A conservative candidate who is running to replace House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) attacked a director at a libertarian-oriented group who happens to be Jewish on Twitter, saying he is only pretending to be white for nefarious reasons.
Far-right candidate Paul Nehlen took offense this week after Foundation for Individual Rights in Education director Ari Cohn tweeted about Twitter Nazis, according to a report at The Daily Banter.
In the back and forth, Cohn wrote, Sometimes Twitter Nazis remind me that I am Jewish. As if my last name would ever let me forget, later adding, I am white, before pointing out to Nehlen that he was the recipient of anti-Semitic comments from one of Nehlens followers.
Nehlen responded by calling Cohn a bigot, writing, Just admit you are a (((bigot))) @aricohn and Ill pretend you didnt pretend you were white for the purposes of starting a race war w me.
Its okay to be white, Nehlen then tweeted. Its not okay to pretend to be for purposes of undermining whites. But you knew that.
Cohn fired right back, tweeting: You are unhinged. It has nothing to do with the fact that youre white. It has everything to do with the fact that youre an asshole. Get a grip, get some help.
Republicans: But why do people call us racist? Look at the very fine people we're nominating for government positions! ---
