Chris Collins speaking now: defending himself? Resigning?

[nolabear]

Over/under on the Deadpool?

[lapfog_1]

1. I think he is going to try to tough it out.

until he goes to jail of course

[dhol82]

2. Polishing his turd.

[MontanaMama]

3. Nope. I don't think he will resign.

He will say it’s all a witch hunt.

[Towlie]

4. Does anyone believe he'll keep his promise to not speak further on the matter?

[BumRushDaShow]

11. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nolabear]

5. Sounds like he's building a wall.

[matt819]

6. Post-shame era (nt)

[Solly Mack]

7. He began talking about how he scrimped and saved for the American Dream

On to how his investment was helping people with HIV.

And those with other conditions.

See? He was guided by altruism and concern for others.

Oh, and he's innocent he says.

[nolabear]

10. Vindicated! Exonerated! A saint!

[Solly Mack]

19. Yes. He could have come out and said those words and saved time

and saving time is saving money - since he cares so much about helping people.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. So far, sounds like he's looking for sympathy, portraying himself as a heroic promoter

of a wonder drug, and suggesting it's a political witch hunt (waiting for the "witch hunt" term). He cares more about people with MS, of course; and he's telling us what a great, selfless humanitarian he is.

[Old Vet]

14. Fuck Him, Its all about the money..........$$$$$$$$$

[drray23]

9. He is tooting his horn. Typical rw asshole. Me me me !

[RhodeIslandOne]

12. If you try to prosecute me, you hate people with MS!

[RockRaven]

13. Every politician who willingly associates with Trump is literally shameless.

So I don't see him or any of the others affiliated with this company resigning.

[RhodeIslandOne]

15. LOL, of course not! He refuses to answer anything!

[GemDigger]

16. Sorry Chris, you cannot justify this.

You are a crooked swamp creature.

[nolabear]

17. Welp. Glad he set the record straight. He didn't do what he did.

[joshcryer]

18. Read the indictment here, it's open and shut:

[HipChick]

20. Crime? No Crime...you poor smucks keep working and voting for me...pay your taxes..

I'll run...and ask no more questions...

[MontanaMama]

21. You guys!! We were wrong!!

Collins says he’s a good guy. He only had the best interests of folks with MS at heart. We’re done here.

🙄🤮🖕🏽

[nolabear]

23. I swear I cannot believe how people can just straight up lie.

It’s an art. One I hope never to master.

[lapfog_1]

22. nope not resigning...

"I did nothing wrong"

" I didn't sell my shares" (he was prevented from selling them by the Australian stock exchange... asshole liar)

[ooky]

24. No. Lying.

He should have hired a violin player for background music during that press conference.

[LandOfHopeAndDreams]

25. repubs Don't Resign, They Fight, Fight, Fight nt

[nolabear]

26. Because they're shameless, shameless, shameless.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

27. "I can't trust trump to pardon me"

In short lol

[honest.abe]

28. I suspect there is a Trump pardon in his future.

I think this all about trying to make him look like good guy so as to not stain Trump and Republicans any further than they already are.

[spooky3]

29. If Martha Stewart (D) did time, so should Collins. Nt
