Nehlen says the guy is "pretending to be white."

Wisconsin GOP candidate accuses Jew of ‘pretending’ to be white so he can ‘undermine’ the white race

A conservative candidate who is running to replace House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) attacked a director at a libertarian-oriented group — who happens to be Jewish — on Twitter, saying he is only “pretending to be white” for nefarious reasons.

Far-right candidate Paul Nehlen took offense this week after Foundation for Individual Rights in Education director Ari Cohn tweeted about “Twitter Nazis,” according to a report at The Daily Banter.

In the back and forth, Cohn wrote, “Sometimes Twitter Nazis remind me that I am Jewish. As if my last name would ever let me forget,” later adding, “I am … white,” before pointing out to Nehlen that he was the recipient of anti-Semitic comments from one of Nehlen’s followers.

Nehlen responded by calling Cohn a “bigot,” writing, “Just admit you are a (((bigot))) @aricohn and I’ll pretend you didn’t pretend you were white for the purposes of starting a race war w me.”

“It’s okay to be white,” Nehlen then tweeted. “It’s not okay to pretend to be for purposes of undermining whites. But you knew that.”

Cohn fired right back, tweeting: “You are unhinged. It has nothing to do with the fact that you’re white. It has everything to do with the fact that you’re an asshole. Get a grip, get some help.”

Now he's Tweeting "Free Helicopter Rides to Ryan and Bryce" like the fascists in South America used to use.

Bannon-backed candidate advocates murdering Paul Ryan with a fascist ‘death flight’

An alt-right candidate running a primary challenge against House Speaker Paul Ryan has posted an image on Twitter showing the Republican congressman falling from a helicopter.

The meme posted by Paul Nehlen (R-WI) refers to South American practice of dropping political opponents out of helicopters.

“’Free Helicopter Rides’ refers to extrajudicial killings known as ‘death flights,’ in which military forces throw people from aircraft into large bodies of water. Online, the phrase is often used by members of the alt-right in jokes about executing their political opponents,” Know Your Meme explains.

because they keep re-electing him. But I hope they aren't so stupid that they'd vote for this lunatic.
