Florida gubernatorial candidate Jay Collins isn't backing down from a primary debate challenge. He responds directly to his opponent and explains the viral story behind his "participation trophy" prosthetic leg demonstration to Fox News' Bill Melugin.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Wrong. He's been invited to two debates and won't accept, despite continually posting "any place, any time, any moderator."

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ He has more than one opponent lol. And he has refused to debate them despite a debate being available and offered to him.

@Collinslayla @JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Jay has said the last word on the debate. It is now cancelled because of Jay. This only helps Byron. I believe these two are just mocking you all now.

@CollinsWarRoom @JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Collins is Floridians only hope. The drug dealer scammer who refuses to debate is not the answer. He’s done NOTHING for Florida

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Let's go Jay! NEVER EVER DONALDS!!??

@BiologicalWoma2 @JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Collins will make an excellent Governor! Governor for the people.❤️🇺🇸

@PuwalskiFL @JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Yes! I'm glad you're finally getting some recognition. Keep up the pressure! Thank you @BillMelugin_ for bringing attention to this. Floridians just want the opportunity to hear all the candidates debate. This is for our benefit, not Byron's.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Why did Jay Collins advance legislation that granted only cops and the military an exemption to FL's gun purchase waiting period but not law-abiding Floridians? Cops' lives aren't more important than Domestic Violence Victims.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ @JayCollinsFL has been invited as well as @ByronDonalds to debate by the other 2 candidates on July 15 on a televised debate in Jacksonville, both have refused to accept the invite and both, as well as the Republican Party of Florida will pay the price when the election comes.

@TheRorschach1 @JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Put Paul Renner on! Collins is a carpetbagger clown🥴

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ I guess that's why he refused 2 debates on 7/15 and 7/22, right?

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ I'm voting for @JayCollinsFL We need a debate ASAP

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Freaking boss move.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ No Bill, he is. He is the only one other than Byron to avoid July 15th debate. @j_fishback @Paul_Renner

@realDonaldTrump @VP @PressSec Why is @ByronDonalds refusing to debate the other candidates? Every candidate worth his salt debates their opponents... He's riding his entire campaign and making big $$ off your endorsement. Harris did the similar when she blew over 1.5 billion and lost in a landslide to you. Please rethink this and listen to the people who live in the Florida that support you.

@saguaroblossom @JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ GOOD 🔥

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ We want jay

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Finally ! Thank you for covering this, all we hear from Fox is the coronation of Byron Donalds. I want Ron DeSantis and if we cant have him ill take whoever he endorses which is the great Jay Collins!

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Please announce when you'll have Paul Renner on. Fair and Balanced.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Byron is a RINO.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Let me see if I can make this clear. I would regretfully vote for Crooked Waltz before Donald’s. He is BLM drunk liar!🤥. He is the deep State plan to destroy Florida. It’s too free. Not perfect but still alive. I have been right for 20 years. On everything.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Apparently he only thinks that Donalds is the only other man in the race- what an insult to the other candidates?

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ I'm in Fl-07 and voting for Jay Collins!

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ lol Jay refused the CBS debate, why are yall lying? It’s Fishback or bust.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Fake news. He is pretending to call for a debate but yet he is refusing to show up to the Jax news debate. Top four candidates were all invited. Why won't @JayCollinsFL show up?

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ He refuses to debate @Paul_Renner and @j_fishback. He pulled off his prosthetic for recognition, and it worked. The fact remains that he needs to debate all candidates in July on CBS, what is he scared of?

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ If Bryon keeps making ridiculous stances, a debate won't be necessary ..

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ JAY ALL THE WAY !

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Say what you want about Trump but he had the balls to debate anyone.

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Fox News is trash. Can you be less transparent about your agenda?

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ I am so tired of him talking about his leg… like we already know. Now tell me how you are going to lead…the more he spins the same crap, the less I am inclined to vote for him

@JayCollinsFL @FoxNews @BillMelugin_ Jay Collins is nothing more than a theatrical Grift act! I ain’t backing down lmao 🤣 what a load of Bull shit Jay’s favorite topic lol Jay has a chance to debate and was a straight up chicken shit 💩 Voters are over his theatrical grift act
