Wisconsin GOP Kicks Out Paul Ryan’s Challenger From Trump Rally
Daily Caller ^ | August 6, 2016 | Scott Greer

Posted on 08/06/2016 9:21:29 AM PDT by Pinkbell

Paul Nehlen, House Speaker Paul Ryan’s Republican primary challenger, was ejected by Wisconsin GOP staffers from a Donald Trump rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin Friday night.

Nehlen was able to enter the premises of the rally before being urged to leave by individuals affiliated with the state party organization, according to his campaign. A Nehlen spokesman told The Daily Caller the Trump campaign had reached out and invited the congressional candidate to attend the rally earlier Friday.

Trump went on to endorse Speaker Ryan at the rally, as well as Arizona Sen. John McCain and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte in their respective primaries. The move is seen as a reversal from Trump’s comments Tuesday in which he praised Nehlen and refused to endorse Ryan in the Wisconsin congressional primary.

PAUL NEHLEN'S STATEMENT:

Today I was extended an invitation by the Donald Trump campaign to join his team in the VIP room prior to Mr. Trump’s rally. I accepted the campaign’s invitation and drove to Green Bay.

Just like any member of the public invited to the Trump rally, I also had a ticket I registered for online which granted me access to the rally.

I was happy to attend the rally, even in the face of reports that Mr. Trump would endorse Speaker Ryan, because I believe Mr. Trump understands that we must have all hands on deck in order to roll back 8 years of Barack Obama and prevent Hillary from continuing his legacy.

Sadly, it quickly became apparent that Speaker Ryan and the Wisconsin GOP are not the least bit interested in party unity, or, it seems, defeating Hillary Clinton, but rather, are focused on maintaining their iron-grip on power for power’s sake.

To that point, Speaker Ryan and Wisconsin GOP leaders loudly refused to attend Mr. Trump’s rally!

Upon arriving at the rally, my team and I were intercepted by a phalanx of Wisconsin GOP staffers working on behalf of Speaker Ryan and Reince Priebus.

I made it through security when one of the GOP phalanx wearing loafers and a blazer chased me down and informed the police that I was not allowed into the rally.

The GOP staffer then escorted me back outside the security perimeter to the lobby, where another Republican staffer told me and the officers I was to wait for one of their fellow GOP staffers to come and tell me what was going on.

It quickly became clear they were never going to send another staffer to tell me what was going on.

The obvious reality was that they just didn’t want Speaker Ryan’s challenger to be seen in the building supporting Mr. Trump.

I was then told by the staffers that I was going to have to exit the building.

My takeaway from this experience was this: The Wisconsin GOP is petrified.

They are petrified that 83 percent of the vote in the presidential primary went to the two outsider candidates. They’re petrified that the people in Wisconsin have had enough of their corruption and cronyism – of the GOP selling Wisconsin’s future across the Pacific.

Paul Ryan and his Wisconsin GOP henchmen don’t want the good people of Wisconsin to know they have a choice in the primary in Wisconsin’s first Congressional District, and they will do anything to hold onto their levers of power so they can continue to enrich themselves and their donor-class friends by shipping Wisconsin’s jobs overseas and inviting a constant stream of low-paid labor across the border.

That event did not help out Ryan’s cause. And Ryan claims that Trump makes gaffes? There is no way he can put lipstick on that hog. Add that to his flight from the voters last Saturday.

So corrupt. The GOP elite are trying to keep Paul in power. Shows you how valuable he is to Obama/and the globalists. Trump had to play nice or he would have a war on two fronts.

Just keep focus and vote the Rinos out.

Paul Ryan sent me a "GOP" letter asking me to write him a personal check for $10,400.

WHAT?!

I didn't write back because I would've been too nasty. I will still vote for him but he ain't gettin' a red cent from me.

I hope the people of Wisconsin will see through everything and vote out Ryan. I think we all know that Trump would prefer Nehlen to Ryan.

The corrupt VAGOP tried to save the weasel Eric Cantor.
It did not work out like they thought.
I am hopeful that the spirit of liberty still lingers in the hearts of the voters of Wisconsin 1 despite their state party being part of the Cheap Labor Express.

Why would you vote for Ryan when you know he will betray you?

So what’s the latest on that senile old coot, Thad Cochran?

Somebody on his staff casting his votes while he dribbles into his drool cup?

Hope he’s enjoying Green Jello Thursdays.
