The Huffington Post website reports today (February 29, 2012) that a congressional candidate -- running as a Republican in the upcoming Illinois primary -- says "the Holocaust never happened."
Arthur Jones, 64, a Lyons, Illinois 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.
He added, "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."
