Mike Collins, the Donald Trump-endorsed Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, is drawing fresh attention as questions mount over the social media history of his son-in-law.
David Alan Scheer II, who has been married to Collins’ daughter, Summer, for almost three years, has reportedly used public online accounts to circulate content tied to alleged antisemitic conspiracy theories, white nationalist messaging and imagery associated with Nazism.
Scheer has cultivated a sizable digital audience by posting about fitness, masculinity and Christianity, amassing more than 1.5 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Telegram.
The issue has gained traction because Scheer is not merely a distant relative of the Georgia Republican hopeful, but someone with visible personal and reported professional links to Collins.
He has appeared in family images circulated by Collins’ campaign and was present at the candidate’s Republican Senate primary victory event in May.
CNN reported that Scheer also created promotional material connected to Collins’ trucking company and allegedly resides on the congressman’s Georgia property, where voter records list him as registered.
His presence around the campaign has extended to Collins’ Senate campaign platforms and the May primary election watch party, where he was photographed alongside family members.
CNN was first to identify the posts and online interactions attributed to Scheer, reporting that they included material involving alleged antisemitism, racial nationalism and engagement with Nazi-linked content.

The reports have sparked a political firestorm, with Collins’ opponent – Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff – accusing the candidate of enabling the spread of extremist propaganda.
Ossoff sounded off in a fiery Facebook post claiming ‘bigot’ Collins is working to ‘enable the ongoing spread of neo-Nazi propaganda.’
‘How much has Mike Collins paid neo-Nazi David Alan Scheer and is Scheer still based on Collins’ property?’ he questioned.
‘Mike Collins must apologize immediately for his and his office’s disqualifying ties to neo-Nazi ideology and notorious white supremacists,’ Ossoff demanded.

The Collins campaign did not respond to the Daily Mail’s inquiry about whether it has given any money to Scheer.
His son-in-law shared an infographic from September – that he credited his wife for making – alleging that Jewish donors, organizations and institutions are exerting ‘financial dominance’ over American politics and US policy toward Israel.
He encouraged his followers to save and share the material according to the public post, first uncovered by CNN.
Both Scheer and his wife did not respond to the Daily Mail’s requests for comment.
In a November 2025 YouTube video, Scheer promoted the false ‘Jewish Bolshevik’ conspiracy theory, a claim historically used by Nazi Germany and extremist movements to portray Jewish people as collectively responsible for communism and political unrest.
‘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.’
Scheer has also shared and engaged with content connected to Patriot Front, an organization described by civil rights groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, as a white nationalist and white supremacist group
In the video, Scheer also repeated false conspiracy theories involving Jewish people and major historical events, including the assassination of President John F Kennedy, the September 11 attacks, and Jeffrey Epstein.
He then made unfounded claims that Jews were to blame for JFK’s death, the 9/11 attacks, and for the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist.
He further questioned mainstream Holocaust education and encouraged followers to challenge established historical accounts. These actions have led to accusations that Scheer promotes white nationalist ideas.
He responded to a commenter under his video who noted the video featured ‘anti-Semitism and white nationalism that is disturbing.’ He wrote, ‘There’s nothing wrong with White Nationalism.’
Scheer has also shared and engaged with content connected to Patriot Front, an organization described by civil rights groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, as a white nationalist and white supremacist group.
In one Telegram post, Scheer celebrated the views of one of his YouTube videos, writing: ‘We’re going to retake America for Christian White men!’
During a podcast appearance in November, Scheer argued that white people were facing demographic decline and said the United States should return to a society dominated by people of white European descent.
He also used the mic to criticize immigration from countries including Somalia, Mexico, and Nigeria, along with broader remarks about race, identity, and national demographics.
Scheer has additionally engaged with Nazi-associated imagery online, including liking a comment featuring lyrics from ‘Erika,’ a German marching song associated with Nazi-era propaganda.

The CNN report further alleged that Scheer shared an image adapted from a Nazi propaganda poster with the caption: ‘If you haven’t noticed, we all have a common enemy.’
Collins has not addressed Ossoff’s accusations about his son-in-law’s alleged extremist views.
A spokesperson for the Republican defended his record supporting Israel, but did not comment on Scheer’s online history.
‘Rep. Collins’ lifelong support for Israel is unquestionable and backed by his consistent record in Congress of standing up for Israel and her people, and stands in stark contrast to Jon Ossoff’s record of blocking aid to Israel and refusing to condemn the dangerous anti-Israel protests that erupted across our country after October 7,’ the spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
Georgia State Representative Esther Panitch, the only Jewish member of the Georgia General Assembly, condemned Collins’ silence in a social media post, accusing him of failing to condemn white nationalist and anti-Semitic views.
She claimed Collins’ support for Israel does not shield him from criticism over alleged anti-Semitism within his own family.
‘Being pro-Israel is not a hall pass for anti-Semitism. It is not a shield you hide behind when the hatred is in your own family, on your own property, with your own name attached, Panitch wrote.
‘Standing with Jews an ocean away means nothing if you won’t stand with the 150,000+ Jews who are your neighbors and constituents.’
The lawmaker, who says she has personally faced threats from neo-Nazis, warned that ignoring extremist hatred can have serious consequences and demanded that Collins publicly denounce the views in question.
The controversy comes as Collins campaigns in the tight race against incumbent Ossoff in one of the country’s most closely watched Senate races.
RealClearPolling’s average shows Ossoff leading Collins by 5.5 points (47.3 percent to 41.8 percent), with the remaining voters undecided or supporting other candidates.
