Distasteful and often baseless accusations of racial insensitivity are nothing new in politics. But one man running for sheriff in Idaho proudly proclaims his prejudice but says he won't discriminate on the job.
According to the Bonner County Daily Bee, local sheriff candidate Shaun Patrick Winkler, 33, has ties to the Aryan Nations and Church of Jesus Christ-Christian, both white supremacist organizations. And despite having taken part in race-based protests, Winkler says he's running in opposition to "increasing federal reach" into the county.
"Whether people will believe me or not, it will be entirely up to their own discretion," Winkler told the paper.
Winkler is running for the Republican nomination in Bonner County against two other men, including the current sheriff, for the GOP nomination, which will be held on May 15.
