Paul Ryan challenger posts phone numbers of critics after claiming '74 are Jews'
MILWAUKEE — A Republican challenger to U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan is giving out the contact information of his critics, singling them out for harassing calls and messages.
Paul Nehlen, who was beaten handily by Ryan, R-Wis., in 2016 and is seeking to challenge him again this year, drew scathing attacks Tuesday by posting to Twitter a list of his critics and saying most of them are Jewish. Trying to capitalize on the attention, Nehlen also mixed in a sales pitch for his campaign merchandise.
Critics called the post anti-Semitic and several people pointed out some on the list Nehlen had identified as "Jews" were not even Jewish.
Nehlen, in turn, has posted the phone numbers, email addresses and names of critics who reached out to his campaign to complain, saying that "putting America first" means "not backing down to people like this."
