Collins: GOP silent because of Valentine's Day
Republican Rep. Chris Collins says his party's members are silent over the resignation of Michael Flynn because they're celebrating Valentine's Day with their wives.
"It's Valentine's Day and I guess they're having breakfast with their wives," Collins said on CNN's "New Day."
"Really, all I can say is, I'm sorry to see General Flynn go. I don't know the details of what transpired."
