Daughter of GOP candidate warns voters about his virulent anti-Semitism: 'I can't imagine him in gov

The daughter of a Republican candidate seeking a seat in the Missouri General Assembly has gone public, telling voters to not vote for her dad on election day because of his hateful views..

According to the Kansas City Star, Emily West is telling voters in Missouri’s House District 15 to stay clear of her father, Steve West, bluntly stating, “I can’t imagine him being in any level of government.”

According to the report, the elder West hosts a radio program where he has made repeated anti-Semitic comments as well as attacking gays and minorities.

In one broadcast rant he accused Jewish doctors of trading on the pain and suffering of children at the famous St. Jude’s Hospital.

“St. Judes hospital, they’re cancer research,” he said. “They’re getting kids sick through vaccines and other means, and they are torturing them with these anti-cancer drugs. The St. Jude’s Hospital — it makes me sick how they are are suffering, and all for a little PR for the Jewish cabal.”

According to his daughter, his views are offensive and way outside the mainstream.

It's not something in the water; it's TrumPutin, Fox, Limbaugh, and the whole Republican party bringing out the worst extremists.

Good for anyone who has the courage to speak out against anti-Semitism, even when it isn't en vogue to do so.
