Rep. Mike Collins, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Georgia’s 10th district since 2023, recently expressed his views on current social issues through a series of tweets. Born in Jackson, Georgia, and an alumnus of Georgia State University with a BA earned in 1990, Collins replaced Jody Hice in Congress and continues to voice his opinions on various matters affecting his constituents.
On June 10, 2025, Rep. Collins tweeted about the issue of looting and lawlessness. He stated: “Trump isn’t making your constituents loot Apple Stores. Your culture of lawlessness is.” This tweet suggests that he attributes such incidents not to political figures but rather to broader societal issues.
Later that day, at 14:45 UTC, Collins commented on civil unrest with another tweet: “The LA riots have shown that they unequivocally have not been sending their best.” This remark seems to reflect his stance on the nature and impact of the participants involved in these events.
At 15:08 UTC on the same day, he called for legislative action by tweeting: “End the riots. Pass the Safe Passage On Interstates Act. Now.” This indicates his support for measures aimed at ensuring safety during times of civil disorder.
Mike Collins was born in Jackson, Georgia in 1967 and currently resides there. His tenure in Congress began after succeeding Jody Hice in 2023.
