Collins Removes Son‑in‑Law Photo After Reports Tying Him to White‑Nationalist and Antisemitic Posts

The move increases pressure on party leaders to defend a Trump‑backed GOP nominee in a closely contested Georgia Senate race.

Overview

  • Monday reporting that David Alan Scheer II, Rep. Mike Collins’s son‑in‑law, promoted Patriot Front praise, Nazi imagery and antisemitic conspiracy posts prompted Collins to remove a family photo from his campaign website.
  • Sen. Jon Ossoff and Democrats demanded answers about whether Collins paid or housed Scheer and immediately launched attack ads that highlight the revelations.
  • Collins faces an active House Ethics inquiry and recent campaign staffing churn that Republicans say has compounded questions about his judgment and management.
  • The Republican nominee trails Ossoff in early polling and lags badly in fundraising even though the Senate Leadership Fund reserved $44 million for the race in April.
  • National Republicans continue public backing, including planned appearances with President Trump, but donor and operative unease has surfaced and could shape whether more resources follow.
