texas, I might ask him to step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style.' At the conclusion of a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday, Collins was heard talking with Rhode Island Democrat Jack Reed.

Fat can be lost with diets changes and exercise.

Ugly goes all the way to the bone, Senator.

And I suppose that is Susan Collins superimposed in the picture? <: <:

I guess he could have called her an ‘old hag/hack’ then maybe her husband would challenge him to a duel?

One of the few time I think I can agree with Susan Collins.

It may be the only way she’s RIGHT. Not Guilty!

Interesting that they decided to use this for the headline instead of what they said about trump

I guess a fat guy in nightwear gets more hits

Yep. Daily Mail showing it’s significant tabloid side.

Also: he specifically DIDN’T challenge her LOL!

Ferenholt won’t respond and let her dig her own grave.
She won’t even vote to agree to debate the healthcare bill.
So she’s OK with single payer, which is were it’s going.

Wow, and I thought Libtards were so strongly against “body shaming” nowadays..... they sure do drop the mask quickly whenever they want to attack.

Ofc, he does make an easy target.....

Congressman Farenthold may be fat and ridiculous, but I didn’t see anywhere that he pouted and refused to vote “yes” because no one offered to buy his vote with pork-you can bet your ass that is what that whiney Collins did.

I agree with his sentiments about dueling, too-if the law still allowed, some of these rinos could be “called out”/challenged-I’ll bet they’d vote with their colleagues rather than run a 50-50 chance of death in a duel...

She shared her comment about a fellow Republican Lawmaker to DemoncRat Jack Reed?

Well, we know who she likes to confide in now, don’t we?
