Minnesota GOP Senate Candidate Royce White Faces Backlash Over WWII Comments

Royce White's controversial post claiming 'bad guys' won WWII sparks criticism and raises questions about his candidacy.

Royce White, a former NBA player and Republican Senate candidate in Minnesota, is under fire for a resurfaced 2022 social media post claiming 'the bad guys won' World War II.
White clarified that his comments targeted entities like the United Nations and global financial institutions, which he claims benefited from the war without fighting in it.
The backlash includes condemnation from VoteVets, a progressive veterans' group, labeling White's remarks as 'reprehensible.'
White's campaign has been marred by other controversies, including alleged misuse of campaign funds and criticism of Republican leadership.
Polls show White significantly trailing incumbent Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, with his campaign facing additional scrutiny over potential campaign finance violations.
