Ryan faces heat back home in Wisconsin

The pride of Wisconsin got an earful back home.

House Speaker Paul Ryan remains undeniably popular in his home state. He routed a Donald Trump-inspired primary challenger last year to win reelection. Yet the shortcomings of an all-Republican Washington this year has met disapproval from voters across the political spectrum, and it was all too evident at a nationally televised town hall here on Monday night.

“I had high hopes since you're the speaker and my congressional representative. How have you not been successful up until this point as a leader to get this done like you promised?” asked Kevin Matthewson of Kenosha, pressing Ryan on why Republicans haven’t passed an Obamacare repeal bill despite unified-party control.

Others at the CNN town hall were even more pointed when they weren't on camera.

I’m all for primarying the bastards but turning the house over to the Dems is a step to far. You go ahead and justify your Democrat vote however you want but in the end it is still a Democrat vote which they will gladly accept.

I think tonight would be a good time to call out congress. He has nothing to lose. Ask every congress person who took money from known nazi collaborator Soros to publicly denounce him and to return the dirty money. He should also publcly remind the country who the founders of the kkk were and who erected the confederate statues and ask for an answer as to why the removal of the statues was not an issue during obama’s 8 year term. Or Bill Clinton’s for that matter if it was so offensive.
