Indiana GOP candidate's posting condemned by party leaders

MUNSTER, Ind. (AP) — Republican officials have denounced a Facebook posting by one of the party’s Indiana congressional candidates about white supremacy.

The posting on candidate Mark Leyva’s Facebook page has a photo of a white woman wearing sunglasses with the phrase: “Know the warning signs of white supremacy.” The post says those include full time-employment, literacy and no criminal record.

Leyva is a longshot candidate in northwestern Indiana’s heavily Democratic 1st District against Democratic nominee Frank Mrvan. Leyva has been the losing Republican challenger several times to retiring Democratic Rep. Pete Visclosky.

Leyva declined to respond when asked whether the posting was appropriate for a congressional candidate, The (Northwest Indiana) Times reported.

how many times now and he's never come close. There is no possible way that he'll win this time, either. A republican rep in Lake County? That has never happened in my lifetime, or for almost a hundred years. It won't happen this time, either.
