The Minnesota Republican Party officially endorsed far-right conspiracy theorist Royce White as its Senate nominee this year, potentially setting him up to run against incumbent Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar. White, who is Black, had a cup of coffee in the National Basketball Association before walking away amid mental health issues.
Two-thirds of the delegates to the Minnesota state GOP convention voted to officially endorse his primary bid on Saturday, aligning them with another White supporter: Trump adviser Steve Bannon. Media Matters compiled this handy list of lowlights that helps sum up White’s past few years: Media Matters also included screenshots of White using homophobic and blatantly sexist slurs online. As you might imagine, White’s politics haven’t proven to be a winner in the past.
