An editor placed former Texas Rep. Ron Paul on the list of American white supremacists - alongside some of the most notorious American neo-Nazis in American history, including American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell and former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Don Black.

The Wikipedia edits were automatically accepted, according to the edit history on Paul's Wikipedia page. Many political figures require verification from another Wikipedia-approved editor to verify the accuracy of the edits.

Paul was added to the list on July 2, seemingly after his Twitter account — which isn't run by him — accidentally tweeted out a Ben Garrison cartoon that was considered racist and anti-Semitic.

"Earlier today a staff member inadvertently posted an offensive cartoon on my social media. I do not make my own social media posts and when I discovered the mistake it was immediately deleted," Paul wrote in a statement on Twitter that day.
