Patrick Little: "Yay California Nazi Republicans like me!"
By Alex Thompson May 31, 2018
Less than a week before the California primary, Google listed Nazism as the ideology of the California Republican Party.
In the knowledge panel that provides easy access to information next to search results, Google was showing Nazism as an ideology of the party as of Thursday morning. The word Nazism was hyperlinked to a secondary page that shows Nazism alongside other ideologies of California Republicans like Conservatism, "Market liberalism, Fiscal conservatism, and Green conservatism."
California voters have been casting their absentee ballots for weeks ahead of Tuesdays statewide primary elections, which will help determine the majority in the House of Representative and the potential next governor of the worlds fifth-largest economy.
But voters looking for information by searching California Republicans or California Republican Party were getting Nazism next to their search results until Google took the listing down later Thursday after a query from VICE News.

(9,533 posts)3. But the CA GOP actually threw the Nazi pictured above out of their state convention
and denounced him. They also denounced another Nazi running for a Congressional seat in CA.
They are evil on many levels, but in CA even the GOP has some minimal standards and calling for the death of Jews is apparently the bar below which they will not go.
