Former Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) on Tuesday began his two-year prison sentence at Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Fla. after failing to delay his report date to the coronavirus pandemic.

Collins's attorneys Jonathan Barr and Jonathan New tried to get his report date pushed back to December over the number of COVID-19 cases in Florida. It was previously moved to Oct. 13 since the 70-year-old's age puts him at higher risk for complications from COVID-19.

The former congressman and Trump ally was originally set to begin his sentence on March 17.

"In the absence of a decision on his motion for an extension of the reporting date, Mr. Collins has reported as initially directed to FPC Pensacola," Barr and New said in a statement, according to reports. "Although he is greatly concerned about the serious risks to his health from COVID-19 by reporting, he looks forward to putting this chapter behind him."

7. I've been actively following & supporting Nate McMurray since 2018. Please, please support Nate!

Western New York and the Finger Lakes region keep electing corrupt bozos, one after another. Nate is in the running, and can pull this off with enough support. Once he makes it to the House, his enthusiasm and local commitment will keep him there.

Please help us propel Nate into the House of Representatives.

9. Covid-45 supporters

of advanced age should not get released from prison early due to the pandemic. They’re “brave” pro-virus, pro-herd-immunity warriors and should walk the walk.
