"Silly Americans, we only have Putin's party running against each other, why would you ever need to run ads against your own candidate? All opponents of Putin either commit a mysteriously uncharacteristic crime and are disqualified, or are killed by "Ukraine" or "The west" *winkwink nudgenudge*"

Denying someone participation just for his views is perfectly understandable from "Putin supporter" side, however; it is as undermocratic as it gets, and Russia does that all the time.
He followed all proper procedures and made no mistakes that allowed to bar his participation before. He is also certain to lose. He even gets negative robocalls.
Yet somehow people think he shouldn't even be allowed to run, and Republicans need to provide spoiler candidate that would displace him... sure, if you want to be closer to Putin's Russia.

Remember folks, being intolerant of Nazis makes you the real Nazi.
Just like being intolerant of racists makes you the real racist, and being intolerant of fascists makes you the real fascist. /s
He himself doesn't represent Republican Party view (and no single person does, really); he, however, supports Republican party view. And he shows that by being registered Republican in Democrat-majority district. He cannot be forced to run as independent, if i understand it correctly.
If this "communist" votes Far Right candidates and joins far right demonstrations/activism while privately saying "Actually, we should expropriate all property from capitalist pigs and give it to deserving masses! Those far right guys are right in methods, just wrong on targets!" ?Should a far right party accept a communist candidate?
Citation needed. Especially because they're seemingly campaigning against him. Also "Local RNC" is pretty hilarious. What's that N stand for? The "local RNC" didn't have the authority to appoint a candidate in their bylaws.
Look, I'm pretty anti-gop, but this is illinois. A literal former member of the american nazi party is not the candidate the majority of illinois GOP members would want. I expect most of them to either not vote in that race or vote (d) for the first time in their lives (or vote along party line and not even know who that dude is).

Because parties have bylaws that they adhere to so they at least can say they follow their own regulations. The ones that say "anyone can register" and "the vote winner in the primary gets the nomination" are fairly important ones.
Only in the sense that they hold primaries. He ran uncontested for a seat no GOP member with any ambition would run for because the GOP isn't going to win. Why bother going through the effort when the nazi isn't going to win the seat anyway, and they get to denounce nazis, which further distances the illinois gop from trump, by doing something he apparently was unwilling to do? The whole thing is largely a push.
