The Republicans can't help but hand it to Hitler lately. Royce White, a former NBA player and present-day conspiracist running for a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, claimed in a recently unearthed social media post that the bad guys won in World War Two.
The bad guys won in WWII. There were no 'good guys' in that war, White wrote in a post still live on X, referring to the American, British and Soviet troops who defeated Nazi forces and liberated millions from concentration camps. The controlling interests had a jump ball.
The remarks were resurfaced by Heartland Signal. White has been running to unseat Sen. Amy Klobuchar and the seemingly pro-Nazi tweets aren't tthe only controversial comments made he's made online.
In a post this week, White told a voter on the fence to pull your skirt down, prompting that voter to respond, you just lost my families support.

This is the loon running against Amy Klobuchar. No one better pull out some bogus "poll" that will claim that "the race is tightening".

(48,231 posts)support the Second World War because he was a pacifist. He never regretted it. He just didn't take sides. He sent a congratulatory telegram to Jeannette Rankin for being the only member in Congress to vote against the War Resolution.
And fast forward. Here's this guy who finds a way to say that the Allies shouldn't have defeated the Third Reich and the Axis. And he's allowed to go unscathed and not condemned wholesale.
My uncle was more of an American than this creep.

And Reagan still maintained his support for the Argentine Junta - until the '82 Falklands fiasco anyway.

(22,384 posts)He sounds like he's a perfect representative for today's Republican party.
In 2023, White appeared on Steve Bannon's podcast and said: "Look, let's just be frank. Women have become too mouthy."[105] This comment was later circulated by the Kamala Harris presidential campaign.[106]
During 2023, White also used his Twitter account to call Nikki Haley a "cunt". [Note: that tweet is still up]
... watchdog group The Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, accusing White of misappropriating more than $157,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses.[119][121] In July, The Daily Beast published an article alleging that White spent donor funds from his 2022 congressional campaign in a strip club in Miami after his election loss.[121][124] The article also said that FEC filings from the 2022 campaign showed "more than $100,000 in outgoing wire transfers and checks with no stated recipient or purpose".[124] White's has denied any improper use of donor money, and reported reimbursing his campaign....
White has four children.[127][128] It has been reported by multiple outlets that White is over $100,000 in arrears on child-support payments for one of his children.
