Holocaust denier Arthur Jones has been running for different offices since last century and failing, but in 2018 he is enjoying the spotlight. He is the only GOP candidate on the ballot for a Chicago-area congressional seat.
He is running unopposed on the ballot in the March 20 primary for Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District, which includes a section of Chicago, in addition to Western Springs and La Grange.
And social media went crazy about it, with his name among the top 10 US trends Thursday morning.
This is an abomination that people like Arthur Jones and Paul Nephlen feel empowered to be so in your face now since trump and his traitorous horde have invaded the halls of power.
It is a telling sign in the demise of a nation

Fact that people like Arthur Jones and Paul Nehlen run in Republican primaries doesn't make #GOP a Holocaust denier party but it does make @GOP a party that Holocaust deniers feel comfortable in. https://t.co/jwrBUv2RMv
