Probably Jim Traficant? Same bombastic lunatic personality, same inscrutable politics only really grounded in antisemitism.

Historically, American politics tended to be more inelastic and as such was less prone to extremism outside of social issues compared to Europe. So there have been less demagogues  who made it far politically although that has changed in recent years. But I'd say that Jimmy Dore would be a contender.

Except he's just as militant (or at least the SWP is) about Israel as Galloway is about Palestine
