The adult son and daughter of a Republican candidate for the Missouri state legislature are pleading with voters to reject their father.
"My dad's a fanatic. He must be stopped," Andy West told the Kansas City Star about his father, Steve West, 64.
"His ideology is pure hatred. It's totally insane."
"A lot of his views are just very out there," his daughter Emily West added. "He's made multiple comments that are racist and homophobic and how he doesn't like the Jews."
Thanksgiving should be fun round their house.
The candidate - who hosts a right-wing radio show - has repeatedly denied anti-Semitism.
But on his radio show, he has made several inflammatory comments, including in January 2017: "Hitler was right about what was taking place in Germany. And who was behind it."
He has also said that homosexuality and paedophilia "are absolutely linked".
The Missouri Republican Party has repudiated his "abhorrent rhetoric".
Mr West is not the first candidate this election cycle to come under attack from his own flesh and blood.
