Mike Collins’ Former Staffer Posted KKK, Nazi Imagery
Preston Parra, a former Collins consultant, said the posts were satirical as Republicans warned his online activity could damage the Senate race.
- The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Preston Parra, a former intern and contractor for Rep. Mike Collins, shared social media posts depicting KKK imagery and a swastika constructed from the word "twink."
- Parra is the latest in a series of Collins' associates linked to white supremacist ideology, including former chief of staff Kip Talley and David Alan Scheer, who faced similar allegations of sharing racist or Nazi propaganda.
- While Parra claimed his content was "satirical," more than 50 Black Georgia lawmakers signed a statement condemning Collins for his associates' racist and antisemitic comments, widely panned by critics.
- A campaign spokesperson said Collins considers antisemitism "abhorrent," though he pivoted to criticizing Democratic opponent Jon Ossoff for failing to condemn antisemitism on the left sufficiently.
- With Republicans holding a 53-47 Senate majority, several Georgia Republicans fear the pattern of controversial associates could cost their party the race as Collins prepares to face Ossoff in November.
