Collins kicked off the town hall by giving Trump the opportunity to denounce baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, which he refused to do.
While on the topic of the 2020 election, Collins asked Trump whether or not he felt he owed then-Vice President Mike Pence an apology, after Pence claimed the former president “endangered his life” on January 6.
“No, because he did something wrong,” Trump replied. “He should’ve put the votes back to the state legislatures and I think we would’ve had a different outcome.”
Later, Collins questioned why Trump waited three hours before instructing his supporters to leave the Capitol on January 6, Trump deflected accountability and blamed inaction on Nancy Pelosi.
