David Alan Scheer II has said Jews orchestrated 9/11 and killed JFK, praised the idea of “clearing our land of other people,” and openly questioned why “Gen-Z doesn’t hate Hitler.” Georgia Senate candidate Mike Collins didn’t just tolerate his son-in-law’s views from a distance. He let him build a house right next to his own, on Collins’s own property, where Scheer has continued filming and posting this material.
David Alan Scheer II, the son-in-law of Georgia Republican Senate candidate Rep. Mike Collins, confirmed directly that Collins allowed him and his wife to build a house on Collins’s own land, where Scheer now appears to live and continues producing and sharing antisemitic content online.
What Scheer Has Actually Said
Scheer’s public record, first exposed in detail by CNN’s KFile in July, isn’t ambiguous political commentary. It’s explicit white nationalist rhetoric delivered on his own platforms. 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.”
That same month, Scheer posted a video attacking “Jewish Bolsheviks” and invoking pro-Nazi historical revisionism directly. “Sixty million Christians that were killed by Jewish Bolsheviks in the early 1900s right before World War II,” he 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 also polled his Telegram followers on whether he should make a video about “why Gen-Z doesn’t hate Hitler,” a post he later deleted. According to Raw Story, he’s separately claimed deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli intelligence agent, and blamed Jewish people for pornography, the assassination of JFK, the September 11 attacks, and the killing of Charlie Kirk. CNN’s reporting also documented Scheer promoting the white supremacist hate group Patriot Front, declaring there is “nothing wrong with White Nationalism,” and asserting that Jews have “captured American politics.”
This Wasn’t a Distant In-Law. Scheer Was Embedded in Collins’s Political and Business Life.
The relationship here goes well beyond a family member Collins simply couldn’t control. Scheer, who is married to Collins’s daughter Summer, was featured in family photographs on Collins’s own campaign website and social media. He attended Collins’s Senate primary election-night victory party. He appears to have helped produce promotional work for Collins’s trucking company. And, according to voter records cited by the DSCC, he was registered to vote at a Collins-owned property adjacent to Collins’s own home, the same arrangement Scheer has now confirmed directly to Haaretz: that Collins let him and his wife build a house on that land.
That’s not an estranged relative posting extremist content from somewhere far away. That’s a man producing Nazi-sympathetic and antisemitic material from a house built on his father-in-law’s own property, while simultaneously appearing in that same father-in-law’s campaign materials.
Collins’s Response Has Been Silence and Scrubbing
When CNN’s reporting first broke, Collins’s campaign didn’t address Scheer’s statements or beliefs at all. Instead, it offered a statement about an entirely different subject: “Rep. Collins’ lifelong support for Israel is unquestionable and backed by his consistent record in Congress of standing up for Israel and her people.” That’s a response to a question that wasn’t asked. Nobody was questioning Collins’s own voting record on Israel. The question was why his son-in-law was producing openly antisemitic and pro-Nazi content while embedded in his family and political operation.
Following the CNN report, Collins’s campaign quietly scrubbed Scheer from his website. Sen. Jon Ossoff, Collins’s Democratic opponent, called out the deflection directly: “After scrubbing his website, Mike Collins still refuses to answer whether he has been paying this neo-Nazi propagandist personally or through his business, campaign, or office.” Now, with Scheer’s own confirmation that he lives on land Collins provided, that question has only gotten harder to dodge.
Collins Has His Own History Here, Too
This isn’t a case of guilt by association alone. Collins has faced his own repeated scrutiny for racist and antisemitic content. Two years ago, he approvingly shared a video of Ole Miss students taunting a Black protester with monkey noises. He’s built a national reputation as, in CNN’s words, “a combative, Trump-aligned online provocateur,” a style that has repeatedly drawn accusations of antisemitism, which Collins has denied.
The Scheer relationship also isn’t the only staffing controversy dogging Collins’s campaign. In May, he fired a longtime aide who used Collins’s own campaign account to mock a rival strategist’s wife over her sexual assault allegations. A separate former staffer, William Paul, son of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, confronted Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) at a bar with a stream of antisemitic insults. And a different former staffer was separately reported to have posted Nazi and KKK imagery online.
The Bottom Line
Mike Collins didn’t just have a relative with troubling views. He gave that relative land to build a house on, kept him embedded in his campaign’s public image and his company’s promotional work, and has now watched him confirm the arrangement publicly while continuing to produce content blaming Jewish people for 9/11, JFK’s assassination, and the Holocaust itself. Collins’s campaign has answered questions about his record on Israel. It still hasn’t answered the actual question: why his own family compound became a platform for exactly this kind of material.
