Nathan Larson is a pedophile and a white supremacist. And he's running for Congress
USA TodayNathan Larson, a man who advocates pedophilia, white supremacy and rape, and who served 16 months in prison for threatening to kill the president, is running for Congress.
The 37-year-old accountant from Charlottesville, Va., is running as an independent in Virginia's 10th congressional district. Larson identifies himself as a "quasi-neoreactionary libertarian." His platform includes drug legalization, the elimination of all regulations regarding firearms and "putting an end to U.S. involvement in foreign wars arising from our country's alliance with Israel."
Larson's unorthodox candidacy further complicates an already wild race in Virginia's 10th. Six Democrats, including one who said President Trump poses as much of a threat to democracy as Osama bin Laden, are vying for the nomination to take on Republican incumbent Rep. Barbara Comstock. Comstock, considered one of the more vulnerable Republicans in this year's midterms, is facing a primary challenge from the right by financial planner Shak Hill.
In 2008, Larson sent a letter to the Secret Service in which he threatened to kill either George W. Bush or Barack Obama, according to The Washington Post. The following year, he pleaded guilty to threatening to kill a president and served 16 months in federal prison.

It's almost like the GOP tries to get the worst people possible to represent them. And the even scarier thing is that they'll get votes too.
