These 9 Candidates Have Ties To White Nationalists Or Nazis -- And They're All Republicans

More white nationalists are running for state or federal office than in any other election in modern history, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Some of these candidates are proud, card-carrying Nazis, while others have had more subtle flirtations with the “alt-right.” There’s even a Jew among them.

Who should you be keeping an eye out for?

John Fitzgerald, California, 11th Congressional District
Fitzgerald denies the Holocaust, and has sent out robocalls to constituents claiming that Jews are “taking over the world” and “must be stopped.”

Seth Grossman, New Jersey, 2nd Congressional District
Arthur Jones, Illinois, 3rd Congressional District
Steve King, Iowa, 4th Congressional District
Paul Nehlen, Wisconsin, 1st Congressional District
Corey Stewart, Virginia, U.S. Senate
Shiva Ayyadurai, Massachusetts, U.S. Senate
Edwin Duterte, California, 43rd Congressional District has since dropped out
Russell Walker, North Carolina, State House District 48

Dan Lipinski, the incumbent, is likely to win. I just hope that the voters don't get apathetic because that just might get this horror elected.
