Georgia Senate debate erupts over white supremacy allegations, Epstein ties in fiery exchange

A televised clash between Georgia's two U.S. Senate contenders turned personal Tuesday night, with each side accusing the other of ugly associations. Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff pressed Republican Rep. Mike Collins over material circulated by Collins' son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II, while Collins answered by attacking Ossoff's funding sources. The two met for their second and last debate before the Nov. 3 general election, staged by the Atlanta Press Club and aired on Georgia Public Broadcasting, according to Fox News.

Ossoff tried to link Collins to White nationalism, citing a CNN investigation into Scheer. That inquiry found the son-in-law sharing Nazi imagery, promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories and asking his online audience whether he should make a video called "Why Gen-Z Doesn't Hate Hitler." Ossoff repeatedly urged Collins to promise, with a handshake, that no more neo-Nazi propaganda would come out of his household during the three weeks left in the race.

Collins countered that Ossoff was helping stir up danger for his relatives, pointing to threats directed at him and Scheer. He also faulted Ossoff for keeping support tied to LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, whom the debate coverage connects to Jeffrey Epstein, and for backing candidates associated with streamer Hasan Piker.
