On Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily, SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam asked guest Frank Gaffney about a post he wrote on the Center for Security Policy blog, in which he endorsed a call by Jeanine Pirro of Fox News for House Speaker Paul Ryan to resign following the failure of the House Obamacare replacement bill.
As he wrote in the post, Gaffney stipulated that “health care is not my field, by any means,” so he did not mean to criticize the substance of the ill-fated House bill.
“I think what is of concern is that this was a doomed approach,” he said.
“Paul Ryan, who is supposed to be helping President Trump get through his agenda in the House of Representatives and the congress more generally, should have known better.
He either didn’t, which justifies removal on the grounds of incompetence,
or did – in which case I think the argument is that he’s simply not a reliable partner for the president in getting this agenda done.”

Admin Mod, title shortened to fit character limit: “Frank Gaffney: Ryan Should Resign as Speaker Because ‘He’s Simply Not a Reliable Partner for the President’”
Gaffney doesn’t make many gaffs. One of the most honest and brilliant commentators today.
Frank Gaffney is a neo-con globalist hack, so as far as I’m concerned this statement of his is actually a ringing endorsement of Ryan.
Paul Ryan is an open borders globalist who will do whatever it takes to blunt Trump’s agenda.
If the Republicans wanted to get things done, they would make sure the Speaker and the President has similar goals.
Instead, the Republicans voted for Paul Ryan as Speaker. Therefore, they do not want to get anything done. QED.
RINO RYAN said early on in the campaign that he wouldn’t support Trump, and it isn’t any different now that he is President Trump, but it’s up to the House to remove him...
Republicans strike me as simply being "my turn" people, and it's more a matter of simple inertia. Ryan had the job, and kept the job. Same with McConnell and McCarthy.
Only death opens up seats, unless one really, seriously, fouls up (like John Boehner, who openly retaliated against his own party members).

Ryan is at best a fair weather ally. He is an impediment. Unfortunately if Trump moves against him the party will rally around Ryan. The first thing would be McConell coming out against the nuke option. Then they will remove Nunes as chairman. Uniparty can basically cripple Trump and they know it.
Just wondering.
No.
However, if from the same party, the idea is that they gain a lot by working together.
Gaffney’s right. This man wants an increase in Syrian refugees!
Ryan, should get out! New pre-Constitution speaker needed, now!
The argument that seems to be current in some quarters is: "Trump didn't get what he wanted, so it's someone else's fault. Let's shoot the nearest target of opportunity." If that's the way Team Trump wants to play, it's going to be a long four years.
I’m fairly certain Trump wants a market based plan that also funds the poor. Whst they had was not that. I’m sure it was either.
Trump trusted his people to deliver and they didn’t.
Yes, Ryan should be removed. Already the GOP-e has decided not to fund the wall. Ryan is in the thick of it, dismantling the presidents agenda.
FR is really confusing today:
Frank Gaffney is a neo-con globalist hack, so as far as I’m concerned this statement of his is actually a ringing endorsement of Ryan.
