राजनीति · Ossoff demands Collins's resignationपूर्व कर्मचारी की स्वस्तिक और क्लान पोस्ट पर ओसॉफ ने कॉलिन्स को अयोग्य ठहरायालिखित 7 सितंबर 2026 को 9:22 pm UTC बजेदेखेंप्रतिलेख0:00A former congressional intern posted a swastika and posed in Klan Robes online.0:04He was paid $7,700 by a Senate candidate's leadership PAC.0:09And the opponent says the images prove a pattern tied to white nationalism.0:12Within hours, demands came for resignation, a same-day press conference, and every0:17office communication released.0:19Will condemnation without disclosure close the question, or will records have to be0:23produced first?0:23Senator John Osoff, who is Jewish and has held the seat since 2021, said the0:28morning's report was not an isolated post, but further evidence of alleged ties.0:32Representative Mike Collins, who has represented Georgia's 10th district since 20230:37and is the Trump-endorsed nominee after winning the May 19 primary and June 160:41runoff, faced three demands tied to that same day.0:44The newest report landed August 27 after weeks of earlier reporting had already0:48placed Collins in proximity to white nationalist figures.0:51The account at issue went private August 24th before the post surfaced publicly.0:56By early afternoon, the demand was for a press conference that same day.0:59The language was explicit, disgraceful and disqualifying, and the threshold was1:04explicit as well.1:06A press conference that afternoon, resignation from office and from the Senate1:10campaign, and a wholesale release of communications between the office and white1:14supremacists.1:15The argument was that the swastika and Klan robe are not abstract offenses but1:20emblems of organized terror with a specific history for black Georgians and Jewish1:24Georgians.1:25The report identified Preston Parra, 24.1:28He interned in the Congressional Office for two months in 2024 and later worked as a1:32contractor for the leadership PAC, Overhaul PAC, which paid him $7,700 for1:37fundraising consulting in May 2025.1:40In June and July 2026, on a then public ex account, he shared a swastika constructed1:45from the repeated word twink, an image of himself in what appeared to be Klan robes1:49that he said was generated with Grok AI, the phrase white power, multiple uses of1:54anti-black slurs and an earlier post reading Deutschland Uber Al's hours before1:58promoting Collins.1:59His consulting site quoted Collins praising his digital product.2:03Parra called himself a twink fascist, described much of the content as satirical and2:07provocative, denied being a white supremacist, citing his religion and Colombian2:12father, but said, I do think that the white race contributes more to the world, and2:15said Collins was unaware of the private account.2:18The account was made private August 24th.2:20The campaign response came from spokesperson Meyer Siegfried.2:23Preston Parra has no affiliation with the office or campaign.2:27The posts are vile, completely unhinged, and Mike Collins unequivocally condemns2:31them.2:32A broader statement called anti-Semitism abhorrent and accused Osoff of2:36insufficiently condemning anti-Semitism on the left.2:39Detailed questions about Parra and whether Collins stood by prior praise went2:43unanswered.2:44No personal statement from Collins and no press conference on August 27th appeared2:48in same-day coverage.2:50Talley was replaced as chief of staff in July 2026 by Andrew Eisenberger, the third2:55chief in under a year.2:56Another staffer, Phillips, had been let go in May over a vulgar post.3:00The verification of whether the Klan image was AI generated as claimed does not3:04change the meaning of posting it for those citing it.3:07The property question concentrates in Jackson, where the son-in-law is registered to3:10vote at a Collins-owned house adjacent to the congressman's home, appears in family3:14and campaign photos, and attended the primary victory party and produced videos for3:18the trucking company.3:19He has promoted Patriot Front, said there is nothing wrong with white nationalism,3:23and posted anti-Semitic claims about institutional control.3:26The response has been that he has no role in the campaign, the views are not shared,3:30and racism and anti-Semitism are condemned, while questions about payments and work3:34performed from the property remain unanswered.3:36The stakes run beyond one office.3:39The general election is November 3, with a possible runoff December 1st for control3:43of a Senate now held 53 to 47 by Republicans.3:47Averaging late August surveys, Osoff leads about 50.7% to 43.2%,3:52a 7.5-point margin.3:54Internal Republican commentary already warned Collins has got a lot of fleas on him.3:59The question for voters is whether paid staff, family presence on owned property,4:03and senior staff outreach to organized white supremacists count as a personal tie,4:07and whether condemnation without disclosure settles it.4:10No press conference materialized August 27th, no resignation was tendered, and no4:15release beyond the slate-reviewed chat has occurred.लेख पढ़ेंखबर की
