Report Links GOP Senate Hopeful Mike Collins to White Nationalist Influencer Through Family
Scheer has more than 1.5 million followers and has promoted Patriot Front, antisemitic conspiracies and Nazi imagery across social platforms.
- On Thursday, CNN reported that Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins has close ties to his son-in-law, David Alan Scheer, a social media influencer who has shared white supremacist and neo-Nazi content.
- Scheer has amassed more than 1.5 million followers across platforms by sharing antisemitic conspiracy theories and promoting Patriot Front, the white supremacist hate group that demonstrated in Washington, D.C., over July 4th weekend.
- The Collins campaign did not address the specific posts in its response, instead stating that "Rep. Collins' lifelong support for Israel is unquestionable and backed by his consistent record in Congress of standing up for Israel and her people."
- Democratic Senate incumbent Jon Ossoff seized on the report, calling Collins a "bigot and antisemite" and demanding an immediate apology for his ties to neo-Nazi ideology and white supremacists.
- Collins has previously faced criticism for his 2024 defense of January 6 rioters and alleged endorsement of antisemitic accounts, complicating his current Senate race against Ossoff amid broader scrutiny of his associations with far-right figures.
