Neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier Arthur Jones is running for Congress on the Republican ticket this fall, much to the dismay of the GOP.

"I snookered them," Jones told Politico on Thursday. "I played by the rules, what could I say?"

Jones won the party's nomination in March when he ran unopposed for an open seat in Illinois' Third Congressional District. The Republican Party failed to put up a candidate to run against Jones, believing the heavily Democratic district to be unwinnable. Jones will be facing incumbent Representative Dan Lipinksi in the general election this fall.

Jones has run for several different elected positions over the past few decades but has never wonuntil now.

But for Republicans, the victory could not be coming at a worse time, as the party is gearing up for challenging midterm election cycle that could result in the establishment losing control of Congress to a Democratic majority.

GOP leaders have repeatedly denounced Jones and after his primary win, Tim Schneider, the Illinois Republican Party chairman, told The New York Times that the candidate is "a Nazi whose disgusting, bigoted views have no place in our nation's discourse."

But some fear that the party has not done enough to separate itself from Jones and fear that other Republican candidates will suffer election losses as a result. Senator Ted Cruz recently tweeted that Illinois voters should write someone else's name on the ballot or even "vote for the Democrat" rather than support Jones.


they should've just had anyone run against him instead of scrambling after he wins due to their negligence.

Seriously, I feel like every week there's a new one of these fuckers running under the republican banner, even if they win hopefully they get faced by a democrat in the congress run. Also "I snooked them" has to be one of the dumbest things I've heard today.

No one ran against him because he's in a deep blue district Republicans had no chance in anyway.

Seriously. All this bullshit about how this proves Republicans are Nazis is such ignorant nonsense/fake outrage posturing.

Ted Fucking Cruz even would rather you vote for a random nobody or even the democrat instead of this guy come on.

They can fucking fuck off with that bullshit. They both said the same shit about Trump but were first in line to choke on his dick in November 2016.

Republicans were busy voting for the pro-life, anti-ACA Democrat against his progressive challenger in the primary.

Which seems like the better use of their resources than fighting to win a primary in one of the country's bluest districts

The left says they're nazis
Black people say they're nazis
Hispanics say they're nazis
Holocaust survivors say they're nazis
Nazis are saying they're nazis

What's with everyone saying that Republicans are nazis and only Republicans think to argue otherwise? Something has to be going on for everyone to be seeing the same thing amongst Republicans but Republicans.

So is that how he plans to run?

"My own party hates me and I weasled my way on to the ticket right under their noses! Vote for me!"

If someone ran against him then the Repubs couldn't use that excuse when he won.

It's not an excuse though. Even if he was calling for the murder of all immigrants he still would have won because he was the only nominee.

It is an excuse because he would have won regardless.

Edit: Anyone know if they had write in candidate voting?
