LIBERTY, Mo. -- The son and daughter of a Missouri House candidate are urging voters not to elect him. Emily and Andy West sayid their father, 64-year-old Steve West, is racist, homophobic and opposes Jews and Muslims. Steve West gained attention after winning the GOP primary in August for a northwest Missouri House seat by nearly 25 points over three other candidates. Missouri Republican leaders quickly distanced themselves from West after word spread that he often espoused racism and other bigoted views on a radio show. "A lot of his views are just very out there," Emily West told the Kansas City Star. "He's made multiple comments that are racist and homophobic and how he doesn't like the Jews." The Star reports Andy West said electing his father to the Legislature would legitimize his views. "My dad's a fanatic. He must be stopped," Andy West said. "His ideology is pure hatred. It's totally insane."
Missouri House candidate is "racist" and "homophobic," his daughter says

Racists tend to gravitate to Trumpism. Last month all 6 of Arizona GOP Rep. Paul Gosar's siblings urged people to vote for his Democratic opponent.

Racism is such a watered-down word. Some folks just pray their political opponents get accused of racism. That's for example, their schtick. Which is worse? Racism or lack of border integrity? Dems would claim racism is worse (some GOPS, too).
BTW, dems consider border integrity as racism...:lamo
That you see this as having anything to do with President Trump is another of endless examples on the forum of a bizarre and self destructive anti-Trump fixation.Missouri House candidate is "racist" and "homophobic," his daughter says

Keep in mind that our left/right disagreement on immigration is largely not between having open borders and not—the former being a straw-man. The real disagreement is whether there's an actual problem with the status-quo of immigration at all. Last time I checked, we have low unemployment, Obama deported 250 million people, and we've actually been hemorrhaging immigrants, relatively speaking.
Keeping that in mind, I absolutely think that electing a person with views so crazy that his kids are coming out against him, a person who literally despises a portion of Americans simply on ethnic grounds, is a huge problem, and more pressing than the oh-so-scary issue of illegal immigration.

I consider dems who go around calling others racist like AGW environmentalists. Concerned with an issue but will only use their ideology to solve it so they really aren't concerned, IMO. They're making political points, instead.

Wow!
if all that is true and much of it seems supported, how does a person like that EVER get votes once he is exposed so badly..... so sad that many people dont care or feel the same way. Hopefully they just didnt know and the word is getting out.

Isn't this like the sixth GOP candidate whose family have disowned them and exposed as them as frauds????
It is exactly about open borders. Claiming otherwise is the strawman.
That is what he gets for not buying her that MY Little Pony set when she was a little girl.
The racist, homophobic bastid!
