Senators Collins and Reed Caught on Hot Mic Worrying Trump is “Crazy”

HeadlineJul 26, 2017

Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island were caught on a hot mic expressing concern that President Trump is “crazy” at the end of a Senate subcommittee hearing on Tuesday. This is Senator Reed.

Sen. Jack Reed: “I think—I think he’s crazy.”

Sen. Susan Collins: “I’m worried.”

Sen. Jack Reed: “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.”

And that was Senator Collins, saying she’s worried. Earlier this month, more than 20 Democratic lawmakers expressed support for a bill introduced by Maryland Congressmember Jamie Raskin that would create a commission to determine if the president is mentally or physically unfit for office.
