Missouri state GOP candidate as a radio host once said 'Hitler was right'

Source: The Hill

A Republican running for the Missouri state House has a history of making anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic comments online, including saying “Hitler was right” about who was “behind” the events taking place in Germany before World War II, according to a new report.

Steve West, who won the GOP primary for Missouri House’s 15th District on Tuesday by nearly 25 points, often pushes conspiracy theories on his Monday morning radio show, The Kansas City Star reported Thursday.

“Looking back in history, unfortunately, Hitler was right about what was taking place in Germany. And who was behind it,” West reportedly said in January 2017.

West has also accused “Jewish cabals” of “harvesting baby parts” through Planned Parenthood.

He told the newspaper his remarks were taken out of context. “Jewish people can be beautiful people, but there’s ideologies associated with that that I don’t agree with,” he told the Star. “Jews today are a remnant of the tribe of Judah that rejected Christ.”
