Patrick Little may be considered a long-shot candidate to replace California Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D).
But that’s not stopping supporters from purchasing radio ads full of anti-Semitic slurs aimed at Feinstein — and calling on listeners to support Little, a neo-Nazi and avowed anti-Semite.
The 90-second robocalls, first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, peppered California airwaves this week.
The robocall encouraged listeners to back Little, who the robocall says has “vowed to end Jewish control over America.”
On Gab, the account for The Road to Power — which sponsored the robocalls — said over 350,000 of the robocalls had gone out to Californians.
Little told the Chronicle that he did not know of the robocall’s existence, but would not disavow the ad’s contents.
“Show me the lie, and I will consider renouncing it,” he told the Chronicle.
A recent poll has Patrick Little, an unrepentant racist and anti-Semite, as the GOP's front-runner for California's Senate seat.
- GOP front-runner for California Senate seat hates Jews, loves Hitler, and wants to destroy the U.S. -
On Gab, a social media platform popular among other white supremacists, Little celebrated the calls. “Great work, whoever did that,” Little said.
Little made waves last month when he placed second in a SurveyUSA poll of potential candidates for California’s June 5 primary, coming in at 18 points and trailing only Feinstein.
While Little has not placed as high in other polls, his his presence was enough for the California GOP to boot him from their May convention — after which Little stomped outside, spat on an Israeli flag, and complained that the “Republican Party of California is nothing but Zionist stooges...More..

If he's the front runner for the GOP, that says volumes about California...
USA Today, May 3, 2018, "'Counter-Semitic' Candidate Runs As Republican in California Senate Race."
A Holocaust denier who praises Adolf Hitler and aims to "remove the Jews from power" is running as a Republican for a U.S. Senate seat out of California — and a recent poll found him in second place trailing only incumbent Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Patrick Little got more support than any other Republican candidate in an April 27 SurveyUSA poll. Little polled at 18%, compared with Feinstein's 39%. The next highest-performing GOP candidate came in at 8%.
Republican leaders in California are working hard to distance themselves from the self-described "counter-Semitic candidate." "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," said Matt Fleming, the communications director for the California Republican Party in a statement. "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."
On his blog, Little identifies himself as "the only America first candidate in California." He also asserts that there is no evidence the Germans killed 6 million Jews during World War II and that Hitler ordered that "Jews in internment were to be treated well." According to Little, who has won the endorsement of former KKK leader David Duke, "there were concert halls, swimming pools, soccer fields, ice cream, and many other luxuries at Auschwitz." On top of that, Little has called Hitler "one of the greatest leaders in history," vowed that "America will no longer be Israel’s whore" and said President Trump "has caved to the Jewish supremacists who control this country."...
Little's poll performance raises the legitimate possibility that he could be the Republican option against Feinstein on November's ballot thanks to California's "jungle primary" in which the top two vote-getters go on to the general election regardless of party.
