           Governor Bruce Rauner has slammed Holocaust denier and congressional     candidate Arthur Jones. Jones, who is also a white supremacist and     anti-Semite, is the only candidate running in the Republican primary for     the Third Congressional District seat currently held by Democrat Dan Lipinski. “There is no room for Neo Nazis in     American politics. I condemn this man in the strongest possible terms,” the     governor said in a statement. [Sun-Times]
