HuffPost asked Paul Nehlen three times by email this week if he considers himself a white nationalist. Twice Nehlen dodged the question. The third time he didnt respond.

The Wisconsin Republican is running to replace House Speaker Paul Ryan, who might not be seeking re-election. Nehlen campaigned in Alabama recently for Roy Moore, the Senate nominee accused of sexual misconduct, who suffered a historic defeat Tuesday. Nehlen claims to have raised six figures for the Moore campaign.

Nehlen was a speaker Monday at Moores campaign rally in Midland City, Alabama. He took the stage wearing the red Make America great again cap and warned the crowd that were engaged in a spiritual battle. Moore was the only one, he said, who could drain that swamp up in D.C.

Only two days earlier, on Dec. 9, Nehlen was a guest on an anti-Semitic white power podcast called Fash the Nation, talking to hosts Jazzhands McFeels and Marcus Halberstram for about an hour. (Fash is shorthand among the so-called alt-right, a loose association of white nationalists, for fascist.)
