It's official. The Republican party has its first goosestepping candidate for congress in 2018. And we're about to find out if hte "party of Lincoln" still has a corner of soul that hasn't been tarred black yet.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet 70 year old Arthur Jones, who is poised to become the GOP's candidate for US Representative in Illinois 3rd congressional district. We haven't seen a pile of shit this large since the brontosaurus roamed the earth. And his name is going to be on the ballot in November as a Republican candidate.
Arthur Jones got his big chance in the time honored way, party apathy. Jones has been trying to get on the ballot in Illinois for years now, with no success in his primaries. But this time, the GOP couldn't find anybody else to run in the primary, so Jones is going to be on the ballot by default. And in this case, it's de fault of the Republican party.
Look, unless a meteor strikes the earth, Jones is not going to congress. Hillary Clinton won IL-3 with 55% of the vote in 2016, and Democrat Daniel Lipinski has been holding the seat since 2002.But that isn't the iddue here. The issue is that we are about to officially have a brownshirt running for congress in 2018 under the official banner of one of the two largest political parties in the country.
NBC News reports that Jones campaign page is fascinating read, if you're into neo Nazi filth. Among the golden nugget categories to choose from are listed in the article;
His website also offers sections like "Hate Speech?," which outlines his views on the superiority of whites, and "Holocaust?," in which he claims that the genocide carried out by Nazi Germany that resulted in the murder of six million Jews amounts to the "biggest, blackest lie in history." He also calls the white nationalists who violently clashed with counter-protesters last year in Charlottesville "white patriots."
What a Georgia peach this guy is, huh? But apparently, he is going to be on the ballot, since the official GOP party line these days seems to be, "Hey! He's better than a Democrat!" But the GOP is making it clear that they are shocked---shocked that such a deplorable human being could be running under their banner;
Maddie Anderson, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, called Jones a "fringe whcandidate o has no real connection to the GOP" in a statement.
Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider also rejected Jones's views in a statement to NBC News.
"The Illinois Republican Party and our country have no place for Nazis like Arthur Jones," he said. "We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office, including the 3rd Congressional District."
Sorry Maddie and Tim, but I call bullshit. If professional sports team has an athlete on it who publicly espoused beliefs like that, he'd be cut, and a few years ago Hank Williams Jr was fired from his Monday Night Football theme song spot for his racist views, so was Curt Schilling from EPSN's baseball coverage. If the Illinois GOP can't tolerate Jones, all they have to do is to refuse to put his name on the ballot, and if they won't do that, then the national GOP can cut off funding for the state GOP until his name is removed. But apparently, "Hey! He's better than a Democrat!"
The funny thing is that this doesn't just have to stop in IL-03, the Democrats can run against this ass clown all over the country. It's not just Dan Lipinski who can attract attention to Jones racist views, candidates in other races nationwide can use him as a poster child. "Right now, in Illinois, you have an avowed neo Nazi running for congress in the GOP ticket. Is this the kind of party you want representing your district in congress?" God knows his pedophilia would have been an issue nationally if that pedophile shit Roy Moore had won in Alabama, why should it be any different with a "Sieg Heil!" slob like Arthur Jones. We just need the media to highlight this disgusting development to get it into the national attention. After all, what did Maya Angelou always say? Oh, yeah; "When somebody shows you who they are, believe them." And the GOP is showing us exactly who they are.
