‘LET’S RIDE’: MAGA Rep Starts Engines On Senate Bid With 1 Embarrassing Error

Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) began his bid for U.S. Senate with an embarrassing oversight this week after the name of his home state of Georgia was misspelled in video shared by his campaign.

In a clip shared by the “Mike Collins War Room” (@TeamOverhaulGA) account on X, the congressman is heard taking aim at “out of touch Democrats” in the Senate before declaring that “we’ve got to be unafraid to call balls and strikes.”

The text “GEORIGA, LET’S RIDE” then pops up on screen before a logo resembling a truck — an apparent nod to the trucking company Collins’ family owns — appears and zooms off screen.

The clip was posted late Sunday afternoon, a day before Collins officially launched his campaign via a separate video — one that accurately spells his state’s name — that he shared to his personal account.

Collins, in response to a post pointing out the error, claimed that the clip was “not a campaign launch video” and his campaign didn’t create it.

“Fan art. And I thought otherwise they did a pretty good job,” he added.

The clip appears to take footage and audio from videos shared to the congressman’s official account just days before.

The congressman has shared other posts from the “War Room” page, which describes itself as the “official team account” for his campaign.
