GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Donald Trump's campaign said Friday it barred House Speaker Paul Ryan's primary challenger Paul Nehlen from entering the candidate's Wisconsin rally because the candidate didn't show a ticket, refuting Nehlen's charges that the Wisconsin Republican Party was working to keep him away.

Nehlen tried to attend the rally as a spectator, but told reporters after a Saturday-afternoon rally in Kenosha, that he was barred entry by the state party in an attempt to keep him out of the public eye.
"The Wisconsin GOP is doing everything they can to keep my name out of anywhere. They don't want their own constituents to know that, that there's an option out there. They want Speaker Ryan to be the only game in town. That's how the Wisconsin machine works," Nehlen told NBC News in an interview.
But a Wisconsin GOP staffer pushed back Nehlen's comments, telling NBC News that the Wisconsin GOP staff at the rally were acting as volunteers, and only the Trump campaign had the discretion to decide who to bar from entering the rally. And Trump Campaign Communications Director Jason Miller said that it was the campaign's decision to turn Nehlen away from the Green Bay rally.
"A Trump campaign representative was the person who turned away Mr. Nehlen, because he didn't have a ticket for the event. I'm looking into the matter further. Our events are always open to the public if you're a ticketed attendee," Miller said in an interview.
In response, the Nehlen campaign produced copies of two tickets to the Green Bay rally they say they tried to use to get in to the event. Asked about the tickets, the Trump campaign reiterated that no ticket was presented at the door, without clearing up the discrepancy between the two.

All involved need to deal with it privately.
Ryan is going to win the primary and win big. Trump’s endorsement and this blocking of Nehlen from attending is not going to make a difference, either during the primary or afterwords because Ryan is not and never will by an ally for the Trump administration.
Drama created by the media. We have a nation to save, and Nobody But Clinton “news” is cranking out garbage like this in order to distract.
Don’t fall for it.
In 100 years NOBODY will care who made the decision to keep Nehlen out of a 65 minute rally. LOTS of people will care who we allowed to occupy the Oval Office.
Stick to the issues.
It’s good for Nehlen’s campaign.
Ignore the story. The issue will resolve on its own.
Jason Miller from the Trump campaign said the campaign did it.
I hope he didn’t, but it doesn’t surprise me that Ryan would have operatives inside Trump’s campaign. Trump SHOULD fire whomever it was who blocked Paul N. from the event.
The infiltration and control of America by the communist psychotic satanists is almost completed. They (corporations/bankers) have almost total control of our government offices, information systems, our banks, our incomes, our health “care”, “education”, Congress,
Who knows if the psychopaths control Trump now or not......we live in extremely dangerous, evil times and Truth (God) has been literally banned for over 100 years now. With the internet, we have just a little window of time before total fascism if we do not take back this country from the satanic cartel (illuminati/Rothschilds, etc). Secret Societies have to outlawed-—any system of “belief” that endorses subversion, lying and killing and cheating. But alas, we have a Vice System put in place by Pres. Wilson and the CFR.

Who is Paul Nehlen? What is he?
It kind of sickens me that Trump rolled over and endorsed Ryan. On the other hand, Ryan (finally) endorsed him, so not returning the favor would have looked petty. It really a no win situation.
You must have a ticket to get in. Rules are rules.
Of course no one will care in 100 years who kept Nehlen out of the rally, but people may care in 100 years who the Speaker of the House was. The bottom line is that it wasn’t right. First he endorses Ryan over pro-Trump Nehlen, and while even Nehlen could understand why, his campaign then throws Nehlen, the person who has defended him for months, out of his rally? I have a problem with that because Trump touts loyalty to his friends, and this was wrong. I also have a problem with it because we would be better off it Ryan was booted and replaced with Nehlen. Now I’m not necessarily blaming Trump. Trump might not have known what happened, but his campaign should not have thrown Nehlen out.
I believe Nehlen on this one.
He had two tickets to get in. He showed them to NBC News.
Oh my! Oh my! To all quarters! Drama! NBC right on it!
Looks to me that Nehlen is a total fraud. He is not what he pretends to be.
Better to have the devil we know?
A ham sandwich would be better then that douche currently from WI-01 pretending to be SOTHOR.
Just pinging everyone who posted on the thread about the GOP keeping Nehlen out of Trump’s rally for an update.
I believe Nehlen.
