He self-identifies as a "Nazi" and is running for a House-seat. Guess his party-affiliation.

Arthur Jones — an outspoken Holocaust denier, activist anti-Semite and white supremacist — is poised to become the Republican nominee for an Illinois congressional seat representing parts of Chicago and nearby suburbs.

“Well first of all, I’m running for Congress not the chancellor of Germany. All right. To me the Holocaust is what I said it is: It’s an international extortion racket,” Jones told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Indeed, Jones’ website for his latest congressional run includes a section titled “The ‘Holocaust Racket’” where he calls the genocide carried out by the German Nazi regime and collaborators in other nations “the biggest blackest lie in history.”

...

Jones told the Sun-Times he is a former leader of the American Nazi Party and now heads a group called the America First Committee. “Membership in this organization is open to any white American citizen of European, non-Jewish descent,” he said.

...

“He has spoken publicly at numerous neo-Nazi rallies and events, expressing xenophobic policies based in racial and religious hatred. He is, by every definition, an anti-Semite and unrepentant bigot.”

...

Jones will almost certainly be defeated in November. That’s because the 3rd Congressional District is one of the most heavily Democratic in the state.

...

Republicans didn’t bother to muster a credible candidate because the district is so Democratic. There is always a debate if parties should recruit candidates to run races they are highly likely to lose.

1. Fucking Illinois Nazis.

2. If you're guaranteed to get trounced, you can afford to run as who you really are.

Thanks for showing us who you really are, Republicans.

In case I wasn't clear: Republicans = Nazis.

3. As I Said In Another Post in Another Thread

He's going to get slaughtered in that district. The R's didn't even run anybody against Lapinksi in '16 and in '14 he won by around 2:1.

4. Good! The more who reveal themselves, the better.

Hope this one gets lots of "the Republican candidate" coverage. And that he upsets a lot of local Republicans who like to imagine their hypocritical claims of virtue define them, not their votes.
