Within minutes of a shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday, Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) blamed President Joe Biden and called for him to be prosecuted.

Trump was speaking on stage at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania when shots rang out and he grabbed his ear. He was surrounded by Secret Service and rushed off the stage, with what appeared to be blood on the side of his face, and then driven away.

A spokesperson for the Secret Service issued a statement that Trump was safe and an active investigation was ongoing. Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung also issued a statement, saying that the former president was “fine” and “being checked out at a local medical facility,” as well as offering thanks to those who gave assistance.

Shortly after the incident, Collins posted a tweet accusing the president of attempting to assassinate his rival.

It should be noted that there is no evidence for this claim.

“Joe Biden sent the orders,” wrote Collins.

Collins followed up with another tweet calling for the local county prosecutor to “immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination.”

Collins has an extensive history of making outlandish and offensive comments, including tweeting that an undocumented migrant who was charged with assaulting an NYPD officer should be thrown from a helicopter, agreeing with an anti-Semitic tweet from a known neo-Nazi account, praising a video of a college student making racist gestures and taunts at a protester, and posting a crass joke about Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s brain worm and the assassinations that have killed multiple members of his family.
