On Thursday in rural Georgia, MAGA-oriented Representative and Senate candidate Mike Collins (R-GA) ended a press conference \u201cabruptly<\/u>\u201d when questioned about his son-in-law\u2019s antisemitic social media posts. Not only did he end the event out of nowhere, but he attempted to shift the focus onto his midterm opponent, Georgia\u2019s Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fully addressed that,\u201d said Collins when questioned about his son-in-law. \u201cBut Jon Ossoff refuses to disavow these Democrat socialist movements in our country.\u201d He added, without addressing the issue. \u201cJon Ossoff should answer for voting for men being in women\u2019s locker rooms,\u201d going on to say the Senator should also answer for inflation, high prices, and supporting \u201canti-Israel extremists.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThese aren\u2019t Georgia values, ya\u2019ll,\u201d Collins declared<\/u>, saying he would answer one last question before suddenly thanking the crowd and walking away. <\/p>\n

Earlier in the month, it was reported by CNN<\/u> that Collins\u2019 son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II, is a \u201ca pro-White nationalist and social media influencer with a track record of sharing antisemitic material and hateful imagery in comments across the internet. Scheer, who is married to Collins\u2019 daughter, Summer, is featured in family photographs on Collins\u2019 campaign website and social media. He attended Collins\u2019 Senate primary election-night victory party and appears to have helped produce promotional work for Collins\u2019 trucking company. Scheer is registered to vote at a Collins-owned property adjacent to the congressman\u2019s large home in Georgia.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to CNN, \u201cOn Instagram, Scheer recently shared<\/u> multiple posts promoting Patriot Front, the White supremacist<\/u> hate group that descended<\/u> on Washington, DC, over July 4th weekend. He has amassed more than 1.5 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Telegram by posting about fitness, masculinity and Christianity. On those same platforms, Scheer has promoted White nationalist ideology, spread antisemitic conspiracy theories, called for Muslims to be deported<\/u> and shared<\/u> an antisemitic infographic targeting Jews that he said his wife (Collins\u2019 daughter) made.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, \u201con a podcast from last November, Scheer warned that White people were being driven toward extinction and said restoring an America populated by people of White European descent would require \u2018clearing our land of other people.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Collins \u2014 a staunch Trump ally \u2014 \u201chas faced repeated criticism for his associations with far-right and extremist figures.\u201d CNN went on to detail further ties between Collins and Scheer, as well as an array of other far-right figures. The Representative has largely dodged answering questions about his son-in-law, and Ossoff has called for further information about Collins\u2019 extremist ties.<\/p>\n
