Missouri GOP Rejects “Hitler Was Right” Candidate

The Hill reports:

The Missouri Republican Party on Tuesday announced that it had rejected the filing fee for conservative radio host Steve West due to his “vile” past statements.

“Today the Missouri Republican Party has rejected the filing fee of Steve West, who sought to run for office as a member of the GOP,” the Missouri GOP said in a statement. “West’s past statements are vile and conflict with the fundamental values of our platform,” the party added.

“The Missouri Republican Party believes there is no room for hate and divisiveness and the Missouri Republican Party will not associate with anyone who promotes these abhorrent ideas.”

West first appeared on JMG in 2018 when as the winner of the GOP primary for a Missouri House seat he declared that “Jewish cabals” were “harvesting baby parts” and that “Hitler was right.” He’d won that primary by 25 points.

We heard about West again October of that year when his own daughter pleaded with general election voters not to elect her racist, anti-gay, anti-Semitic father. Missouri voters complied, that time at least.
