Illinois GOP = NAZI Party

20,000 Republicans just voted for an actual Nazi


Illinois Republicans nominated Arthur Jones for a U.S. House seat.


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. He is a perennial candidate who has previously run for U.S. House, Chicago alderman, and mayor of Chicago, and even mayor of Milwaukee. Chicago media extensively covered the race. The Anti-Defamation League warned voters of his record. The chairman of Illinois Republican Party even disavowed him, saying “The Illinois Republican Party and our country have no place for Nazis like Arthur Jones. We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office, including the 3rd Congressional District.”

Still, a stunning portion of the GOP primary electorate opted to cast their ballot for Jones rather than nobody. This includes, according to unofficial totals as of Wednesday morning, 13,158 voters in suburban Cook County (more than 70 percent of 18,595 GOP primary ballots cast), 4,093 voters in Will County, 3,023 voters in the City of Chicago, and 65 voters in DuPage County.

While the National Republican Congressional Committee, the campaign arm of the House GOP, dismissed Jones last month as “a fringe candidate who has been doing this for over a decade with with no real connection to the GOP,” his campaign platform mirrors President Trump’s agenda. Jones’ campaign website promises to “put America first” with border protections, the elimination of “Sanctuary Cities”, no “amnesty for illegal aliens,” gun rights, and a repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

Jones will face incumbent Democratic Congressman Daniel Lipinski, a social conservative, who narrowly won renomination on Tuesday.

If this is in fact correct it is one of the most F'd up things I have read in a very long time. It goes to show how politics have become so damn partisan that no one is even looking at candidates anymore. Just the letter after their name. This country is heading into third world status quickly when things like this happen.

Democrats voted for former KKK member Thurmond. Liberals said this was okay because he was a former member.

I wonder why Zappacrite won't give this former racist the same treatment.

You forgot about Robert Byrd, he held a LEADERSHIP position in the KKK.

Not to mention a real gem of a guy.

You are correct!

Richard Byrd...an American conservative of considerable influence...did do that.

He was a Democrat back then.

Then, LBJ passed the Equal Rights Act...and almost all of the American conservatives jumped ship to the Republican Party. They figured they be able to spread their hate better using that part y.

see they HATE history



the southern strategy is well documented history

STY, I read Chicago has 50 Alderman who represent the 50 wards in the City. Is that correct? I saw 48 were Democrats, 1 Republican and 1 independent.

I also read Illinois had the sixth fewest registered Republicans of any state, and was the only one not on a coast.

No myth there at all.

The south has always been a stronghold of American conservatives.

It was almost solid Democrat...until LBJ passed and signed the Equal Rights Act.

If you think that is a myth...you must think it a myth that Abraham Lincoln was once president of the United States.

Take a look at the political party make-up of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina...before the Civil Rights Act...

...and take a look at it now.

Wake the hell up, Boy.

It is one thing to do this restructuring when attempting to make excuses for the abomination in the Oval Office...

...but when you revise history...that is a step too far.

I pay very little attention to chicago politics, mainly because I absolutely despise the place. the only good thing about that place is the pizza. when I left Illinois in 95, i think there were 2 republican alderman in chicago who never voted against a democrat agenda.

3/4ths of the states population is in chicago/surrounding areas. The other 25% are rural/small town/farming types that mostly benefit from the subsidies that democrats throw out there for them. Its why republicans out there are democrat lite, wanting to keep the small town votes.
