GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Donald Trump's campaign said Friday it barred House Speaker Paul Ryan's primary challenger Paul Nehlen from entering the candidate's Wisconsin rally because the candidate didn't show a ticket, refuting Nehlen's charges that the Wisconsin Republican Party was working to keep him away.

Nehlen tried to attend the rally as a spectator, but told reporters after a Saturday-afternoon rally in Kenosha, that he was barred entry by the state party in an attempt to keep him out of the public eye.
"The Wisconsin GOP is doing everything they can to keep my name out of anywhere. They don't want their own constituents to know that, that there's an option out there. They want Speaker Ryan to be the only game in town. That's how the Wisconsin machine works," Nehlen told NBC News in an interview.
But a Wisconsin GOP staffer pushed back Nehlen's comments, telling NBC News that the Wisconsin GOP staff at the rally were acting as volunteers, and only the Trump campaign had the discretion to decide who to bar from entering the rally. And Trump Campaign Communications Director Jason Miller said that it was the campaign's decision to turn Nehlen away from the Green Bay rally.
"A Trump campaign representative was the person who turned away Mr. Nehlen, because he didn't have a ticket for the event. I'm looking into the matter further. Our events are always open to the public if you're a ticketed attendee," Miller said in an interview.
In response, the Nehlen campaign produced copies of two tickets to the Green Bay rally they say they tried to use to get in to the event. Asked about the tickets, the Trump campaign reiterated that no ticket was presented at the door, without clearing up the discrepancy between the two.

I’m skeptical of this claim as there are lots of people wanting to undermine Trump and throwing all kinds of accusations around.
Where’s my pearls?!?!?! OMG! OMG!
I hate those mother ######ers. nbc, cBS, cnn, abc...all sons of ######s.
I didn’t know anybody still paid attention to them.
I haven’t watched tv news going on a year and a half now.
I KNOW that ALL of my nephews would die laughing if you told them to watch a network for news.
They are in their 20s and if it ain’t on social media, it ain’t news.
That’s good for us because it levels the playing field.
Try it and see if it isn't as helpful as I say....
If Y'All are really concerned about stopping Hillary, you would be more useful effective by investing of yourselves instead of trying to turn a rabbit pellet into an elephant dropping.
Tokyo Rose is long dead but her memories live on.....
Have you got a link to the Daily Caller story regarding this?
:( So disappointing.
Thank you for pinging me.
In 100 years NOBODY will care who made the decision to keep Nehlen out of a 65 minute rally.
&&&
Well, I care right now. It matters. It is making me ask if Trump is really committed to stopping the corrupt relationships in DC. I will still vote for him, but I am very concerned about this.
Well said.
He now owes Trump for this AND the endorsement.
Did you bother to read the link in post 10 that I replied to? It’s exactly what I base my statement on.
Thanks to OldCountryBoy for posting. People don’t know anything about this guy.
Shady
I don't believe Trump's people tossed Nehlen out; The way it probably went down was as originally told -- Ryan's GOPe thugs tossed him out. But realizing it would look bad, asked Trump's peeps to punctuate it. Nehlen gets it. WIN-WIN for Nehlen IMO.
And when pressed Nehlen’s spokesperson admitted that his small business is in fact not a business at all. He’s misrepresenting himself.
I want Ryan to lose but don’t want to set the Dems up for an easy pickup in the Senate. They will destroy someone like Nehlen if this is true.
Look at this thread. Nehlan’s comments. Most encouraging.

Who is Paul Nehlen? What is he?....He is Paul Ryan’s opponent. Good enough for me.
not crashing Trumps ......One guy with tickets couldn’t crash anything except his car.
It is a strange website for what’s supposed to be a business.

On his about page, http://www.paulnehlen.com/about/ it says he worked at SPX Corp and TydenBrooks. I doubt SPX Corp would put up with Nehlen lying on his website about having worked there. Pretty big organization. TydenBrooks makes seals and SPX makes engine parts so they are somewhat related fields.
Strange.
Good catch
OK, I did read the link, and yes it is troubling. It would appear Nehlen is a bit of a BS artist.
That being said, I’d still vote for him over Ryan because as a new back-bencher, Nehlen could do nowhere near the damage that Speaker Ryan has done, and will continue to do if re-elected.
Very interesting. Scam artist.
