Protest Postcards and More: Mike Collins

Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga-10) announced on July 28, 2025, that he will challenging Jon Ossoff for the U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2026.

There is a protest planned against Collins in Monroe, GA at 4:30pm Monday, August 18!

Collins is a mega-MAGA and with tweets and actions to show how deep he's prepared to go into that swamp. He's not a good person and shouldn't be elected to represent us in Georgia.

Here are a few bits he said or did that are particularly enlightening:

On the four-year anniversary of the storming of the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, Rep. Mike Collins tried to re-write the attack on democracy, calling the rioters “peaceful grandmothers” and advocating for pardons for the offenders.
Collins proposed a federal bill that would make the obstruction of highways illegal. According to Collins, “activists and left-wing agitators” use roads as protest grounds, disrupt traffic, block emergency personnel and endanger the lives of themselves and others. He proposed the bill in response to ICE protests in L.A. He doesn't want anyone to be inconvenienced while ICE picks up innocent people to fill their concentration camp quotas.
One of Collins’ most radical bills he currently cosponsors is H.R. 899 –-- a bill to abolish the Department of Education. The bill is only one sentence, “The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2026.” (after the election, of course)
At Trump’s inaugural prayer service, Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde encouraged the president to show compassion to migrants, documented or not and to have mercy upon LGBTQ+ children and individuals. Collins tweeted a call for her to be deportated.
Collins mocked the dismantling of the USAID in a post - “I got laid off at USAID today. I was in charge of making the Taliban trans. Was really starting to make headway too.” His remark comes from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s complaint that USAID paid for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. She falsely claimed that the agency had paid for a “transgender opera” in Colombia as one example.
He suggested that an undocumented migrant should be murdered via “Pinochet Air,” a reference to the Chilean military regime’s use of “death flights” in which political dissidents were thrown to their deaths.
He said he wants to make it “more advantageous” for people to “get off of Medicaid, get off of Social Security.” Collins voted for the GOP budget bill that could leave 750,000 Georgians uninsured.
