Senate candidate Rep. Mike Collins’s (R-GA) son-in-law, who has been in close proximity to his Georgia Senate campaign, has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on a social media account that has shared posts promoting white supremacy and antisemitism.
David Alan Scheer II is married to Collins’s daughter, Summer, and attended the campaign’s victory party after the primary. He currently lives at an address owned by the congressman, according to voting registration documents reviewed by CNN. Scheer has over 900,000 followers on TikTok and 290,000 on Instagram for his content, which primarily focuses on fitness and Christianity.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Collins’s campaign for comment.
Throughout his social media pages, Scheer has dozens of posts making hateful remarks about Jews and Muslims, and has appeared on podcasts making statements promoting ethnic cleansing of individuals who are not of white European descent, the outlet’s report found.
Scheer posted a video to his 350,000 YouTube subscribers last year in which he promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories about World War II and the Holocaust.
“Sixty million Christians that were killed by Jewish Bolsheviks in the early 1900s right before World War II,” Scheer said in the video. “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.’”
When a commenter disagreed with the statements Scheer had made in his YouTube videos, saying the content creator was being antisemitic and promoting white nationalism, Scheer replied, “There’s nothing wrong with White Nationalism.”
While his Instagram and TikTok primarily focus on promoting Christian values, Scheer’s Telegram profile contains more blatant white nationalist language.
“We’re going to retake America for Christian White men,” one Telegram message from Scheer in November 2025 said.
Much of Scheer’s Telegram page voices staunch opposition to supporting Israel, while also espousing hateful rhetoric toward other ethnic groups.
“If we were really interested in saving the west we should be deporting all muslims,” Scheer said on June 22. “Let Israel fend for itself and move our troops from the Middle East to Europe where [they] can protect our kindred. No more Zionist wars!”
In a post following Independence Day, Scheer called for his followers to “organize.”
“We’ve got to be extremely diligent, and aggressively active in proselytizing national pride,” Scheer said on July 7. “We are [what] stands in the way of the west being overrun. Fight my brothers fight in every aspect of your lives. Study the constitution. Know your rights. Exercise them to the utmost in the eradication of evil from our great land.”
Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Collins’s general election competitor, seized on the report, with the incumbent calling Collins a “bigot and antisemite.” The senator cited a string of controversies involving the GOP candidate and members of his political orbit.
“Only a known bigot and antisemite like Mike Collins would enable the ongoing spread of neo-Nazi propaganda,” Ossoff, who is Jewish, said. “How much has Mike Collins paid neo-Nazi David Alan Scheer and is Scheer still based on Collins’ property? Mike Collins must apologize immediately for his and his office’s disqualifying ties to neo-Nazi ideology and notorious white supremacists.”
In recent months, Collins has replaced multiple top congressional aides following separate controversies, including scrutiny over a former chief of staff’s alleged efforts to help secure the release of a convicted Holocaust denier and ethical questions involving another longtime advisor.

Collins has also faced criticism over his own social media activity, including a 2024 post that critics said endorsed an antisemitic account and other posts that drew accusations of racist rhetoric, allegations he has denied or disputed.
Collins, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, defeated former football coach Derek Dooley in the Republican primary and is challenging Ossoff in one of Democrats’ most closely watched Senate races of the 2026 midterm elections.
