Current Events > Missouri candidate's kids tells voters to not for their dad.

(+) Yeah! (+)

While most political candidates can count on the unwavering support of their family members, two of the three children of Missouri Republican Steve West have a message for voters in the states 15th House District: Dont vote for our dad.

I cant imagine him being in any level of government, Steve Wests daughter Emily told The Kansas City Star. Hes made multiple comments that are racist and homophobic and how he doesnt like the Jews.

Steve Wests son, Andy, contacted the paper on Tuesday with a similar message about his fanatic father.

He must be stopped, Andy West said. His ideology is pure hatred.

In a 30-minute phone conversation with NBC News on Wednesday evening, Steve West rebutted the claims made by his children.

Im not anti-Semitic, he said. I have no racism at all, and Im not a homophobic.

West blamed his fraught relationship with his children on his ex-wife, who he said poisoned them during an extremely toxic divorce.

Despite his assertions that hes not a bigot, however, West has not been shy about voicing his extreme views. After West's landslide victory in Augusts GOP primary, The Star compiled a long list of offensive comments he made on his radio show, YouTube channel and website.

Regarding the LGBTQ community, West has said homosexuality and pedophilia are absolutely linked, and he called womens athletics a haven and breeding ground for lesbianism.

When asked about these comments by NBC News, West doubled down on his claims, recalling a story about a heterosexual young woman who abandoned her college scholarship after being outnumbered by lesbians in the women's locker room. He also claimed that homosexuality and pedophilia indeed go hand in hand.

The homosexual world, they are by much greater percent predators especially when it comes to boys, he said. When asked for evidence to back these claims, he said to look up the work of Milo Yiannopoulos, a conservative gay provocateur who was fired from Breitbart after video was uncovered of him making sympathetic comments about child-adult sexual relationships.

I'd do the same if I were his kid. Fuck that guy.
