Rep. Doug Collins apologized Friday for saying that Democrats are “in love with terrorists” and mourn Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani more than they “mourn for our Gold Star families.”
In a five-part tweet posted Friday morning, the Georgia Republican, one of President Trump’s staunchest defenders during the House impeachment inquiry, walked back the remarks he made Wednesday during an interview with Fox Business host Lou Dobbs.
“Let me be clear: I do not believe Democrats are in love with terrorists, and I apologize for what I said earlier this week. The comment I made on Wednesday evening was in response to a question about the War Powers Resolution being introduced in the House and House Democrats’ attempt to limit the president’s authority,” Collins explained. “As someone who served in Iraq in 2008, I witnessed firsthand the brutal death of countless soldiers who were torn to shreds by this vicious terrorist. Soleimani was nothing less than an evil mastermind who viciously killed and wounded thousands of Americans. These images will live with me for the rest of my life, but that does not excuse my response on Wednesday evening. I remain committed to working with my colleagues in Congress and with my fellow citizens to keep all Americans safe.”
During Wednesday’s interview, Dobbs, one of the president’s most ardent supporters on cable television, took issue with the Democratic response to Trump’s order for Soleimani’s killing, prompting Collins with the question, “How venal, how vapid can one party become?”
“Nancy Pelosi does it again, and her Democrats fall right in line,” Collins responded. “One, they are in love with terrorists — we see that. They mourn Soleimani more than they mourn our Gold Star families, who are the ones who suffered under Soleimani. That’s a problem.”

It works for Democrats.
They’re not in love with them They greatly admire terrorists.
I wish no Republican would apologize to the Democrats. They don’t to Republicans and say ten times things that are more offensive.
Gal Qaeda does so love them
Wuss should’ve said, “Prove me wrong.”
Yahoo doesn’t say sh!t for Democraps claiming Trump colluded with Communists and that he’s to blame for Iran killing 180 people on a plane.
FUYahooooo
I wouldn’t. I had two muzzie guys leave my flight because they saw me on the flight deck doing my pre-flight checks.
I would never apologize for stating facts and the truth. No0r should Rep. Collins!!
It is best never to apologize to Democrats, especially for telling the undeniable truth.
Maybe just say “I’m sorry if the truth of my remarks made you uncomfortable by exposing you for the treasonous louse that you are.”
It’s true.
Democrats and the enemedia.
If you ever want to hear about how much America sucks, ask these people.
Right.
I was going to say the Dems are not in love with terrorists but are going steady and wearing the ring like the corpse hand of Sulemeini wore.
Well, maybe Jerry Nadler has a man crush on some of them. Especially the guys who send him Omaha Steaks subscriptions to show they care.
A prerequisite for being an R these days would seem to be being a spineless fruit.
Rep. Collins is one of the GOP stalwarts in the House.
So, I’ll give him a pass on this one. The RATs may not be “in love” with terrorists, but they consistently show weakness that amounts to the same thing.
And watch how many do.
As demonicRAT after demonicRAT continue to blame President Trump for shooting down that Ukrainian airliner unchallenged.
Why apologize. Its the truth. They love terrorists of Black Lives Matter and AntiFa. They do not even think them terrorists when the riot and beat up people in gangs.
The Dems indeed do love terrorists.
It works for Democrats, because they are Democrats, and simply dismiss all their evil, all their stupid, all their incompetence as “old news”, “unsubstantiated”, or “debunked”, and proceed as though they are exonerated whether they are, or not.
Should NEVER EVER apologize for telling the TRUTH. The Democrat Party wants to steal the phrase “Death To America” and have it at their next convention
Agree...never apologize to the RATs
