https://www.vox.com/2018/7/9/17525860/nazis-russell-walker-arthur-jones-republicans-illinois-north-carolina-virginia

In at least five state and national races across the country, the Republican Party is dealing with an uncomfortable problem. Their partys candidates are either a card-carrying Nazi, a Holocaust denier, a proud white supremacist, or all of the above.

In North Carolina, for example, GOP officials are stuck with Russell Walker, a white supremacist running for the state House of Representatives. According to his personal website (littered with the n-word), he believes that the jews are NOT semitic they are satanic as they all descend from Satan.

Republicans in the state have regrets. This is a very Democratic district, one that we failed to keep our eye on, Dallas Woodhouse, executive chair of the North Carolina GOP, told me in an email. However, we cant stop him from running.

In Illinois, meanwhile, the Republican Party shrugged off Arthur Jones, a candidate for the states 3rd Congressional district who boasted of his membership in the American Nazi Party. But Jones won the GOP primary, and now party officials, including ones who called Jones morally reprehensible and a complete nutcase, are scrambling to launch a write-in campaign. Joness campaign website features a section called Holocaust? in which he argues that the idea that six million Jews, were killed by the National Socialist government of Germany, in World War II, is the biggest, blackest lie in history.

In Virginia, the chair of the state GOP resigned earlier this month, reportedly because of alt-right leaning, pro-Confederate candidate Corey Stewarts win in the Republican primary. But even Stewart had to disavow Wisconsins Paul Nehlen, who is running to replace Speaker Paul Ryan. Nehlens too racist for Twitter and even for Gab, the preferred social media platform of the alt-right. Meanwhile, a California Republican running for Congress has been making appearances on neo-Nazi podcasts and argues on his campaign website that diversity is a Jewish plot. (The California GOP has disavowed him.)

Racial animus helped fuel the rise of Donald Trump. Since the end of the civil rights movement and under Republican strategist Lee Atwaters Southern strategy that used racism as an unstated cudgel against Democrats, the Republican Party itself has played a welcoming host to racial tensions and fears. Simultaneously, it has depicted itself, as conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby put it in 2012, as the party of color-blind equality and a party that doesnt think with its skin.

But in a year when the left is energized in opposition to Trump, particularly by his policies toward minority groups and immigrants, and as the GOP tries to hang on to their majorities in Congress and state houses around the country, state party officials say they do not need racist fringe candidates running for office. None of these candidates is expected to win in the general election this fall, but they are going to give liberals on the hunt for examples of simmering neo-Nazi and neo-Confederate rhetoric at least five places to point.


midterms are going to be interesting.

They are only scared that they'll lose.

It's like the career criminal who if you ask him if he has any regrets he says "I regret doing X because that's how I got caught"

well, liberals didn't respond to the emergence of nazis as we were taught to do by the greatest generation: with a vicious hail of gunfire.

Seriously. If they were really scared they would do something.

If they really didnt like them why would they allow them to run Republican?

So it's okay to punch them now? I'm so confused.

Right? Cult 45 keeps acting like this is normal and unrelated.


It's not unrelated. Almost certainly what's happened is that the left is still so butthurt over losing that they've begun planting nazis and white supremacists in the Republican party in an attempt to sabotage them.

I think it's more damning of the political system in general. Way too many people don't actually care or look at anything candidates are about, the only thing they care about is republican or democrat. If their "team" wins they don't give a ****. Although them winning their primaries is hilariously pathetic. I don't know how they would beat other GOP candidates if they're spewing that garbage.

step or two before that, but the intent is obvious.

ironically, it's mixed in with a genuinely good effort: combating green card fraud. that is the most common form of ACTUAL illegal immigration.

There are a lot more immigrants in the US than there were in Germany and there are ICE agents.

Have you seen the story that darkman posted? It's an outrage.

But nobody cares. Nobody is raising a stink. Everybody cared about the illegal kids in the baby concentration camps, or the thai kids in that cave, or Roe Vs Wade, or even about actual illegals getting deported.

But for some reason i don't see anybody giving a shit about these citizens who will soon have their lives upended by this. The numbers don't matter, virtually all hispanic/south asian/middle eastern naturalized citizens will be slowly deported one by one.

The media is distracted right now. Once this starts being reported as incidents become more common and publicized, however, expect all hell to break loose.
