Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins has built a national profile as a combative, Trump-aligned online provocateur — a style that has repeatedly drawn scrutiny over his associations with far-right figures, inflammatory social media posts and accusations of antisemitism, which he has denied.
Now, one of the starkest examples of extremism in the Georgia congressman’s orbit appears much closer to home: his son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II, a pro-White nationalist and social media influencer with a track record of sharing antisemitic material and Nazi imagery in comments across the internet.
Scheer, who is married to Collins’ daughter, Summer, is featured in family photographs on Collins’ campaign website and social media. He attended Collins’ Senate primary election-night victory party and appears to have helped produce promotional work for Collins’ trucking company. Scheer is registered to vote at a Collins-owned property adjacent to the congressman’s large home in Georgia.
On Instagram, Scheer recently shared multiple posts promoting Patriot Front, the White supremacist hate group that descended on Washington, DC, over July 4th weekend. He has amassed more than 1.5 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Telegram by posting about fitness, masculinity and Christianity.
