You can't make this stuff up. Tony Zirkle, seeking the GOP nod for Congress in Indiana's 2nd Congressional district, accepted an invitation to speak at an event celebrating Hitler's birthday.
Tony Zirkle, who is seeking the Republican nomination in Indiana's 2nd District, stood in front of a painting of Hitler, next to people wearing swastika armbands and with a swastika flag in the background for the speech to the American National Socialist Workers Party in Chicago on Sunday.
"I'll speak before any group that invites me," Zirkle said Monday. "I've spoken on an African-American radio station in Atlanta."
And that's way worse! Those people are crazy!

Zirkle said he did not know much about the neo-Nazi group and that his intention was to talk on his concern about "the targeting of young white women and for pornography and prostitution."
I feel like anything I might add would just ruin this, so I'll shut up and let you enjoy the irony, or schadenfreude, or comedy, or tragedy, or... whatever it is.
