The Hill reports:
Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) defended his decision to share a video of counterprotesters at the University of Mississippi harassing a Black woman at a pro-Palestine protest last week, responding to criticism that he was endorsing racist conduct.
“I understand and respect the feedback that’s been shared regarding a single individual during the Ole Miss protests,” Collins wrote in a statement Monday. “If that person is found to have treated another human being improperly because of their race, they should be punished appropriately, and will hopefully seek forgiveness.”
“Frankly, I did not believe that to be the focal point of the video shared at the time, but I recognize that there certainly seems to be some potentially inappropriate behavior that none of us should seek to glorify.”

Ole Miss and the fraternity has called it racist. But Charlie Kirk can’t seem to do it. Nor even admit it happened (allegedly).
