Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) primary challenger Paul Nehlen defended himself on Twitter on Sunday after tweeting a controversial racial meme.
Nehlen on Saturday tweeted an illustration showing three Christian crosses with signs reading "No it's not," "It's okay to be white," "No it's not." The cross in the middle represents Jesus Christ.

The meme originated on the messaging board known as 4chan, a forum known in part as a space where neo-Nazis users converse.
Nehlen swiftly faced backlash from critics on Twitter.
