Candidate's Antisemitic Statements Are Included in California's Official Election Guide

California's Secretary of State this week began sending to voters and posted online its Official Voter Information Guide for the June 2 Primary Election (full text). Every candidate who accepts California's voluntary campaign spending limits is permitted to buy space for a candidate statement in the Guide. Thirty-one candidates for Governor are listed in the Guide. One candidate-- Don J. Grundmann-- posted a virulently antisemitic Candidate Statement. It is the only Candidate Statement in the Guide that is accompanied by a disclaimer that reads: "The views and opinions expressed by the candidates are their own and do not represent the views and opinions of the Secretary of State’s office." Grundmann's Statement reads in part:

Kirk murdered by shaped-charge bomb Israel used. Government knows.... Israel “art students” wired Twin Towers for 9/11.controlled demolition. Planes did NOT destroy towers. Israel did. 3,000 murdered to create new “Pearl Harbor” to justify fghting wars for Israel.... Government knows. Israel (our greatest enemy), NOT Iran, will suitcase nuke U S. via “Samson Option”—false fag attack to blame on Iran/Russia and permanently end our nation.... They call Palestinians AND Christians AND America “Amalek”—their sworn forever enemy. We are “goyim” (less than human animals/cattle) that they will enslave. We are stupid chumps. Israel rules our conquered Republic. Talmud—their Bible—says Christ boiling in in Israel allowed/planned/promoted Hamas attack (they murdered their own people) to justify genocide and steal billion$ in Gaza oil/gas rights. Christian Zionism = soul poison. Talmudic “Judeo-Christian values” don’t exist....
