Holocaust denier is sole GOP contender in Illinois race for Congress: reports

Arthur Jones, who according to The Washington Post has called the Holocaust a "racket" and a "lie," faces no Republican opponents in the race for the district representing parts of Chicago and its suburbs.

Jones also told the Sun-Times that he's a former leader of the American Nazi Party.

Only in the GOP.

Also from the linked article.
The state's Republican party legally removed him from the primary ballot in 2016, according to the report.

Despite Jones appearing to be poised to claim the GOP nomination, the Illinois Republican party said they will not support him.

“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," Illinois Republican Party chairman Tim Schneider said in a statement to the Sun-Times.

Which is funny ... all the Holocaust deniers I meet are Democrats.

I am 7% Jew and nothing he has said seems to be inaccurate.
