Washington, D.C. — Following the release of remarks made by Donald Trump in 2005, Senator Collins released this statement:
“Donald Trump's lewd comments are the latest in a series of remarks he has made ranging from inappropriate to reprehensible that demonstrate why he is unsuitable for the presidency. It was comments like these, including the statements he made about John McCain, a disabled reporter, the family of a fallen soldier and more, that caused me to decide this summer that I could not support his candidacy.”
