Nazi Running as Republican for US Congress in Illinois

[InTheLight]

CHICAGO — Illinois Republicans botched four opportunities to stop an avowed Nazi from representing their party in a Chicago-area congressional district. Now they’re paying the price.

Arthur Jones, a Holocaust denier who will appear on the November ballot as the GOP candidate against Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski, has become campaign fodder for Democrats as they seek to defeat Gov. Bruce Rauner. And some Republicans even fear the taint from Jones‘ extremist views poses a threat to the party up and down the ticket.

Jones, who told POLITICO he’s running to counter a “two-party, Jew-party, queer-party system,” laughed when he was informed the GOP was unable to put up a candidate against him.

“They didn’t put up a third-party candidate?” Jones asked when reached by phone Thursday. “That’s great! That’s fantastic!

Doesn't really matter. No republican, whatever he claimed to be , was ever going to win the seat.

But it gives dems a talking point, as if they actually needed one to win.

This is one problem with our political party system.
Any person can join a political with NO vetting. He then can run as a candidate
in that party.

Previous post from months ago about this guy:

Arthur Jones Unopposed in Republican Primary

"Arthur Jones will likely become the Republican nominee...he is running unopposed....Jones said he regrets voting for President Donald Trump because he has 'surrounded himself with hoards of Jews.'"

and yet people will actually believe this

Remember Gov Palin- people actually believed that she could see Russia from her house.

I suppose that goes to show the ignorance of libs.

Probably the Dems and the #NeverTrump people will vote for the Nazi in the general if he wins the primary. I am sure that they have already thought of that idea. They can say that Christians and Muslims all worship Allah and Nazism and Islam are the same thing.

What is sad - will be the R's who will vote for him, simply because he is on the R ticket line

Yes you can see Russia from Alaska - Big Diomede (Russian) is about 1.2 miles from Little Diomede (USA). That is why you can see Russia from Alaska.

Diomede is about 500 miles West of of Anchorage - and Saras house is about 50 miles East of Anchorage. - so NO, you cannot see Russia from Palin's house!
