Holocaust denier, former American Nazi Party member, wins GOP congressional primary in Illinois

Holocaust denier Arthur Jones is now the Republican nominee in Illinois’ third district after running unopposed.

Despite being denounced by the Illinois Republican Party, Arthur Jones emerged victorious in the House race on Tuesday night after failing to win the nomination five times before.

Jones, whose campaign website includes a section that claims the Holocaust is “the biggest, blackest lie in history,” is a long-time neo-Nazi who was a former member of the Nationalist Socialist White People’s Party and the American Nazi Party, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

“Arthur Jones is not a real Republican — he is a Nazi whose disgusting bigoted views have no place in our nation’s discourse,” the state’s GOP chairman Tim Schneider said.

There is no denying the Republican Party is the party of Nazis, despite all the GOP handwringing. It's now just blatantly out in the open, which really is what they don't like.
