Meet the Dude Challenging Paul Ryan… to an Arm Wrestle

Posted on
May 11, 2016
by Andrew Cullen
Some in the GOP establishment may still be praying that Paul Ryan will ride into the Republican convention on a white horse and save the party – but in the meantime there is someone trying to ride in on a black motorcycle and be one big buzzkill for Ryan’s political future.

Meet Paul Nehlen – the motorcycle riding, tatted-up, gun nut looking to unseat the most powerful Republican in the country.

Paul Nehlen Says Paul Ryan is Cruisin’ for A Bruisin’

The beginning of this ad is reminiscent of a home video sequel to Easy Rider with Nehan and his old lady cruising down Wisconsin’s backcountry farm roads, burning rubber on the black top.

The music crescendos into a 70s-style jam rock as we hear Nehlen testify, “This bike was built in Wisconsin… We build some of the baddest bikes on the planet.”

The camera pans over empty factories and desolate lots as Nehlen says, “Before Paul Ryan went to Washington, Wisconsin was a manufacturing powerhouse. Now? Not so much.”

Nehlen pulls up to the outside of a manufacturing plant as the camera zooms on in his old lady squeezing his bicep. Emblazoned on his arm, is a tattoo of a tattered American Flag and the dented helmet of King Leonidas, complete with his famous quote “Molon Labe,” classical Greek for “Come and take them.” In modern times the slogan has been adopted by gun rights advocates – and some white supremacists.

Then we see Nehlen inside the plant – magically wearing a suit all of a sudden – where he lays out his real challenge.

“Mr. Speaker… Why don’t you come back to Wisconsin and debate me, man-to-man, face-to-face,” he says. “And if you don’t want to debate me – maybe we can arm wrestle.”

Challenging the Speaker of the House

This guy definitely has guts to challenge Paul Ryan to an arm wrestle. Have you seen Ryan’s guns? On top of being the most powerful Republican on Capitol Hill, Paul Ryan keeps a monster workout of Crossfit, P90X, yoga and cardio. Not to mention he’s practically the founding father of the House Of Reps:

And with a workout routine like that – and a 76% approval rating in his party – Nehlen has about as much of a chance beating Ryan at a barroom game of strength as he does at the ballot box.
