Robert Ransdell, ROT IN HELL!

He tried so hard to be relevant. Really hard. But when Montel Williams doesn’t give you airtime after flying you out to be on his show and you get called “a walking cliché,” by your own people, it means you are a caricature and nothing you do will be taken seriously.
Unconfirmed reports on White Supremacist blogs and twitter feeds have been announcing since Monday that Robert Ransdell, the National Alliance member whose only claim to fame was pulling stunts such as running for the Senate in Kentucky with the slogan “With Jews We Lose”, lost his life reportedly in a car accident by a drunk driver.

Ransdell was a onetime regional coordinator for the neo-Nazi National Alliance (NA) in Cincinnati, Ohio, and one of the more prominent neo-Nazis there.  A resident of the Cincinnati suburb Florence, KY, Ransdell ran as a write-in candidate for the Senate seat of Mitch McConnell in 2014, but only received 53 votes.  Despite his provocative campaign slogan, Ransdell said he never had any bad experiences with Jewish people until after be became a neo-Nazi. “I had no negative interactions with Jews before becoming aware of the role organized Jewry has had in the decline of America and the Western world,” he told the Forward in 2014. “(A)lso their role historically in so many destructive events and programs through history, specifically the last 120 years, although it goes back much further than that. These days my interactions with Jews are pretty negative seeing as I am one of the few who speak out publicly against Jewish supremacy in America and the world today.”

In 2008, he was slated to appear on the Montel Williams Show alongside One People’s Project founder Daryle Lamont Jenkins, but although he was flown to New York from Cincinnati for the appearance, Williams decided while taping the show that it served no purpose to bring him on. Indeed, others within his circles had a negative view of Ransdell, most notably Paul Ramsey, who excoriated him in a video on his RamZPaul YouTube channel titled “With Clowns We Go Down”.

Ransdell gained media attention over the past 12 years by staging protests, often by himself at various locations attacking Jews and people of color. He was arrested in 2015 and charged with trespassing during a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day observance in Florence. That infuriated National Alliance chairman Will Williams who ranted against Ransdell on the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer.  “He’s a self-centered grandstander who now finds himself a defendant in a minor criminal matter,” Williams said. “That’s what he wanted. He’ll milk the situation for all it’s worth but it will ultimately gain nothing for the cause.” Charges were later dismissed.

Ransdell’s last post on Stormfront.org, dated March 8, was him complaining about recent commercials featuring interracial families as “destructive propaganda” created by what he theorized were “10 to 15 Jews, non-Whites, homos, etc.” No further information is available about the accident that reportedly led to his death.
