Illinois Republican Candidate for Congress Says 'Holocaust Never Happened'

The Oak Lawn Patch reported that Arthur Jones, 64, a Lyons, IL, insurance salesman who organizes family-friendly, neo-Nazi events around Adolf Hitler's birthday, hopes to be the Republican candidate chosen to run against Democratic Congressman Dan Lipinski in Illinois' 3rd Congressional District.

"As far as I’m concerned, the Holocaust is nothing more than an international extortion racket by the Jews," Jones said. "It’s the blackest lie in history. Millions of dollars are being made by Jews telling this tale of woe and misfortune in books, movies, plays and TV. The more survivors, the more lies that are told."

Jones is running against Jim Falvey and Richard Grabowski in a district that has sent a conservative Democrat to Congress for decades. The district includes the descendants of Irish, German, Polish and Czech immigrants.
