The former U.S. Senate candidate and neo-Nazi from Kentucky who ran in 2014 under the slogan “With Jews We Lose” was arrested on Monday at a Martin Luther King, Jr., Day event in Florence, Ky.

The Southern Poverty Law Center reported the arrest on Thursday and noted that Robert Ransdell was carrying a sign that read “Happy Machin’ Lootin’ Killin’ Day” before he was arrested by police. Ransdell was charged with trespassing in a government building, according to the SPLC’s “Hatewatch” blog.

Ransdell told the neo-Nazi website, The Daily Stormer, that he felt “depressed at the fact that I was arrested” and lamented that he was put into custody by “agents of the Jew-Negro Occupation government.”

Ransdell was eventually released and said he had to walk more than 10 miles to his car. Along the way, he said, he stayed true to his protest. He told The Daily Stormer he held his sign for the duration of his walk in defiance of “this rotten, phony, hypocritical, Jew-controlled, non-White infested shithole of a country.”

In addition to facing a $250 fine, Ransdell told the website, he has a court appearance scheduled for Feb. 3.

While Ransdell was admittedly dejected by this, his first arrest, he seemed to take solace in the fact that Holocaust Remembrance Day was approaching.

“We have hoax remembrance day coming very soon,” Ransdell said, “so there will not be long to wait.”
