HeadlineOct 11, 2010

The congressional race in northwest Ohio took a surprising turn this weekend when photos emerged showing Republican candidate Rich Iott wearing a Nazi uniform and participating in Nazi reenactments. Iott is a Tea Party favorite who is challenging incumbent Marcy Kaptur. Iott told The Atlantic magazine that he was involved with a group of Nazi reenacters over a number of years, but said his interest in Nazi Germany was historical and that he has dressed up for other military reenactments as well.
