July 5, 2018: Republicans Are Stuck with a Holocaust Denier Running for Congress

 

7/5/18: Speaking of Nazis, the California GOP wakes up to find it has endorsed a Holocaust denier in a race for a seat in Congress.  

Flying under the radar, John Fitzgerald captured a quarter of the vote in the state’s open primary in June. What does Fitzgerald stand for – besides the rise of a hateful GOP fringe element under Trump? “Everything we have been told about the Holocaust is a lie [emphasis added],” he said during a recent radio interview. “My entire campaign, for the most part, is about exposing this lie.” 

If elected, Fitzgerald has a lot of twisted ideas to share. Both major parties, he insists, are controlled by “Jewish elites.” Jews, Fitzgerald insists, played a “prominent role” in the Atlantic slave trade. 

That isn’t correct. 

He claims Israel was behind the 9/11 attacks. 

That isn’t, either.  

According to Fitzgerald, Jewish elites are behind the push for “multiculturalism, diversity and inclusiveness” here and abroad, in “once predominantly white nations.”  

He’s a crackpot. (See: 11/3/18.)
