Collins applauds racist attack, sparks outrage
Georgia Republican Congressman Mike Collins faces backlash after endorsing a video of white students racially abusing a Black woman during a Free Palestine protest.
The video shows students of the University of Mississippi mimicking apes and hurling racist insults at the woman, with Collins captioning it “Ole Miss taking care of business.”
Collins has dismissed accusations of racism, sparking a heated exchange with Black leaders.
The incident occurred as counter-protesters disrupted a rally supporting Palestine, chanting racist remarks and singing the national anthem.
Collins has a history of controversial and racist statements, including suggesting violence against migrants and amplifying a neo-Nazi post.
Ole Miss condemned the offensive remarks, amid ongoing campus protests against Israel’s war on Gaza.
