Paul Nehlen Is Now The Frontrunner In His GOP Primary, Still A White Supremacist

[Initech]

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan announced yesterday that he will not seek re-election in 2018, which, as many observers have pointed out, leaves white supremacist Paul Nehlen as the leading Republican candidate in the race for the time being. Given that the Wisconsin Republican Party has formally disowned Nehlen, it seems unlikely that they won’t find somebody—anybody—to go up against Nehlen. But even if Nehlen can’t clinch the nomination, running for an open seat will give him yet another opportunity to seek a wider audience for his racist ideology.

Nehlen was supported by former White House strategist and Breitbart executive Steve Bannon and other far-right activists like Ann Coulter when he waged his first campaign against Ryan in 2016. However, as Nehlen started to become more transparent about his white supremacist and anti-Semitic views, even far-right figures started to cut their public ties with him.

Bannon publicly disowned Nehlen in late December, after he appeared on an anti-Semitic podcast and shared a stream of white supremacist memes on social media. By February, Nehlen had gone far enough off the deep end—sharing a racist image of royal fiancée Meghan Markle and publishing a list of people he believed to be his Jewish foes in the media— that he was disavowed by Wisconsin’s Republican Party (never mind that the party had willfully ignored the flagrant anti-Semitism that he had displayed for months). Republican officials in Wisconsin called Nehlen a “racist bigot” and told reporters that they didn’t want Nehlen in the state’s GOP.

And as if that wasn’t enough, Nehlen lost even many of his remaining supporters in the racist alt-right movement when he published the private identity of an alt-right troll, leaving him with a support base that now seems to consist solely of violent, neo-Nazi fascists.
