The Georgia representative practically drowned under reports of his team’s ties to extremism during the state’s first debate against Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff Thursday, unable to bat away the various white supremacist connections within his orbit.
At least four of Collins’s former staffers and aides have been accused of extremist affiliations. They include Collins’s former chief of staff Kip Talley, former digital director William Paul (the son of Kentucky Senator Rand Paul), and a former intern, Preston Parra (who has frequently shared Ku Klux Klan and Nazi images to his personal social media account, including an image of himself clad in the white supremacist groups’ hooded uniform).
But the hate bled even closer to home: CNN revealed in July that Collins’s son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II, was a white supremacist influencer that had shared vitriolic, extremist messaging across the internet.
“That’s my family. The craziness that Jon Ossoff has been spewing out there—I actually had a person put in jail this weekend, because he not only wanted to kill my son-in-law but he wanted to kill me,” Collins said when asked directly about his son-in-law’s social media activity. “I’ve condemned racism, antisemitism, hate. I don’t care where the source is, and I tell him that, too. It’s wrong.”
Ossoff’s response: “Imagine running for the U.S. Senate while neo-Nazi propaganda is disseminated to an audience of millions from your home. That’s Mike Collins.”
“If John Lewis were marching today,” Ossoff said, “Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club.
