Royce White, the Republican nominee for Senate in Minnesota, is facing criticism for a controversial tweet from 2020 in which he claimed that “the bad guys won in WWII.” The tweet, which remains on the platform, argues that there were no “good guys” in the war and that entities like the United Nations, IMF, and World Bank benefited from the conflict.
While White clarified to Newsweek that he wasn’t intending to disparage veterans, his statement has been condemned by VoteVets, a progressive political action committee, as “bizarre” and “reprehensible.”
This isn’t the first time White’s political past has raised eyebrows. The former NBA player, who previously ran for Congress in 2022, spent $1,200 in campaign funds at a Miami strip club. He is also facing allegations of illegal campaign spending and is reportedly behind on child support payments.
White’s candidacy continues to attract controversy with his recent confusing tweet on crime in Minneapolis, where he misidentified a map of drinking fountains as crime hotspots. These incidents have led to questions about his judgment and suitability for office.
His opponents are likely to use these controversies to attack his character and qualifications, raising concerns about his ability to represent Minnesota in the Senate.
