Royce White, the 2024 Republican nominee for Senate in Minnesota, wrote in a social media post two years ago that “the bad guys won in WWII.”

White’s controversial opinion on World War II, first noted by Heartland Signal, is still up.

“It dawned on me today,” he wrote in a November 2020 post on X, then known as Twitter. “The bad guys won in WWII. There were no ‘good guys’ in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces. Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.”

Yet VoteVets, a progressive political action committee, wasn’t buying it.

“This isn’t just bizarre—it’s reprehensible,” the group wrote in response to White’s post. “His unhinged rants and attacks on his own party show exactly why the GOP’s candidate problem is a threat to us all.”

    So who were “the good guys” in World War II in your estimation? Because someone defeated the Nazis and liberated the death camps.

      I mean they literally said there were no good guys, no? It was bad people and worse people.

      The good guy was Hitler and the Nazis, they were always friendly and waving to everybody.

      This binary thinking is going to destroy the world, isn’t it? Societies and human endeavors are a messy, complex business.

        Yeah, remember how the world was destroyed in 1945?
