They’ve made it to the general elections. They’ve also made it onto some of the most racist airwaves.

Republican candidates on both coasts have made appearances on white supremacist podcasts in recent weeks.

On Thursday, Russell Walker, the Republican primary winner in a North Carolina statehouse race, appeared on the white supremacist Stormfront Action podcast, where he boasted of advising Arthur Jones, a neo-Nazi candidate who won the primary election for a congressional seat in Illinois. In late June, congressional candidate John Fitzgerald appeared on two neo-Nazi podcasts, Media Matters first reported. Fitzgerald, a Holocaust denier running on an anti-Semitic platform, advanced through the Republican primaries in California’s 11th Congressional District, and is on the ballot in the general election.

A spokesperson for the Republican National Committee said the party condemns all three candidates.

“While they have no chance of winning, we nonetheless condemn these candidates and their hateful, racist views in the strongest possible terms,” the spokesperson told The Daily Beast. “There’s no place for them in the Republican Party.”

Russell Walker is running against an African American minister for a state-level seat in North Carolina. Walker has also lost the backing of local and national Republican groups after he was discovered to run a racist website.
