The California Republican Party has disavowed its top-polling candidate to take on Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein this November after it emerged that he has espoused a range of white nationalist views, including calling for a country “free from Jews.”
Patrick Little, a 33-year-old extremist who last week topped other Republican Senate candidates in a poll of the field, told Newsweek on Monday that he admires Adolf Hitler, and would prefer to see Jewish Americans deported to Israel. He falsely denied that the genocide of Jews took place during World War II and incorrectly suggested that Germany was not an aggressor during that conflict.
“Mr. Little has never been an active member of our party. I do not know Mr. Little and I am not familiar with his positions,” Matt Fleming, communications director for the California Republican Party told Newsweek. “But in the strongest terms possible, we condemn anti-Semitism and any other form of religious bigotry, just as we do with racism, sexism or anything else that can be construed as a hateful point of view.”

If these people even EXIST inside a nation, that nation needs to take action to remove them. Screw their presence in political parties, their presence in your NATION is a problem.

Because he is currently the Republican front runner and is indicative of a growing trend among the Republican Party. I thought I made that very clear in my OP.

The very issue one has with individuals such as Patrick Little, is not with what they say, but what they aim to do. Anyone seeking the expulsion of people from a nation based on their ethnic or religious background, is seeking to indulge in politics based on a phobic fantasy, and must be stopped .

So first we had one of the Republican candidates vying for Paul Ryan's soon to be vacant seat going on David Duke's radio show and quoting anti-Semitic literature.
Then we had the former leader of the American Nazi Party winning a Republican primary in Illinois.
And now we have Dianne Feinstein's best polling possible opponent coming out saying he admires Adolf Hitler.
I know people on this site say that the Left needs to get their house in order (which they do) but it's clear the Republicans need to get their house in order as well. With the rise of the alt-Right it seems to have galvanized a neo-Nazi element within the party. While the official party stance is that these people people should be condemned that doesn't change the fact that people are actually voting for them.
We already have one overt neo-Nazi representing the Republican Party in an election and Little could very well make two. Now granted, the odds of either of them winning their elections are negligible but it is disconcerting that in 2018 we have avowed white supremacists representing one of the major parties. What if Paul Nehlen actually wins the primary in Wisconsin? He would have a very good chance at winning the election in November. How would the Republicans feel about being represented by a white supremacist in Congress?
We're witnessing a very disturbing trend here and the Republicans need to do something to nip it in the bud. Because if it continues to grow not only will it harm the party but it has the chance to harm the nation as well.

Which part do you need confirmation of? You can check the ballot and see that he's on it. You can go find the polls that have him trailing Feinstein by 18 points. Or you can view his online social media presence and see the views he expresses.
I know you hate everything about the Left and think everything is peachy in the world of the Right but you need to get your head out of the sand and recognize that you have a Nazi problem. I would have thought that the Unite the Right rally would have been a major tip off for that fact.
