what it was like for the men that participated in that. >> and i think as part of this historic dialogue we also have to remember you're running for ninth congressional seat here and eric cantor republican whip came out yesterday morning and essentially he said -- i'm going to quote him -- i would absolutely repudiate that and do not support an individual that would do something like that referencing you dressing up in ss uniform. goes on, you know good and well i don't support anything like that. so mr. iott, my question is can you understand how some voters out there may have a little bit of a problem with a candidate who dresses up as a nazi and takes photographs of it and seems to enjoy doing so? >> well, i think that representative cantor did what so many career politicians do, is he reacted before he had all-the facts. he didn't know the whole story. he didn't understand what historical reenacting is all about or the education side of it and he just made a decision without all the facts.
