Worst Campaign Idea Ever?

Apparently a Congressional candidate spoke at a celebration of Adolf Hilter’s birthday. But don’t worry! He’s no Nazi!

Zirkle confirmed to The News-Dispatch on Monday he spoke Sunday in Chicago at a meeting of the Nationalist Socialist Workers Party, whose symbol is a swastika.

When asked if he was a Nazi or sympathized with Nazis or white supremacists, Zirkle replied he didn’t know enough about the group to either favor it or oppose it.

The report uses objective newspaper voice for great comedic effect — it could be straight out of an Onion article.
