Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee and candidate for the U.S. Senate, joins 'Fox & Friends' with insight.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Mine question would be to the
speaker: why is she here on a
Saturday talking about a slimmed
down version of the postal
service?
Is she saying the postal service
is more important than
unemployed Americans?
Is she saying that the postal
service is more important than
help to small businesses?
Is she saying that the postal
service is more important than
sending payments to people?
She is here doing a slimmed down
version, very slimmed, down
version of a negotiation that
took place a few weeks ago when
we made the ten billion dollar
offer for postal,
it doesnt seem to correspond
with the action that is being
taken,
Jedediah that was Mark meadows
weighing in on this bailout bill.
We see unfolding
a lot of controversy surrounding
the post office right now
well bring in Georgia, GOP,
congressman, Doug Collins, a
member of the House judiciary as
well
congressman welcome to the show,
as always,
want to get your take. What
happened in the house with
respect to this vote?
What was it really all about?
It was a Mr Bit call
theater
political theater.
That is all it was
Speaker Pelosi trying to extend
the national convention one more
day to take more headlines to
get a hit at the p.
To make a case, there is vast
conspiracy out in the pose Sal
it was.
Postal service is solvent until
August next year
they highlighted states who were
trying to get too close to an
election, counted their votes,
putting a time too short to
actually get the votes in,
but the real reason here they
simply this is. I have said
this before this is democratic.
Voter suppression
theyre trying to make people
scared to vote.
Speaker Pelosi said it.
You dont need to take your life
into your own hands to go vote
that is so false. A narrative it
needs to be put out there.
This is nothing more than
political, theater,
basically Speaker Pelosi, putting
a political statement over the
american people in this crisis.
Right now
will congressman im glad you
bring up political theater.
I have questions about
appearances.
This story gets more and more
complicated. This is reminiscent
of the Russia story that drove
the news cycle for years.
I had to do a lot of research
bearing into the details.
There is plenty of cash for the
postal service.
There seems to be plenty of
capacity.
Mail parcels are way down.
My question is about
appearances.
There has been a slow down in
mail service since July.
Apparently, consumers have
noticed it
admitted by the post office.
The postmaster general said he
wants to put off any of this
streamlining until after the
election to avoid the appearance
much any improprieties.
How do you explain the way this
is coming off to a lot of
Americans?
Well, explain it by the
way. Welcome to your new place at
Fox
good to have you
will tou so much
really im glad you hit it,
because there has been two
narratives here:
ive been at the forefront of
this fake Russia, narrative and
whole impeachment sham weve
been dealing with for a long
time.
The real issues at the
Department of Justice.
There is correlation here.
The Democrats are coming up
discussing this.
The postmaster general did. What
I think is right.
Unfortunately, I say this many
times. Perception is reality to
people
perception generated by the
Democrats. There was this massive
collusion among the postmaster
and general to throw the
election.
The reality is during the virus.
You have folks, mail system is
working, but you also have the
normal outside cycles, with
people not being in work and
post office doing the best it
can
theyre doing a good job of
getting delivered to the people
that need it. That is the concern
as were coming into this.
There is nothing being taken
off line,
go deeper here,
theyre talking about taking
sorting machines off line,
taking mailboxes and moving
them.
Some pictures used by mailboxes
stand alone, mailboxes taken
off line were years ago, and they
were reusing them now to show
something happening now. This is
deeper process. We have to look
into it
November. Third will be the
election.
People will be allowed to go
vote.
They have a chance to say what
they want for the country.
I think we need to take fear out
of it.
Theyre using postal service,
like the Russia impeachment to
get to this President
PETE absolutely
preview of the Rnc
Joe Biden said it is a battle
for the soul of America.
What do you expect the core
message to be this week?
I think. Last week we saw
Joe Bidens message was a sunset
speech.
He sees America in the sunset of
its greatness, where I believe
President Trump sees it in the
sunrise of the greaters in
he will talk about the land of
heroes, a land of
opportunity, a land of hope,
a land of greatness.
We can overcome the virus and
greatness in this world.
We focus on what can be done.
Not what the Democrats saw is a
land of disopportunity
well see a land of
opportunity.
President Rnc will put that out
in our convention
Jedediah. We look forward to see
what the Rnc has for us.
