A former intern and contractor for the Republican Senate candidate in Georgia has been thrust back into the spotlight after a series of disturbing social-media posts.
Preston Parra, who describes himself as a ‘twink fascist,’ interned for Congressman Mike Collins in Congress from August through October 2024.
He later worked as a paid contractor for Collins’s leadership PAC, Overhaul PAC.
Images of a swastika and a photograph appearing to show Parra dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes have resurfaced, calling into question Collins’ judgement.
He posted the material on X in June and July, according to an investigation by The Washington Post.
The posts included racial slurs, references to ‘White Power’ and Nazi-related material.
Parra told the Post that much of the content was intended as satire and denied being a white supremacist.
He also told the newspaper that being one goes against his religion and that his father is Colombian.
Preston Parra, 24, interned for Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., before working on behalf of his campaign. He is a self-proclaimed racist twink who regularly posts sexual and derogatory content despite running a political firm
In June and July Parra shared hateful imagery to his X account that has more than 20,000 followers
Parra posted this while working for Collins’ Overhaul PAC. Federal Election Commission filings show that Parra was last paid by the congressman’s political group on May 23, 2025, three days after he posted this on X
However, he still said, ‘the white race contributes more to the world.’
Parra’s political résumé spans prominent Republican circles. Overhaul PAC paid his consulting firm $7,700 in May 2025.
He claimed to have worked as a Trump campaign surrogate during the 2024 cycle and said he spent eight months as political director for Representative Brian Jack.
He was affiliated with Turning Point USA for at least five years, serving in campus leadership before billing himself as a TPUSA media personality.
In January, the Daily Mail revealed the 24-year-old’s trail of racist, antisemitic and sexually provocative posts, including crotch-shot selfies, references to a ‘harem of twink concubines’ and posts calling himself a ‘racist.’
Asked for comment, Parra responded with a profane insult.
Collins’ campaign moved quickly to distance itself. ‘Preston Parra has no affiliation with Mike Collins’ office or campaign,’ spokesman Meyer Siegfried told the Daily Mail.
‘The posts are vile, completely unhinged, and Mike Collins unequivocally condemns them.’
Parra also touts online how he was an official Trump campaign surrogate, worked with Turning Point USA for years and helped out with Congressman Brian Jack’s campaign
Collins’ campaign quickly distanced itself from former staffer Preston Parra, condemning his posts as ‘vile’ and ‘completely unhinged’ and stating that Parra has no affiliation with the campaign or office
A family photo featured on Representative Mike Collins’ campaign site features his daughter Summer Collins with her husband, David Alan Scheer II. He’s been accused of sharing antisemitic conspiracy theories, white-nationalist material and Nazi-associated imagery on his public social-media accounts
Parra is not the first in Collins’ orbit to draw scrutiny.
Son-in-law David Alan Scheer II, a fitness and masculinity influencer with 1.5 million followers, has been accused of posting antisemitic conspiracy theories, white-nationalist material and Nazi imagery – including liking a comment quoting Erika, a marching song tied to Nazi-era propaganda.
Scheer is registered to vote at a property Collins owns and has appeared in campaign photographs. Collins has said Scheer plays no role in his campaign and that he does not share his views.
Former chief of staff Kip Talley was replaced after reports he joined a group chat with white supremacists Nick Fuentes and Richard Spencer, and discussed helping Holocaust denier Charles Johnson while Johnson was jailed.
Talley said he acted in a personal capacity and that Collins did not direct him.
Former digital director William Paul, son of Senator Rand Paul, hurled antisemitic insults at Rep. Mike Lawler in a bar in May.
Collins’ own posts have drawn fire. He shared video of a white counter-protester making ape-like gestures at a Black pro-Palestinian protester at Ole Miss, later calling it inappropriate but not the video’s ‘focal point.’
He also replied to an account mocking a Washington Post reporter’s Jewish identity, saying he was criticizing her views, not her background.
An InsiderAdvantage poll taken Aug. 16–17 has Ossoff leading Collins 50–43, with 7 percent undecided.
