Collins staffer posted swastika and KKK imagery on social media, Ossoff says
A former staffer for Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) posted images of a swastika and himself in Ku Klux Klan robes on X in June and July, according to reporting by the Washington Post. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), who is running for reelection, characterized the incident at a press conference as evidence of Collins's connections to white nationalism and neo-Nazi ideology, calling Collins a "bigot." Ossoff has incorporated the Washington Post report into his reelection campaign messaging against Collins.
