— DIERSEN HEADLINE: What is your national origin? I am 100% German American. All my ancestors immigrated from what is now Germany to northeast Illinois during the 1840s and 1850s. My grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans during WWI. My uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII. My father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who demonize, denigrate and condemn German Americans. I would focus on those who are German American themselves, but who demonize, denigrate, and condemn German Americans to curry favor with and to pander to those who demonize, denigrate, and condemn German Americans.)

Making outlandish statements doesn’t help Republicans, especially when he only comes to Illinois to raise money.”
