In an October 13 debate, Mike Collins told Georgia voters that hate of any kind is "abhorrent," and that "I've fired people when things happen."
Three weeks later, on the eve of the Senate election, the Washington Post reported that a man who worked in Collins' congressional office appears closely tied to an anonymous X account that posted slurs against women, gay people and immigrants, called for political violence, and argued that American democracy should be replaced with a dictatorship.
Some of those posts went up while he was on Collins' staff.
What the Post found
The Post's analysis connects the account, called "0UrsaMajor0," to a 25-year-old congressional aide who worked as a staff assistant in Collins' office from May 2023 to March 2024. He now works for another Republican member of Congress. The account posted details that match his life exactly, the Post found: his birthday, his age, where he lived, his college education, his debate competitions, his father's Coast Guard career, and a bill his current boss cosponsored.
He denied the account was his in a short phone call. Within an hour of that call, the Post reported, several posts with slurs or extreme language were deleted. At that point he was the only person the Post had contacted about it.
Among the posts the Post documented:
- A February 2024 post, written while he worked for Collins, calling Islam a "desert slave religion."
- Posts arguing American democracy should end and be replaced by a monarchy or dictatorship, one of them calling democracy "so gay lmfao."
- A post saying "the future we hope for is dependent on Congress becoming a museum."
- A post calling for "Nuremberg tribunals," the trials of Nazi war criminals, "for every elected official and bureaucrat who pushed even the notion of 'trans kids.'"
- An antigay slur aimed at a researcher who studies the far right, with the line "I would pay to watch this f—-t be fed his teeth."
- A Martin Luther King Jr. Day post saying the "only thing that matters" is pushing back against the multiracial democracy built after the civil rights movement.
- Misogynistic attacks on women in politics, including calling Sen. Lisa Murkowski an "old hag."
The Post also found an older, inactive account it believes belongs to the same man. In 2017, it posted: "I'd rather be a white supremacist than a degenerate impoverished minority."
And the account praised Collins himself. When Collins used an anti-trans slur in December 2023, while this man was working for him, the account wrote that Collins was "single-handedly fighting the woke mob by normalizing the word tranny again."
The account is followed by other Republicans on Capitol Hill, the Post reported, including a spokesman for Collins' campaign.
Collins said nothing
Collins' office and campaign did not respond to multiple messages from the Post. Those messages asked about the account's content, whether the office knew about it, and why the aide left after only 10 months.
The office of his current boss said it was unaware of the account and would handle the matter internally. A spokesman for a congresswoman he once interned for called the posts "repulsive and disgusting."
Collins, the man who says he fires people, offered nothing.
This keeps happening around Mike Collins
If this were one bad hire, it would be one bad hire. It isn't. The Post laid out the pattern in the same story:
- His chief of staff. In May, Slate reported that Collins' then-chief of staff took part in a group chat with white nationalists. Collins says he cut ties.
- A campaign operative. The same month, a Collins campaign operative reportedly joked about the alleged rape of the wife of an adviser to a PAC backing his primary opponent. Collins says he cut ties with him too.
- Another former staffer. In August, the Post reported that a different former Collins staffer posted Nazi and KKK imagery. We reported that Collins' PAC paid that man $7,700 for his work.
- His son-in-law. CNN reported that Collins' son-in-law shared Nazi imagery online. We covered what he posted. Collins says his son-in-law has no role in the campaign.
His opponent, Sen. Jon Ossoff, has accused him in debates of hiring "half the Third Reich." Collins' answer has been that he condemns white nationalism and antisemitism, and that "I've fired people when things happen."
The question voters can ask is why the people who keep turning up with these views keep turning up working for him. This latest one praised Collins by name, for using a slur, while on his payroll.
In summary
The Washington Post tied an anonymous X account to a man who worked in Mike Collins' congressional office from 2023 to 2024; the account called for ending democracy, attacked civil rights, posted slurs, called Islam a "slave religion" while he was on Collins' staff, and praised Collins for using an anti-trans slur. The aide denies the account is his. Collins' office and campaign did not respond. He follows Collins' former chief of staff, another former staffer and his son-in-law, all of whom have been tied to white nationalist or Nazi content.
