Collins on hot mic: Farenthold 'so unattractive, it's unbelievable'

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) was caught on a hot mic Tuesday talking about the looks of GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), who a day earlier was quoted in a story blaming “some female senators from the Northeast” for the healthcare repeal impasse.

“Did you see the one who challenged me to a duel?” Collins asked Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) following a spending bill markup.

“Trust me, you know why he challenged you to a duel? Because you could beat the shit out of him,” Reed says.

Collins then brought up a picture of Farenthold that was taken at fundraiser while he was wearing duck-print pajamas and standing next to a lingerie model. “He’s so unattractive, it’s unbelievable,” Collins says. “Did you see the picture of him in his pajamas next to this bunny, playboy bunny?”

disgusting. So many republican chickenhawks without any honor. If he really wanted to fight, and had the courage to do so, he could have joined America's Armed Forces. Shameful.

is a joke of a congressman, a very bad joke. His voters must secretly hate themselves to vote for such a repugnant schmuck
