Social media posts by Collins and those in his circle draw more political fire

ATLANTA — Social media posts by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Collins and his associates have become a target of Sen. Jon Ossoff and his allies. U.S. Rep. Mike Collins, who hopes to unseat Ossoff, the Democratic incumbent, has a history of edgy online posts. Scheer wrote in his Telegram post that the included infographic had been prepared by his wife, Collins’ daughter. Last year, Scheer called Benjamin Netanyahu a “satanic warmongering Zionist piece of garbage” for bombing Iran and trying to draw America into the conflict. He called Ossoff a “trust fund socialist” pushing a “far left extreme agenda.”
