Steve Bannon Reportedly Attacked Paul Ryan As ‘A Limp-expletive expletive’
The Huffington Post ^ | July 18, 2017 | Marina Fang

Steve Bannon reportedly called House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) “a limp-dick mother****** who was born in a petri dish at the Heritage Foundation,” referring to the think tank whose fiscal conservative policies the representative espouses.

The detail is one of many bizarre nuggets in Devil’s Bargain, a new book on White House chief strategist Bannon’s role in President Donald Trump’s political rise, by Bloomberg Businessweek reporter Joshua Green, who has extensively covered the former Breitbart chairman.

Green wrote that Bannon’s comment on Ryan came during the spring of 2016, when it became increasingly possible that Trump would become the GOP presidential nominee, to the surprise and concern of establishment Republicans. Some of them had floated Ryan as a possible alternative if the party’s convention were to become contested.....

McConnell and Ryan have to go. Either they go or the voters go. Your choice, GOP.

I’ll see Steve at the White House in two weeks.

I've listened to a lot of people bitch about Steve Bannon, but I have yet to hear him say anything that I had a problem with.

I’ll tell him Ru Paul isn’t a limp-dick, cuz he has no dick.

That seems to be a problem with much of our House and Senate representation. Paul Ryan isn't the only one that needs to go.

You cannot say that Bannon described Paull Ryan inaccurately. Ryan is a “limp-dick mother******”.

Because they way that one deals with leaks and anonymous sources is to ignore the trap, change the subject, and get on with the agenda

Interesting. So Bannon let’s the false statement go unchallenged. In that case, he might as well have said it. The assumption by most will be that he did, since he didn’t correct the record.

If it’s fake, Bannon should say so. Why let liars put words in your mouth?

That comment alone will let me ignore at least 12 of the rumors/concerns some have about Bannon.....

The problem with Ryan is that HE IS SPEAKER. We have a number of do nothing RINO’s in the House, but for one of them to be speaker is an outrage and an insult to the voters who elected the majorities under the “party” promises of repeal and replace.

No

Kicking butt on the agenda is the best response
