HuffPost asked Paul Nehlen three times by email this week if he considers himself a white nationalist. The Wisconsin Republican is running to replace House Speaker Paul Ryan, who might not be seeking re-election. GabHuffPost emailed Nehlen on Wednesday detailing some of these — and other — flirtations he’s made with being an avowed white nationalist. Bannon did not respond to a request for comment on Nehlen’s white nationalist sentiments. On the one hand, Nehlen used a stereotypically black name to refer to an African-American man whose name he clearly knew.
