A pro-Trump politician has compared himself to JFK. And Jesus. And Hitler.

In February 2018, ‘alt-right’ US politician Paul Nehlen was suspended from Twitter and denounced by the Republican Party. He’s since posted an image which makes clear that his politics are confused and overtly antisemitic.

(note: the image is a series of portraits...Andrew Jackson, JFK, Jesus, Hitler, and Nehlen himself, with the words "THEY FOUGHT THE BANKERS" superimposed at the top in white letters"

As Nehlen’s antisemitism and extreme views have been clear for some time, it’s hard to see why it took so long for his party to abandon him.
A dubious career
Much like Trump, Nehlen is a businessman who has never held public office. He ran against Paul Ryan, the Republican and 54th Speaker of the US House of Representatives, in the 2016 congressional primaries. Nehlen only received 16% of the vote, but he did garner support from Breitbart – the outlet that was formerly run by Steve Bannon. He also received Donald Trump’s ‘appreciation’. Nehlen is planning to run against Ryan again in 2018.

1. Recommended.

JFK, Jesus, and Hitler?

Here in Illinois, the only GOP candidate for the 3rd Congressional District is Arthur Jones, an actual Nazi who marched in a Nazi uniform.

2. Probably compared himself to the JFK, Jesus, and Hitler he met at the mental hospital. nt

4. ...All of whom were his roommate, probably...

I keep wanting to hear him end a speech by vowing "There WILL be casinos on the moon!".

3. People have missions in life.

His is to make us realize just how lucky we are to have Paul Ryan sticking it to us.
