Сотрудник республиканцев в Грузии открыто называет себя «фасцистом-тинком» и размещает свастику в соцсетях

The most abhorrent twink imaginable has entered the chat. On Thursday, the Washington Post published an exposé on a 24-year-old GOP staffer named Preston Parra, who proudly calls himself a “twink fascist.” Parra has worked for a number of Republican pols, including Georgia Rep. Mike Collins, who’s currently running to unseat incumbent Democratic Jon Ossoff in one of the most crucial races this midterm season. While Collins’ campaign didn’t respond to the Post’s questions about Parra, it did release a statement saying that Collins believes antisemitism is “abhorrent,” and alleging that Ossoff, who’s Jewish, hasn’t sufficiently condemned supposed antisemitism on the left.

A so-called “satirist“ When contacted by the Post, Parra claimed the content on his X account is “satirical.” The picture of him outfitted in a white clan robe, he says, was created using Grok’s AI feature. According to the Post, Parra interned for Collins in 2024 before working for his leadership PAC the following year. Collins announced his Senate bid in July 2025. Parra says that Collins didn’t know about his vile social media presence, because his accounts were private at the time. “What, is there supposed to be some kind of CIA background check?” he said. Half Colombian, Parra says he’s not a white supremacist, but believes that white people “contribute more to the world.” Throughout the summer, he’s posted racial slurs referring to Black people and used the phrase “White Power.” Last December, Parra posted a picture of a Collins campaign sign with the caption “let’s get that man elected,” per the Post. Earlier that day, he posted “DEUTCHLAND UBER ALLES,” a song originally written in the 1800s as a plea for a united Germany that the Nazis later co-opted into a rallying cry of racial supremacy. On Parra’s personal website, there’s a quote attributed to Collins praising his work. It says: “[Preston’s] product speaks for itself. You can grade it by the amount of people that are watching it and pushing it back out.” Parra also worked as a social media surrogate for Tr*mp’s 2024 campaign, an experience that he touts on his site. It’s unclear whether he was actually paid, but there are multiple photos of him on X at Tr*mp events wearing MAGA regalia.

His social accounts frequently share racist content, including one video in which white college students made ape sounds at a Black student. After getting called out, Collins released a statement calling the students’ behavior “potentially inappropriate” and said he didn’t think their racist catcalls were the “focal point” of their demonstration. His former chief of staff, Brandon Phillips, was dismissed after a post on Collins’ X account mocked an opposing GOP staffer whose wife attempted suicide after an alleged r*pe. Collins later called the post “despicable,” but quickly ran into trouble with his next CoS, Kip Talley, was fired after it was revealed that he participates in a group chat featuring white supremacists Nick Fuentes and Richard Spencer. Ossoff has brought up Talley on the campaign trail. Additionally, Collins’ son-in-law has shared racist imagery online. In response, Collins said, “He has had no role in my campaign whatsoever, and I don’t believe or support those views and I have always condemned racism and antisemitism regardless of the source.” Recent polling in the Georgia Senate race shows Ossoff holding a seven-point lead over Collins, a margin that will hopefully increase amid these insane revelations. If Ossoff wins, many Dems expect him to be a 2028 presidential front-runner. As for Collins, he’s heading deeper into the gutter. Basking in the attention As a GOP organizer told the Post, “In the South, we have a saying: You lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.” If your entire political project is based on bigotry and xenophobia, then that’s who it will attract. And as for Parra, he seems to be loving the attention. “The Washington Post is doing a hit piece on me tmrw,” he posted on Wednesday. In the wake of the article, he’s continued trolling on X. Elsewhere, he is being lumped in with the hoards of other young, racist GOP staffers. Party veterans have consistently sounded the alarm over the number of young racists in their ranks. Honestly, a “twink fascist” feels like a logical end point for the declining MAGA movement.
