A conservative operative who called himself a “twink fascist” posted a swastika made from the word “twink,” repeatedly used an anti-Black slur and shared an image depicting him in clothing closely resembling Ku Klux Klan regalia.He also worked for Rep. Mike Collins, the Trump-endorsed Republican running in one of the most consequential Senate races in the country.Preston Parra, 24, interned in Collins’ congressional office for two months in 2024 before becoming a contractor for the Georgia Republican’s leadership political action committee, The Washington Post reports. Federal Election Commission records show Overhaul PAC paid Parra $7,700 for fundraising consulting in May 2025. Parra said he worked for the organization for several months. The revelation would be remarkable in any campaign. Around Collins, it has begun to look less like an aberration and more like a recurring feature.Related: These anti-LGBTQ+ Georgia Republicans did drag themselves, unearthed photos showIt also adds a particularly strange wrinkle to Collins’ record on LGBTQ+ issues. The congressman has built part of his political identity by attacking transgender people, supporting legislation that would criminalize certain gender-affirming care for minors and arguing that transgender women should be excluded from women’s sports.In April, The Advocate uncovered photographs of Collins in drag, wearing a floral dress and long wig during a high school homecoming tradition in 1985. His communications director responded by attacking people whose brains, she claimed, had been damaged by hormones and “over-sexualization.”Collins has called gender-affirming care “radical woke ideology.” He mocked Transgender Day of Visibility with a photograph of a car bearing a Confederate flag license plate. He also said Washington Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde should be placed on a “deportation list” after she pleaded with President Donald Trump to show mercy toward LGBTQ+ people and immigrants.
