Shock charge: Paul Ryan standing with 'Antifa'Primary challenger Paul Nehlen on how
GOP establishment is betraying grassrootsA challenger to Paul Ryan in the Republican primary contends the speaker is betraying the GOP grassroots by failing to forcefully condemn “Antifa.”
Ryan recently criticized the president by proclaiming “there are no sides” when it comes to the recent violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Businessman Paul Nehlen said Ryan could not bring himself to criticize the militant leftists known as “Antifa” who had instigated the violence in Charlottesville.
“
Paul Ryan is a coward,” said Nehlen, author of the new book “Wage The Battle.” “What he is doing is
working to further divide the country so that he can keep his hands on the levers of power. People aren’t buying what Ryan is selling in terms of this fake narrative that there is only one side to the violence.”
Nehlen argues the populist wave in American politics has yet to crest and, as shown by the rise of both Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders, is deeply affecting both parties. Whichever party can capitalize on these sentiments, he believes, will succeed.
However, instead of appealing to populist sentiments on issues such as trade and immigration,
the GOP leadership has attempted to crush the grassroots of its own party, even if it means siding with militant leftists against Trump, Nehlen said.
“
The establishment on both sides of the aisle are scared to death of the populist supporters of President Trump and Bernie Sanders,” he said. “What the liberal media and the establishment Republicans were attempting to do to economic nationalists was s
mear and tarnish them with labels such as racist and supremacist, when in fact the group has simply rejected the failed globalist orthodoxy. And now, in order to keep their hands on the levers of power, the so-called GOP leadership has made the craven and calculated decision to stand with Antifa against the populist uprising in this country.”
Indeed, Antifa attacked Trump supporters attending the president’s Tuesday night rally in Phoenix. Police were forced to use tear gas after protesters threw projectiles at law enforcement.
Video footage also showed Antifa attacking Trump supporters attempting to leave the venue in a pickup truck. Reuters drew criticism by describing the violent protesters as “peace activists.”
Nehlen said the
Republican grassroots must no longer tolerate leaders who spend more time fighting their own party instead of the enemy. And among the most dangerous enemies, Nehlen said, is Antifa.
“We are waking up,” Nehlen said of grassroots conservatives. “And it is imperative that we, as the voice of true conservative values,
don’t back down one inch on exposing the PC Marxists in our midst for what they are.”
