Mike Collins

U.S. Rep. Mike Collins, already considered the underdog in his race to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, is now facing a new controversy surrounding white nationalist and antisemitic statements by his son-in-law who lives on his property.

A spokesman for Collins pointed to his record supporting Israel in response to the multiple social media accounts, first reported on by CNN, in which the congressman’s son-in-law used Nazi imagery and posted videos and images using white nationalist tropes. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution confirmed the posts, which are still active on various social media platforms.

“Rep. Collins has always condemned all forms of antisemitism, including this, and always will regardless of the source,” the spokesman said. “Collins’ lifelong support for Israel and the Jewish people is guided by his personal beliefs and backed by his consistent voting record.”
