As the control of the Senate hangs in the balance, GOP candidates across the country are facing a similar problem: Troubling and bizarre past statements, both in-person and on social media, are coming back to haunt them. But in Minnesota, Royce White is an even more extreme case.

As the control of the Senate hangs in the balance, GOP candidates across the country are facing a similar problem: Troubling and bizarre past statements, both in-person and on social media, are coming back to haunt them. But in Minnesota, Royce White is an even more extreme case.

In a tweet from 2022 that has since resurfaced, White claims that “‘bad guys” won the second world war, saying, “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.”

    Usually “past statements” ends up being something from high school or college where at least the young and dumb defense can help a tiny bit. This is from two years ago lol

    Obligatory “Tell me you’re a Nazi without telling you’re a Nazi”

    Framing WWII as “good-guy/ bad-guy” betrays the staggering naiveté of a History Channel graduate. But this was a long time ago, he’s probably moved on to the Fall of Rome by now.

    This is the same guy who called Mitch McConnell a RINO btw. Fucking next level looney tunes, even for a Conservative.

    Wow, who is surprised that a GOP candidate turned out to be a neo-nazi, Nazi adjacent, or sympathetic to Nazis?

    …

    That’s right, no one.

    what’s this obsession republicans have with calling people “bad guys”? JD vance said it at least 5 times during the debate, and i’ve noticed it being used more in general. aside from republicans, i’ve only seen it used in jokes

    If he’s a black man acting this crazy then there are probably some mighty big skeletons in his closet.
