'Defeat the Nazi': Illinois Republicans Campaign Against Holocaust Denier Running in Party's Primary RaceThe Illinois Republican Party has launched a major campaign to try and convince voters not to back a neo-Nazi to represent the party in an upcoming district election.
The Illinois GOP suffered huge embarrassment in 2018 when Jones was the only Republican candidate to stand on the primary ballot, having secured enough signatures to represent the party and catching it off guard with no alternative contender in the heavily Democratic district. Party officials are now endorsing Mike Fricilone, the leader of the Republican minority on the Will County Board, and are urging voters to do the same.
"Make no mistake about it, there is nothing Republican about Art Jones and his Nazi beliefs. We disavow what he stands for and his candidacy has no place within the Republican Party.", the state GOP is going to leverage the $247,000 in its federal account to launch its campaign against Jones which includes online ads, mailers and robocalls.NewsweekIn a statement, Fricilone said.
I hate Nazi’s. -Jake. Anyone, anyone?
There is a reason so many NAZIS run as Republicans..... It is a really obvious reason.
