GOP Rep. Doug Collins to Fox News: Democrats Have ‘Trouble Reading,’ Need ‘Hooked on Phonics’
Reacting to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler’s (D-NY) document requests as part of the committee’s comprehensive investigation into President Trump’s administration and businesses, the committee’s ranking member, Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), snarked to Fox News host Dana Perino on Wednesday that Democrats have “trouble reading.”
After saying Sunday on ABC’s This Week that it was “very clear that the president obstructed justice” and abused power, Nadler requested documents from 81 different individuals, entities, and organizations associated with Trump. The president has summarily dismissed the sweeping request and has hinted that the White House will not comply.
Asked Wednesday afternoon by Perino to give his thoughts on Nadler’s request, Collins blasted his Democratic colleagues by claiming they are starting with a hypothesis of “we don’t like the president.”
