Georgia GOP Senate nominee's son-in-law posted Nazi imagery, antisemitic claims

Scheer registered to vote at Collins-owned property, attended victory party

Georgia Republican Senate nominee Mike Collins has close ties to David Alan Scheer II, whom CNN and The Guardian reported is a white nationalist social media influencer married to Collins’ daughter Summer, according to reports published Thursday.

Scheer, a social media personality with more than 1.5 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Telegram, has a documented history of sharing antisemitic material and Nazi imagery online, the reports said. On a podcast last November, Scheer warned that white people were being driven toward extinction and said restoring an America populated by people of white European descent would require “clearing our land of other people.” He later said he wanted to keep Somalis, Mexicans and Nigerians in their home countries so he could “enjoy my slice of this world with my people,” The Guardian reported.

Scheer also blamed “Israel and Zionist Jews” for policies he said were intended to “undermine the white, Christian nature of America” and stated, “I do believe that the more homogenous a culture is, the more it thrives.”

In an Instagram post from June 2025, Scheer posted a meme of a family cradling a baby with an eagle in the background and text reading “I want to make babies not die for Israel.” The caption said: “If you haven’t noticed, we all have a common enemy.” The image, according to The Guardian, came from a 1930s Nazi propaganda and recruitment poster bearing a quote that translates to “The Nazi party protects the people’s community.”

Scheer recently asked his followers to vote on a poll about whether he should make a video on “why Gen-Z doesn’t hate Hitler,” CNN reported. He deleted the poll, but CNN preserved a copy. He has invoked the antisemitic “Jewish Bolsheviks” conspiracy theory, which falsely portrayed communism and the Bolshevik revolution as a Jewish plot and was embraced by the Nazis.

In a YouTube comment section from November 2025, Scheer liked a comment in German quoting a 1930s marching song co-opted by the Nazis called “Erika.” On Telegram last year, he shared an infographic claiming Jews control the U.S. government through financial influence, attributing the graphic to his wife. He has also claimed Jews are responsible for porn, the assassinations of JFK and conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and the 9/11 terror attacks, and repeated the conspiracy theory that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent, according to The Guardian.

CNN reported that Scheer is registered to vote at a Collins-owned property in Georgia, has been featured in Collins’ campaign photos, and attended Collins’ victory party after the candidate won the Republican primary in June.

Collins, a Republican congressman for Georgia’s 10th district since 2023 who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, has previously faced scrutiny over his associations with far-right and extremist figures, incendiary social media activity, and accusations of antisemitism, which he has denied. He has also denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election and defended Jan. 6 rioters, whom he has said deserved pardons, according to The Guardian.

The Guardian said it reached out to Collins’ campaign for comment. A spokesperson for Collins told CNN: “Rep Collins’ lifelong support for Israel is unquestionable and backed by his consistent record in Congress of standing up for Israel and her people.” The campaign did not address questions regarding Scheer and his social media activity.

Collins won the Republican nomination in June but enters the general election as an underdog in a state Trump won in 2024, facing Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November’s midterm election.
