 Two adult children of Steve West — Republican candidate for the Missouri House's 15th District — say voters should not elect their father, The Kansas City Star reports. 
  
 In comments published Tuesday, Emily and Andy West condemned their father's ideology, which Andy described as "pure hatred ... totally insane." 
  
 Emily West told the paper that her father has “made multiple comments that are racist and homophobic and how he doesn’t like the Jews.” 
  
 The siblings' comments come after a Star report in August on West's history of "bigotry including homophobia, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and outright racism." The report included condemnation of West's comments from the Missouri Republican Party and a concerned statements from an Anti-Defamation League spokesperson. 
  
 The newspaper documented comments West has made as a conservative radio show host, including a quote in which he reportedly said, "Hitler was right about what was taking place in Germany. And who was behind it."

 West told USA TODAY in a Wednesday phone interview that he is not anti-Semitic and contended that some of his previous comments had been taken out of context. 
  
 He detailed extensive grievances with Israel and Jewish people, which he said were political disagreements not connected to race. He also offered a strong critique of Islam's role in Middle-Eastern politics.

 During the interview, West was especially critical of Israel's "Law of Return," a law that grants automatic Israeli citizenship to those who meet the nation’s definition of a Jew. 
  
 Citing that law, West said Jewish people have an “ideology that follows with their race, their loyalty is not to America.” 
  
 West said he renounced anti-Semitic violence and called last week's Pittsburgh synagogue attack that killed 11 people "deplorable" and "inexcusable." 
  
 In comments to the Star, Andy West said his father was not a violent man but that he shared the "same objective" as those who commit anti-Semitic violence: “That objective is the removal of Jews from America. And certainly, if somebody who is already unstable gets the kind of message that he’s preaching, it’s all bad.” 
  
 West told USA TODAY that the children, who he said are in their mid 20s, were caught up in a “very toxic divorce.” His campaign website says he has an adopted daughter and two children from marriage. 
  
 “They’re kids" who are easily influenced by culture and social media, he said.

 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 state’s 15th House District: Don’t vote for our dad. 
  
 “I can’t imagine him being in any level of government,” Steve West’s daughter Emily told The Kansas City Star. “He’s made multiple comments that are racist and homophobic and how he doesn’t like the Jews.”

 Steve West’s 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. 
  
 “I’m not anti-Semitic,” he said. “I have no racism at all, and I’m 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 he’s not a bigot, however, West has not been shy about voicing his extreme views. After West's landslide victory in August’s 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 women’s 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. 
  
 Among his comments targeting Jews, West claimed that St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in New York is getting kids “sick through vaccines” and “torturing them” with anti-cancer drugs “all for a little PR for the Jewish Cabal,” according to The Star. He also claimed Republican Jews are “grooming America, just as a pedophile grooms his victim.” 
  
 When asked about his comments about Jews, West turned the conversation toward Israel, saying, “Israel is a racist state” that seeks to “divide everybody by race.” 
  
 In response to claims that he’s racist, West said he firmly believes “all men are created equal.” 
  
 Rep. Jon Carpenter, the Democratic incumbent, said many people supporting West may not know about his views. 
  
 “I’m deeply disturbed by his candidacy,” he said. “It’s my hope that the voters of the 15th District overwhelmingly reject that kind of bigotry on Election Day.” 
  
 After West won in August, the Missouri Republican Party issued a statement “wholeheartedly” condemning his “abhorrent rhetoric", which is said had "absolutely no place in the Missouri Republican Party or anywhere.” 
  
 The West family feud follows a string of familial denunciations of political figures, including Trump adviser Stephen Miller, the architect of the president’s immigration crackdown. 
  
 Miller’s uncle, David S. Glosser, denounced his nephew’s efforts to end “chain migration,” which Glosser said is the policy that allowed his and Miller’s family to come to America. 
  
 “I shudder at the thought of what would have become of the Glossers had the same policies Stephen so coolly espouses — the travel ban, the radical decrease in refugees, the separation of children from their parents, and even talk of limiting citizenship for legal immigrants — been in effect when Wolf-Leib made his desperate bid for freedom,” Glosser wrote in an op-ed published in August. 
  
 Adam Laxalt, the Republican candidate for Nevada governor, was denounced by 12 family members last week in an op-ed published in The Reno Gazette-Journal. 
  
 “As this Election Day nears, we feel compelled to speak publicly about why we believe that Adam Laxalt is the wrong choice for Nevada’s governorship,” the family wrote. They claimed Laxalt was not really a Nevadan and moved to the state just “to satisfy his enormous political ambitions.” 
  
 The Laxalt campaign noted that after the first op-ed was published, 22 other family members responded in another op-ed affirming their support for the Republican’s candidacy. 
  
 Last month, six siblings of U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., participated in an ad campaign against their brother’s re-election bid, endorsing his Democratic opponent. 
  
 This year’s political family feuds don’t just involve Republicans. Democrat Randy Bryce, who is running to replace Paul Ryan in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, was attacked by his brother, James Bryce, a police officer, in a pro-police advertisement that highlighted the candidate’s arrest record and “cop-hating rhetoric.” 
  
 The Bryce campaign then brought in another family member — their mother, Nancy Bryce, who denounced the whole business in an open letter Wednesday. 
  
 “My family deserves better than this,” she wrote, according to The Wisconsin State Journal.

The son and daughter of the allegedly anti-Semitic candidate who somehow won the Republican primary for a seat in Missouri's House of Representatives both reached out to the Kansas City Star this week to encourage residents of House District 15 not to vote for their father. "My dad’s a fanatic. He must be stopped," says Andy West. "His ideology is pure hatred. It’s totally insane." Adds Emily West, "I can’t imagine him being in any level of government." Steve West, 64, is known for a radio show and website that have espoused anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, racist, and homophobic views. "If he gets elected, it would legitimize him. Then he would become a state official, and he’s saying that Jews shouldn’t even have civil rights," Andy West, the middle of three West children, says. Both he and his sister were concerned to drive through the Clay County House district recently and see lots of support for their father. "You see his signs everywhere," Emily West says. "I don’t understand how people can put out his signs knowing the comments that he’s made." But Steve West spoke to multiple outlets including USA Today and NBC News to insist he's not racist or anti-Semitic and that some of his previous comments have been taken out of context, though he did also air some grievances with Israel, Islam, and Jewish people. He blames a contentious divorce for the rift between him and his children and says his ex-wife "poisoned" them against him. (Two similar stories: Another GOP candidate sent out an allegedly anti-Semitic mailer, and six siblings came together to encourage voters to vote against their brother.)
