A candidate who keeps adding a Nazi salute to his ballot name and losing is once again running for office.

Richard Mayers filed to run for Illinois governor and asked that he be listed on the statewide ballots as "Richard Benedict (Sieg Heil) Mayers" and listed his party as the "Germanic Aryan Supremacy Smokers, Gamblers," according to local reporting.

The Democratic and Republican Parties of Illinois teamed up earlier this week to petition against his nomination, according to the State Journal-Register, an Illinois newspaper....

An extremism expert accused the Trump administration of brazenly using white supremacist and Nazi propaganda as ICE ramps up its aggressive attacks across American cities.

Wendy Via, co-founder of the Global Project Against Extremism and Hate, described how as tensions have escalated following the ICE killing of 37-year-old mother Renee Good and that the administration has increased its "contentious messaging" as questions rise over the agency's aggressive immigration tactics, The Daily Beast reported.

“DHS, and now other departments, are hardly bothering with dog whistles anymore,” Via told The Beast....

An analyst warned of a "dangerous rot inside the modern Republican Party under [President Donald] Trump" amid rising "Nazi rhetoric" that Republicans appear unclear on how to address.

Just in the last few weeks, an alarming number of Neo-Nazi-related scandals — including the leaked Young Republicans racist, homophobic and antisemitic messages and Paul Ingrassia's messages saying he has a "Nazi streak" — are tied to the GOP and its followers, Bulwark Managing Editor Sam Stein and journalist and political commentator John Avlon discussed Thursday in a Substack interview.

Avlon has covered Neo-Nazism and written his book "Wing Nuts" about it. Stein asked him about "what Republicans should do about this — and the divide that's emerged on the right over whether to condemn it, or to do the JD Vance thing, which is there are no enemies to my right." ...

Donald Trump's longest-serving chief of staff recently called his former boss a "fascist," and said Trump wished his generals were more like Adolf Hitler's generals, but one conservative analyst has had it with tying the former president's fans to Nazis.

Brendan Buck, a former key adviser to ex-House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), appeared on MSNBC Saturday, where he spoke up about what he thinks is an unfair comparison regarding Trump. Buck, a conservative critic of the former president, said Hillary Clinton went too far when she compared Trump's upcoming rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi event.

"I do have to say, I find that Madison Square Garden conversation a bit silly," Buck said. "Look, what Hillary Clinton said there is completely obnoxious." ...

Rudy Giuliani has fallen low in the four years since conducting a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia, which kickstarted the former New York City mayor’s inglorious era of election denialism, indictments, lawsuits, disbarment, debt and bankruptcy.

It’s hard to imagine how the man once widely admired for leading his city in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack could fall any lower. It would take something like hosting a Nazi on his YouTube channel.

Which is exactly what Giuliani did on Aug. 23 following the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party's presidential nomination....

A neo-Nazi former porn actor who fantasized about launching a white supremacist “ground war” against the U.S. government, destroying electrical substations and assassinating political enemies was sentenced to six years in prison on Thursday.

Paul Kryscuk, 38, had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to damage an energy facility.

Justin Hermanson, a 25-year-old Marine Corps veteran and Kryscuk’s co-defendant who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to manufacture firearms and ship interstate, received a sentence of one year and nine months in prison....
