‘Hitler Was Right’ Republican Wins Missouri

Quote

A Missouri Republican who has made anti-Semitic and other bigoted statements handily won a primary for the state’s House of Representatives.

Steve West, who promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on a radio show he hosts, defeated three other candidates Tuesday in the bid for a seat representing Clay County. He won with 49.5 percent of the vote.

“Looking back in history, unfortunately, Hitler was right about what was taking place in Germany. And who was behind it,” West said on KCXL radio in January 2017, The Kansas City Star reported Thursday.

He has spoken of “Jewish cabals” that are “harvesting baby parts” from Planned Parenthood, abuse children and control the Republican Party. West also has a YouTube channel on which he has made homophobic, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic and racist statements, according to The Star.

West will face Democratic incumbent Jon Carpenter in November.

On Thursday, the Missouri Republican Party denounced West’s “shocking and vile” comments.

“West’s abhorrent rhetoric has absolutely no place in the Missouri Republican Party or anywhere. We wholeheartedly condemn his comments,” the party told The Star.

I'd say laying a wreath at an event to honor Black September "martyrs" who killed a dozen innocent athletes from Israel in 1972 qualifies the guy as an antiSemite, regardless his other pronouncements.

Yeah, I'd throw in the towel now mate before you get torn to shreds.

This is the issue with people ignoring voting the yhe primaries and just waiting to see what candidate their party picks. 

This guy probably has his radio audience vote while everyone else didn't

Backlash towards the left/Liberal elite class and their anti-free speech narrative...keep it up lefties, just remember, you put us here.

Aye, blame the victim.

"It's the fault of liberals that people voted for a racist. You guys made them racist!"

That's some pretty warped logic.

It's left wing logic...It's the same reaction that caused Brexit and Donald Trump to be voted in as President, it's a reaction to left-wing policy's and narrative, it's a reaction to not being listened to over Immigration, keep it up.

Doubling down on the whole 'liberals made them racist' thing, I see. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I was thinking the same thing.  Is Clay Co. mostly Progressive?  If so, the Republicans probably don't have much to pull from.

I'm not sure how bad or not... but looking at the numbers, the Reps got a total of 3,003 votes dispersed over 4 candidates. The incumbent Dem ran unopposed and got 3,757 votes.

A total of 6,760 votes. And that district has a population of 37,681. So a relatively small amount of the voters turned out to vote at all.

And just for some fun extra demographic info of the district..

The slogan should have been Make America Hate Again, because that's what really happened.

This stuff is on the rise, and it's selling. 

Now we'll hear all about how the "real racists" are on the other side. 

Except that we're not electing these people.
