Newsweek reports:
Arthur Jones, a Holocaust denier and “long-time neo-Nazi” whose website promotes anti-Semitic material, is the Republican Party’s official candidate in a congressional district spanning areas of Chicago after he ran unopposed in a primary.
The 70-year-old Vietnam War veteran, who is standing in Illinois’ 3rd Congressional district for a seat in the House of Representatives, is a notorious white supremacist. His own party, the Illinois Republicans, denounced him and he will not receive the GOP’s endorsement as a candidate.
17,304 people voted for an avowed neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier.
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE IN ILLINOIS decided that a Nazi was better than a Democrat. ???
