Emily West, whose father is a Republican candidate for the Missouri State House, is telling voters not to support her dad on Election Day, according to The Kansas City Star.

“I can’t imagine him being in any level of government,” she told the newspaper, referring to Steve West, 64, on Monday.

Steve West made headlines over the summer for previous anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic comments he made online that came to light, including one in which he said “Hitler was right” about who was “behind” the events taking place in Germany before World War II.

“A lot of his views are just very out there,” said Emily West. “He’s made multiple comments that are racist and homophobic and how he doesn’t like the Jews.”

The candidate's daughter told the Star she became concerned after seeing yard signs in support of her dad in the Clay County House district.

I wouldn’t vote for my dad, either, for the same reasons.

Clearly, this is a daddy-issue, and really nothing much to do with real opinion.

Hillary Diane Rodham was famous for those, too.

“A lot of his views are just very out there,”,,,,,,,,says every single democrat about every single Republican.

I love how the person who cuts YOU out of their life because you won’t drop out of a political campaign that they are trying to blackmail you to drop out of is portrayed as some kind of hero by the Hill writer.

What would any sensible person say to a daughter, relative, even friend that said “I think you should drop out because this won’t end well for you?”

If he truly said those things we would do well to reject him.
But RATs are famous for removing things from context. He may have been quoting someone or giving examples of what NOT to say.

This is all reminiscent of red communist pogroms that convinced millions of children to surrender there parents up to authorities for “reeducation.”

Long ago my Grandfather Peter told me to never choose a side until I had the time to listen to both sides and then ask an independent third party for what they thought. Then decide. To do otherwise is foolish, he said.
