An ex-con, self-declared racist with openly misogynistic views is running for Congress as an independent candidate in Virginia's 10th Congressional District.
In an interview with HuffPost on Thursday, Nathan Larson, 37, of Charlottesville, Virginia, was reportedly "open about his pedophilia" because he doesn't want to be constrained by political correctness.
"A lot of people are tired of political correctness and being constrained by it," Larson said. "People prefer when there's an outsider who doesn't have anything to lose and is willing to say what's on a lot of people's minds."
Larson admitted to HuffPost he was behind the websites suiped.org and incelocalypse.today, which no longer exist but provided forums for pedophiles and misogynists.
Though he never claimed to engage in sexual acts with minors in posts on these websites, Larson allegedly expressed a desire to do so. In his various writings, Larson also endorsed incest, kidnapping and rape.
From HuffPost:
When asked whether he's a pedophile or just writes about pedophilia, he said, "It's a mix of both. When people go over the top there's a grain of truth to what they say."
Asked whether there was a "grain of truth" in his essay about father-daughter incest and another about raping his ex-wife repeatedly, he said yes, offering that plenty of women have rape fantasies.
Larson's campaign manifesto includes praise for Adolf Hitler and vehemently anti-feminist language.
He described Hitler as a "white supremacist hero" and in a section supporting gun rights stated, "Guns don't kill people - feminists do." Larson argued in order to prevent future school shootings "patriarchal" rule must be reinstituted in American families.
In the manifesto, Larson also states, "I am indeed racist."
Larson ran for Congress in 2008 in Virginia's 1st District but was disqualified after threatening to kill the president. He ultimately spent 14 months in a federal prison for the threat and was barred from running for public office.
After Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe restored voting rights and other civil rights to felons, however, Larson once again became eligible to run.
Larson is not the only person with unabashed white supremacist views hoping to end up in Congress. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a record number of white nationalists are running for national office in 2018.
Despite his extremely controversial views, Larson believes people will vote for him because they're "open-minded" and are tired of establishment candidates.
Business Insider reached out to Larson for further clarification on his stances on pedophilia, rape, racism and other controversial topics, but didn't receive an immediate response.
