The leading Republican running for Paul Ryan's seat is a white nationalist

The leading Republican running for Paul Ryan's seat is a white nationalist
By Carter Sherman Apr 11, 2018

A white nationalist is now the frontrunner in the GOP primary in Paul Ryan's district.

Longshot candidate and self-described “pro-white” politician Paul Nehlen is now the leading Republican to take over Ryan’s Wisconsin seat now that Ryan, the current Speaker of the House, is not running for reelection.

Nehlen incited international outrage in February, when he tweeted a photo of Prince Harry’s fiancée Meghan Markle with an image of a dark-skinned, prehistoric human known as “Cheddar Man.” (Markle’s mother is black.) Alongside the image, Nehlen tweeted, “Honey, does this tie make my face look pale?”

Is that the same site, vice, that has the HBO show that Maher is a producer on?

I dont like them. AT all.

But I know the story is accurate as I have seen it elsewhere.
