A white supremacist who is running for the North Carolina General Assembly has claimed that ‘God is racist’ and that ‘Jews are descended from Satan.’
The local Republican party has withdrawn its support from Russell Walker this week after he was connected to website where he espoused his shocking racist and anti-Semitic views.
In one essay, titled ‘What is wrong with being a white supremacist?’, Walker – who is running for state House District 48 – made outrageous claims including that ‘God is a racist and a white supremacist.’

‘There is no such thing as equality,’ he wrote. ‘Someone or something has to be superior…and that group is the whites of the world.
‘In all history in sub-Saharan Africa, no two-story building or a waterproof boat was ever made.’
The website, which is linked to Walker, also includes other racist nonsense such as his claim that ‘Jews are not Semitic they are Satanic as they all descend from Satan’ and disproved conspiracy theories such as ‘vaccinations, especially for young children, create a favorable climate for Autism.’
He also makes disparaging comments against civil rights leader Martin Luther King claiming he ‘wanted to destroy the Caucasian race through mixing and integration. He was an agent of Satan.’

On Tuesday, the North Carolina Republican Party withdrew its support from the legislative nominee for state House District 48, which includes Scotland and Hoke counties, and said it would be looking for a candidate who better reflects party values.
‘Based on recent behavior and previous statements, the North Carolina Republican Party is unable and unwilling to support the Republican nominated candidate for North Carolina House District 48,’ Hayes said in the statement to the News and Observer.
Walker captured the Republican primary by defeating John Imbaratto with 824 votes, or 65 percent of the votes cast, in the May primary. He faces seven-term incumbent Democrat Garland Pierce, who is black and who ran unopposed in his party’s primary.

No one answered a call to a phone number listed for Walker Wednesday.
It is not clear whether Walker owns the white supremacy website, but he is noted as author of essays and articles that have appeared there. The Southern Poverty Law Center says the site, www.christdescendedfromjoseph.com is his.
On his campaign website, Walker said he was given an ‘A’ rating by the National Rifle Association and supported by at least two other pro-gun organizations.
Also on his campaign website, Walker said he is suing the Hoke County News-Journal because it wouldn’t print his letters to the editor.
Ken MacDonald, the paper’s editor, wrote that Walker holds frequent protests outside the newspaper’s office with signs which said, ‘What is wrong with being a racist’ or ‘God is racist.’
Walker also filed a lawsuit last year challenging the decision to remove a Confederate flag from a South Carolina courtroom. The lawsuit was thrown out. He told a Charlotte television station that the flag was a religious symbol to him.
On his campaign page, Walker compared his Democratic opponent to wallpaper, saying ‘He looks good, is there but is absolutely useless.’
