“They said you can’t come in here, they brought a detective – I don’t know what it was”, Nehlen said in an interview Saturday, standing outside of his headquarters in Kenosha, as Coulter signed autographs following their joint rally, which drew a modest crowd.

In reality, like the other two Abrahamic faiths, Islam cherishes truthfulness and honesty.
“We’re running separate races”, he continued.
“He doesn’t care about you, he doesn’t care about any of us”.
“I’m suggesting we have a discussion about it”.
Let’s pause to think about this. “I am absolutely suggesting we figure out.”, Nehlen said.
Republican congressional candidate Paul Nehlen urged voters to head to the polls Tuesday to support him in his bid to replace U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Aside from Trump and Coulter, Nehlen has also garnered the support of conservative Phyllis Schlafly and former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.).
Trump then endorsed Speaker Ryan. “Muslim Americans have been fighting on both sides of the war. Paul Ryan is using identity politics to take a shot at Donald Trump every chance he gets, and that’s wrong”.
It’s nothing new for Republicans, in any case. “Speaker Ryan’s globalist agenda stands in clear opposition to the will of the Republican electorate, who want safe communities, immigration control, smart trade deals, and leaders who put the needs of the American people first”, he said.
Muslim bashing burrowed further into the mainstream when in 2015, presidential candidate and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal claimed that American Muslims were planning to establish “no go zones” governed by Islamic law where non-Muslims would be banned from entering.
“The question is, why do we have Muslims in the country?” In response, Carson saw a spike in campaign donations. Coulter ridiculed the idea of allowing Muslims to immigrate to the United States, asking if the country should really accept people “whose religion teaches them that they should kill us”.
Nehlen blames “establishment” state Republican officials for being behind his removal, though the Trump campaign took responsibility in a statement, citing his lack of a ticket. We can’t know because far from drawing widespread derision after his anti-Muslim pronouncement, Trump’s popularity within the GOP skyrocketed and exit polls in various GOP primaries found that nearly two-thirds of Republican voters agreed with his proposal.
But for Ryan to be truly damaged next Tuesday by his conflicts with Trump, at least three things would probably have to be true: that Republican primary voters next Tuesday are a lot more pro-Trump than they were in the April presidential primary, when Trump lost Ryan’s district to Ted Cruz by 19 points; that those primary voters are dramatically more anti-Ryan than most Republicans in Ryan’s district; and that after being very pro-Ryan for years, GOP voters have shifted sharply against the speaker since Marquette’s last poll in early July.

That’s a win for the country, relatively speaking. It has been cultivated over the years, nurtured on a rancid diet of anti-Muslim, anti-American fare served up from the likes of Fox News, Breitbart.com and professional anti-Muslim activists like Frank Gaffney and Pam Geller.
