GOP Senate Nominee Very Close to His White Nationalist Son-in-Law | The New Republic

What Will It Take For Republicans To Finally Disown Collins?

Representative Mike Collins has publicly bragged about his relationship with his son-in-law, who just happens to be a white nationalist influencer.
The Republican Senate nominee in Georgia, Mike Collins, has close ties to a white nationalist influencer: his son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II.
CNN reports that Scheer is registered to vote at a Collins-owned property, has been featured in Collins's campaign photos, and was at Collins's victory party after he won the Republican primary in June. Scheer, who is married to Collins's daughter Summer, shares Nazi and antisemitic material online, including posts from the white nationalist hate group Patriot Front.
Scheer has more than 1.5 million combined followers across Telegram, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, and posts mostly about fitness, Christianity, and masculinity, according to CNN. He has also called for Muslims to be deported, and shared an antisemitic infographic that he said his wife made.
On one podcast in November, Scheer said that white people were in danger of going extinct and that restoring the United States as a white country would require "clearing our land of other people." Also in November, Scheer posted a video to YouTube attacking "Jewish Bolsheviks" and invoking pro-Nazi conspiracies.
"Sixty million Christians that were killed by Jewish Bolsheviks in the early 1900s right before World War II," Scheer said. "They don't tell us the history about Germany before World War II. All we're told is, 'Germany bad, Hitler evil, don't ask questions, Holocaust, Holocaust, Holocaust, here's 50 movies every year about the Holocaust and why it's so bad.'"
In a statement to CNN, Collins's campaign did not address Scheer's posts or beliefs, instead saying, "Rep. Collins' lifelong support for Israel is unquestionable and backed by his consistent record in Congress of standing up for Israel and her people."
Collins's track record also verges on bigotry, as the congressman has complained about a halal restaurant in the House Rayburn building, harassed a Jewish reporter using antisemitic tropes, cheered on racist protesters in Mississippi in 2024, and blamed diversity, equity, and inclusion programs for train derailments. Maybe Collins has more in common with Scheer than he is willing to admit.

sex crimes, fascism, religious bigotry, and white supremacy are the 4 cornerstones of the maga republican party ...
Look, I'm sorry but so what? As a father you love your daughter but often have no control over who she loves and marries. My question would be if he supports those beliefs or just ignores them for his daughter's sake.
white nationalism is pretty much the confederacy 2.0. those 2 goobers aren't very far apart at all ...
See Comment 2, below. Collins has a sordid history of bigotry and anti-Semitism.
His daughter is apparently no better:
Then he is no better than the son in law, that's what should decide him getting anyone's vote. Not the relationship with a relative.
most of those goober magas have a sheet hanging in their closets ...
It sounds like republicans have their guy.
Sounds worse than Platner. There is no chance the candidate did not know of his son in laws activities.
He's a republican. Even if a woman accused him of sexual abuse, he's a good man! And being close to his son-in-law shows his family values cred
And it the voices against him get too shrill he can just say he prayed and god forgave him.
that works every time, unless they're a democrat ...
It's the world seen through MAGA red tinted glasses. The Trumpublican party cannot afford to admit facts and reality, for the moment it does...
Oh shit! Does this mean I'm wearing the glasses?
there's no daylight between confederate goober racism and white nationalism ...
They're the ones wearing the red tinted glasses that make even convicted felons and accused pedophile Republicans look like choir boys. You seem to be wearing the glasses that let you see MAGAites as they really are, the soulless skeletal cleaning crew in Trumps rectum.
nah, your eyes are probably bloodshot ...
Such good Christians. WWJD (who would Jesus deport?)
