I’ve been watching the Paul Nehlen saga from afar, and so I find it no surprise that he’s slowly exposing himself as an alt-right degenerate.
And it’s so bad that even Breitbart News is distancing itself from him.
Some news: Bannon and Breitbart have cut ties with Paul Nehlen. A Bannon advisor told me that the far-right Paul Ryan challenger is "dead to us." His author page has been scrubbed from Breitbart. https://t.co/tmr3wM6bL8

Nehlen, if you remember, tried to ride the Trump wave to defeat Paul Ryan, and then lost by more than a humiliating 60 points.
More from CNN:
Breitbart executive chairman Steve Bannon has cut ties with Paul Nehlen, the far-right activist who is challenging Paul Ryan for his congressional seat and who has received extremely favorable coverage from Breitbart in the past.
“Nehlen is dead to us,” said Arthur Schwartz, an adviser of Bannon’s who is familiar with the former White House chief strategist’s thinking.Nehlen, who became a lightning rod for his anti-immigrant views, has escalated his rhetoric in recent days with a number of incendiary tweets.
In one tweet, Nehlen proudly revealed that he is reading “The Culture of Critique,” a book about Jewish culture widely considered to be anti-semitic. In other tweets, he has used the “#ItsOkayToBeWhite” hashtag.
The inflammatory online activity has drawn fierce scrutiny from Nehlen’s critics, and beckoned the question whether Breitbart, which previously published highly supportive coverage of his candidacy, still supported him.
Now, there’s certainly nothing wrong with being white, but it’s alt-right idiots and white supremacists who have taken up the hashtag.

“The Goyim Know” is also a well known anti-Semitic trope.
