In yet another humiliation to Georgia Senate candidate Mike Collins, he is losing his second congressional chief of staff, forcing him to open hiring for a third one.According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "Collins said Thursday he hired Andrew Eisenberger to lead his Congressional office. Eisenberger is a former deputy aide for Collins who most recently worked for American Waterways Operators, the national trade association for the barge, towboat and tugboat industry."Collins, a MAGA-aligned member of Congress, makes the staff shakeup as he prepares for a tough campaign against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, who has "repeatedly labeled Collins a 'notorious bigot, antisemite and extremist,' citing, in part, his ties to former aides Brandon Phillips and Kip Talley," noted AJC.This comes after Collins has been forced to answer to extremist behavior expressed on his behalf by some of these former staffers; Talley, for example, tried to have an infamous Holocaust denier freed from prison, and Phillips was let go after a post attacking an opposing candidate's staffer's wife for being sexually assaulted.Collins has also come under fire for reposting antisemitic attacks on a reporter, and for suggesting immigrants should be thrown out of helicopters.The Georgia Senate election is broadly considered to be a must-win for Democrats to have any path to winning a majority.
