Hilton Head, SC Mayoral Candidates Include A Holocaust Denier And A Black Democrat Hitler Fan

Everything I’ve ever heard about Hilton Head, SC has been overwhelmingly positive. So I’ve got to say… I was a biiiit surprised when I heard about the SH*T STORM that is their mayoral race.

First up, they’ve got a FULL BLOWN HOLOCAUST DENIER.

I sh*t you not. The New York Times once reported that “users of a roommate-matching service” this dude founded “had started getting emails with Holocaust denial literature.”

LOVELY.

According to the Post and Courier: 

Santomauro, a three-year resident of Hilton Head who has lived much of his life in New York City, is running on a typical platform for a booming coastal area of South Carolina: better traffic management and a moratorium on new building projects.

He’s also a huge proponent of free speech. So to someone who’s not aware of his “dark little secret”, he sounds like a pretty solid candidate, right?

WRONG.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

He is a certifiable WHACKJOB.

He’s also a self-described “Holocaust revisionist” and denies several documented facts of the mass extermination of Jews and others that took place before and during World War II.

Oh dear GOD…

Santomauro insists that his views are about taking a critical look at established history. But he also told The Post and Courier that he thought an outsized number of Jewish people control banking and the entertainment industry. He sympathized with white supremacist marchers in the 2017 Charlottesville, Va., demonstration who chanted, “Jews will not replace us.”

That chant, he said, “doesn’t come from a vacuum.”

FFS. DELETE YOUR CANDIDACY, YOU CREEP.

So, SURELY the candidates only get better from here, right?

Like… there’s no way any of them could POSSIBLY be this bad…

NEXT UP is Rochelle Williams, an African-American Democrat who is making her second run for mayor of Hilton Head. She came in fourth place last time.

She just so happens to think Hitler is a super cool dude.

She offered that she thought Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was successful in uniting people.

UNITING people?! Adolf Hitler literally convinced ONE group of people to EXTERMINATE another group of people.

Isn’t that the very OPPOSITE of “uniting?”

He was just doing what he HAD to do, according to Ms. Williams.

“He did what he had to do,” Williams said. “He got that many people to follow him. He must have been doing something right.”

Girl… REALLY? You REALLY wanna go there? He did what he had to DO? WHUT?

Hitler’s political rise in Germany was fueled by stoking ethnic resentment against Jews as the country faced difficult economic circumstances and punitive treatment from other world powers in the wake of World War I.

That resentment ultimately resulted in World War II and a network of mass-extermination camps and ghettos that ensnared millions — not only Jews, but also LGBT people, gypsies and others.

None of that matters to Rochelle… because Hitler’s got MAD SKILLS.

Williams said what she admired primarily about Hitler was his ability to control people.

“I like the power part, I guess, the control part,” she said.

SHE LIKES THE “POWER PART.”

AS IN THE POWER TO END MILLIONS OF LIVES.

WHAT THE EVERLOVING F*CK?!

Fortunately for the people of Hilton Head, there are five other candidates… and none of them ring FULL BLOWN NUTJOB bells quite like these two do.

But seriously…WTF HILTON HEAD?! EXPLAIN YOURSELF AT ONCE.
