CHRIS HAYES (HOST): Okay, here's a question for you: how many Nazis or Holocaust deniers, and/or explicit white nationalists, or pro-Confederacy fetishists are running for office this year? At least half a dozen, and weirdly, they're all running as Republicans.

Pro-Confederacy candidate Corey Stewart is running for US Senate from Virginia. He's been openly supported by President Trump.



And then there's this guy: Seth Grossman, running in a swing congressional district in New Jersey, who made plenty of bigoted remarks -- but only lost his NRCC endorsement after Media Matters unearthed his enthusiastic endorsement of a 2014 white nationalist propaganda piece that said black people, quote, “are a threat to all those who cross their paths.”
