Summary
Preston Parra, a 24-year-old who previously interned for Rep. Mike Collins, posted images online that included an A.I.-generated selfie of himself in Ku Klux Klan regalia and a swastika composed of the word “twink.” Parra told The Washington Post he used X’s A.I. chatbot Grok to create the KKK image and has described himself online as a “twink fascist.”
Rep. Collins’ office said Parra has no current affiliation with the congressman’s office or campaign and condemned the posts as “vile.” Parra denied being a white supremacist in his conversation with the Post but made a separate remark that “the white race contributes more to the world.”
