Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins ended a press conference Thursday after repeatedly declining to answer questions about his relationship with a son-in-law who promoted White nationalist ideology and circulated antisemitic content online, as first revealed by CNN's KFile.
Collins, a two-term congressman from Georgia, was appearing at Monroe County Hospital to outline his health care priorities.
But reporters pressed him to address online statements from his son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II, and whether Scheer had done business or campaign work for him. Collins said the matter had been "fully addressed" and pivoted to attacking Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.
"You know, we've fully addressed that," Collins said. "But Jon Ossoff refuses to disavow these democrat socialist movements in our country."

All of a sudden, there's a brand new candidate in the conversation to be Wisconsin's next athletic director.
According to Wildcat Authority's Jason Scheer, Arizona AD Desiree Reed-Francois is "actively involved" with the Badgers' opening.
Scheer went as far as to say that Reed-Francois is "in the final group of candidates."
This news is a bit shocking, as Wisconsin hasn't publicly revealed who is in the running, though Reed-Francois' name never seemed to be in consideration. Now, all of a sudden, she's potentially a finalist for Chris McIntosh's former job.
Marcus Sedberry remains the interim athletic director, but for how long? Wisconsin has been very open that they want to fill McIntosh's spot by the summer, and having a new AD around before a massive 2026 football season would be ideal.
