GOP HOUSE NOMINEE ARTHUR JONES SPEAKING AT THE ARYAN NATIONS 2014 WORLD CONGRESS. CREDIT: JONES' CAMPAIGN WEBSITE

The former head of the American Nazi Party ran for the Republican nomination of Congress in Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District. No Republican stepped up to oppose him.

On Tuesday, despite his vocal Holocaust denial, his anti-Semitic rhetoric, and his white supremacist views, 20,339 Illinois Republicans, according to preliminary totals, cast their ballots for Arthur Jones.

Jones’ Nazi-sympathies were not a secret going into election day. His campaign website features a slideshow of pictures of him speaking at white nationalist events.

And now republican filthy damn traitors are VOTING them in in the USA!

Need I remind anyone that Hitler and the nazi party were democratically elected into power in Germany?

The republican party is an imminent danger to freedom and democracy its sooo easy to see now!

No amount of fuckin spin from fox 'news' or hate radio is going to wash away the stain of republicans voting in a self avowed, in your face, NAZI!

The republican party must be DESTROYED!!!!

This is really sadly not surprising at all. Just hope he has a Demm challenger so non-crazies have someone better to represent them.

All bankrolled by republican moneyman Mercer and his evil spawn.

The republicans are forcing fascism onto America and anyone that resists is called "deep state"..fucking assholes!

They already got their fuhrer installed and now the rest will follow.

The incumbent. He should win easy, although Lipinski is just barely a Democrat himself.

He could have voted for himself and won.

I personally would chock this up to voting for their party instead of sitting out. The guy was gonna win either way, but he won't win the actual election.

I vote democratic only.

If in some alternate universe the only democrat on the ticket was an out nazi, I would cut my fucking hand off before I cast a vote for human filth like that!

Nazi shoveled millions of Jewish babies and toddlers into ovens gleefully in case anyone has forgotten that FACT.

And this pig republican nazi that just got 20,000 votes would gladly do the same!
