Mike Collins won Georgia’s Republican Senate runoff, and Jon Ossoff responded with an attack accusing him of antisemitism. The article examines past controversies involving Collins and his staff, while also noting Collins’s support for Israel and criticism of Ossoff’s votes on weapons sales.
After Collins won the Republican runoff, Ossoff called him a “notorious bigot, antisemite, and extremist” in a social media post. Ossoff’s campaign cited Collins’s past response to an antisemitic account, his defense of the New York Young Republicans, and other associations; the Collins campaign did not respond to a request for comment. The article also describes a Slate report based on leaked messages involving Collins chief of staff Kip Talley, who said he acted in his personal capacity and did not use official resources or act at Collins’s direction.
The article notes Collins’s support for Israel and his promise at a memorial event to help ensure Israel had resources to defend itself. It also says Ossoff has supported Israel but recently voted against some weapons sales, drawing criticism from Georgia Jewish organizations.
