White supremacist is top challenger to longtime Jewish senator

A top challenger to longtime US Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California is a white supremacist who espouses antisemitic views.

Patrick Little, a Republican, is polling at 18 percent behind Feinstein, a Democrat who has served more than four terms in the senate. Feinstein is polling at 39 percent in the race, which will pit the top-two vote-getters against each other in the general election in November.

Little has been endorsed by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, but has complained that “alt-right” media outlets such as The Daily Stormer have not been supportive of his campaign.

Right Wing Watch outed Little’s white supremacist views in an article last week.

In a campaign video posted to YouTube earlier this week, Little said he “woke up to the Jewish question and dedicated my life to exposing these Jews that control our country.”

20% 'undecided', 17% Rocky de la Fuente (Reform Party pres candidate in 2016); 18% are sane enough to support one of the Democrats.

He doesn't just say the occasional dubious thing; those quotes in the OP article are full-on anti-semitic hate. But "for the first time, there is clarity on her likely November opponent. It is Republican Patrick Little, who today polls at 18% overall, but whose rural coalition is strong enough that he ties Feinstein in California's Central Valley. " Holy fuck, the centre of California is turning Nazi.

One reason is they think someone like that could never win a seat. To which I simply ask...who's president now?! And, second, because it is a platform of hate against Jews, no one really gives a shit. I am sure there are a few who even like a few of his planks.
