Twitter Bans GOP Contender For Racist Tweet Targeting Meghan Markle : The Two
Paul Nehlen
Twitter has banned  Paul Nehlen   a Republican challenging House Speaker Paul Ryan for a congressional seat  for a racist tweet targeting American actress Meghan Markle  the fiancÃ©e of Prince Harry.
This week  the Natural History Museum in London released images of Cheddar Man  a dark-skinned Mesolithic man believed to be one of the oldest modern humans in Britain.  Nehlen  posted the couple's official engagement photo with Cheddar Man's face superimposed on Markle's  who is biracial.  He  captioned the tweet  "Honey does this tie make my face look pale?"
The tweet is hardly  Nehlen 's first instance of controversy. The politician has made waves for racist and anti-Semitic tweets in the past and proclaimed that "Jews control the media" on former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke's podcast last month.
 Nehlen  "has spent months curating an image of a sometimes ironic  but most certainly sincere  white nationalist willing to say things intended to push populist nationalism into the discourse " writes the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Twitter  which does not normally comment on individual accounts  confirmed to NPR that  Nehlen  was permanently suspended for repeated violations of  its  terms of service.
