MN-SEN: Minnesota GOP Senate candidate: 'The bad guys won in WWII'

[RandySF]

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.”

As is known to most, the Allied forces were fighting to defeat the Nazis and eliminate genocidal fascism that had taken hold of much of Europe and Asia, not advancing “controlling interests.” White also erroneously claimed that General George Patton was murdered; in reality, the general died in 1945 from complications from a car crash.

White also has a habit of alienating voters, including members of his own party. In one recent exchange, he called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell “RINO Scum.” In another, he called National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Steve Daines a “RINO & Neocon” and indicated he would “track [Republicans] down and weed [them] out if they aren’t extreme enough.”

1. Holy gaslighting history Batman! "the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces"?

The USSR initially sided with Nazi Germany and invaded Poland from the east in 1939. Germany didn't invade the USSR until 1941 after they defeated France. Jeez, that's what, 9th grade history?

2. "If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism..."

You mean like this pic of FDR and Stalin sitting in adjacent chairs at Yalta?



Holy cow, that requires close looking to see!

Nobody knew about this before!!!

The terms "lend lease" and "eastern front" are cryptic and mysterious and esoteric indeed!

3. Another f*cken nazi

Why do people like this run for office? Does he really think that anyone who had a relative in the war is going to vote for him. They will hate him. I really don't get the right wing. Half of them have to be mentally deficient and the other half just wants attention so they say off the wall crap. Why would anyone want to be them?

4. As a Black man, Mr Royce should know

That the Nazis castrated all the Black German men (they did exist prior to 1935) to prevent them from impregnating Aryan women.

But keep wishing to live under a Nazi regime.

5. This is not true.

The Nazis did forcibly sterilize several hundred mixed-race people in the Rhineland, but they did not pursue that against the wider Black population.

6. Amy Klobuchar on her way to her 4th Senate term.

It was my pleasure to vote for her in 2006 as well as getting to know her and her late father, the late Jim Klobuchar. His columns in the Star-Tribune were a delight to read. He was so proud of her.

Amy is "good people" as we say here in Minnesota. Steadfast, honest, and speaks the truth. Is it any wonder she has the respect and support of many of the State's Republicans, including former Gov. Arnie Carlson.

Go Amy!
