MAGA Republican abruptly ends presser rather than disavow son-in-law's Nazi posts

A Senate candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump fled a rural Georgia press conference Thursday rather than answer questions about his son-in-law, white nationalist influencer David Alan Scheer II.Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) abruptly ended the event after reporters peppered him with questions about a CNN report that found Scheer had built a large online following promoting white nationalist ideology, sharing Nazi imagery, and posting antisemitic conspiracy theories.Collins is the Republican Senate candidate challenging Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in November. "We fully addressed that, but Jon Ossoff refuses to disavow these Democrat socialist movements in our country," Collins said, according to Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, when reporters asked him to condemn his son-in-law's statements."Could you address the question regarding anti-Semitism?" a reporter asked.Collins deflected with a list of complaints about Ossoff's votes on spending, cash bail and immigration."These aren't Georgia values, y'all. That's what he needs to answer to," the candidate said.Then he packed up his notes, and a reporter followed him out."You don't want to talk about your son-in-law at all? Do you embrace him in the family? Share his views?" the reporter called out.Collins did not respond.CNN's reporting found that Scheer — who is married to Collins' daughter and lives on a Collins-owned property — promoted Patriot Front, the white supremacist group that marched through Washington, D.C., over the July 4th weekend. "There's nothing wrong with White Nationalism," Scheer wrote in YouTube comments, according to the CNN report.Scheer also warned in a podcast that white people faced extinction and called for "clearing our land of other people."Collins quietly removed Scheer's photo from his campaign website after the CNN story broke.Trump's pick for the Georgia Senate seat has not condemned his son-in-law's statements."Nobody speaks for me, and I don't speak for anybody else," Collins said when asked about the controversy last week.In a statement, Ossoff called Collins "a known bigot and antisemite" and said his ties to Scheer disqualified him from office."Mike Collins has always stood with the Jewish people and Israel, and condemns all forms of antisemitism, no matter the source," deputy communications director Sam Densmore said, not addressing Scheer directly.

Why Trump is no longer targeting Iranian regime change

President Donald Trump began the war with Iran to end the Islamic Republic, which rules that country. Rightly, however, Trump is no longer pursuing that grand objective. Instead, the president is using force to pressure Iran to return to the negotiating table in good faith. This reduced ambition is sensible. But it does not mean […]

Trump says he's open to delaying Blanche nomination over GOP defectors

President Trump said Thursday that he would have "no objection" to temporarily withdrawing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination until his Republican opponents are out of office next January.The big picture: Trump's threat, directed at GOP Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.) and John Cornyn (Texas), puts Blanche's critics on notice to what the president deemed "the right thing" after their concerns stalled his nomination.Driving the news: "Todd Blanche is a STAR," Trump wrote of his former personal attorney turned Justice Department loyalist.He added that Blanche would "remain, in any event, as Acting."Cornyn had demanded a written guarantee that the administration's controversial "anti-weaponization fund" was dead.What they're saying: "POTUS is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me and Senator Tillis," Cornyn, who has broken from the president since losing his re-election primary bid to a Trump-backed challenger, quickly responded in a post on X.Reality check: Even if the president withdrew his name, Blanche could retain the vast power of the nation's chief law enforcement officer in an acting capacity, as he has since this spring.This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
