Not only was Paul Nehlen not invited to attend a Wisconsin Republican Party event, he was actually banned.
The election challenger to Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted an email he received from Kim Travis, chairman of the 1st District Republicans.
I'm a team player, a good Republican, but I'm not welcome to a GOP event? Give Kim Travis a call at 262.607.0681 let her know you disagree. pic.twitter.com/p0CZEm1hfg

“Dear Mr. Nehlen,” the Friday email begins.
“Thank you for your interest in the 1st District Fall Fest. Respectfully, we are declining your request to attend the event. We will return your payment. We stand by our policy of being able to decline requests in order to manage and deliver the best experience for all of our guests,” Travis writes.
“I’m a team player, a good Republican, but I’m not welcome to a GOP event?” Nehlen wrote before encouraging supporters to call Travis.
Nehlen says he is “running to the right” of Paul Ryan, and has made work visa reform a centerpiece of his campaign against the Speaker.
