A few days ago we learned that an actual genuine Nazi supporter had become the presumptive Republican nominee for Illinois's 3rd District. The man has approximately zero chance of becoming a new Republican congressman; the seat is reliably blue and Mr. Arthur Jones, perennial candidate, landed the Republican candidacy after the local party was unable to secure even one not-Nazi candidate to run against him.
But it means that Republicans are now being represented on nationwide television by, cough, yet another Holocaust-denying racist lunatic. Let's check in on how that's going for them.
“Well, I do not belong to any formal national socialist organization anymore and I haven’t belonged to one since about 1990. Okay?” Jones, who has been denounced by both the state and national Republican party, said on CNN’s “New Day” during an interview with Alisyn Camerota. [...]
“You’ve been part of anti-Semitic groups since the 1970s, you go to neo-Nazi rallies, we have pictures of you there,” she said. “You were part of the White People’s Party, you dress in Nazi garb and you celebrate Hitler’s birthday. You’re a Nazi.”
Tip: When appearing on national television to deny you are a Nazi, first make sure there are no easily obtained photographs of you being a goddamned Nazi. Alas, Jones's defense only got more lackluster from there.
“You Jews media, you’ve gone absolutely nuts. You think that Adolf Hitler’s revived from the grave or something,” he said. “It’s one man, myself, that is standing for the truth and the news media can’t stand that. The Democrats and Republicans, it is a cursed two-party, Jew-party, queer-party system and I can’t stand it.”
And so we close out this additional look at the latest presumptive Republican nominee for Congress, Mr. Arthur Jones, who appears to have finally gotten his shot at a House seat only months after a serial child predator was turned away in Alabama, only a bit past Republicans welcoming a man into the House who had physically attacked a reporter who asked him a question he didn't like, and only after a transparently racist, garish, gaudy liar who gleefully bragged about his preferred method of sexual assault was made the nation's newest Republican president.
If you would like to assist this site's endorsed alternative in the race, Democrat Marie Newman, you can toss $3 toward her efforts to primary conservative Democrat Rep. Dan Lipinski into retirement, then wipe the floor with the lunatic Mr. Jones here.
