I missed the part where he accepted responsibility for his actions. It took all of 11 words for him to get to Nancy Pelosi!

Rep. Collinsâ name will remain on the ballot in the November midterm election in #NY27, unless challenged in court (possible). There is also still some chance that a write-in candidate could defeat the Democrat running here, but seems unlikely given the above.— G. Elliott MorrisðÂÂÂð¤·âÂÂâÂÂ︠(@gelliottmorris) August 11, 2018
