Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity went after House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) Thursday, suggesting “we may need a new speaker” after the Wisconsin Republican announced that he was not yet ready to back presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.
“I’m not ready to support Speaker Ryan anymore,” Hannity said at the outset of his show. “I’m thinking we may need a new speaker.”
A spokesperson for Ryan was not immediately available for comment to TheBlaze.
Earlier in the evening, Hannity went after Ryan in a string of tweets, saying it was “pathetic” to not get behind the presumptive nominee.

I guess the next time a Candidate has to sign a loyalty pledge he or she should do so only if the Party elite sign the same pledge. Then again if they are not going to follow the wishes of Republican voters who needs them?
I find it funny that Bush1 and Bush2 won't endorse Donald Trump. In the former case the guy reneged on his no new taxes promise and voters kicked him out of office. In the latter case the guy squeezed out narrow victories against horrible Democratic candidates. Neither one is a GOP heavyweight by any sense of the imagination. I really think this is more snobbery on their part. Their family was born to rule and Donald Trump is just a guy from Queens who doesn't deserve to be President in their minds.
Note to the Bushes you were no help against 8 years of President Obama what makes you think we need your help now?
Oh yes, I forgot about her. She’s great.
You can take your cruzer accusations and stick it.
The troubles with Hannity around here started years ago, long before cruz was even in the senate, long before Donnie decided to run, maybe long before you came of age. Are we expected to believe he all of a sudden in a couple of days got intelligent? Don’t think so.
Simple Definition of laconic: using few words in speech or writing.
thanks :)
Well alright, Sean. Maybe you’re finally getting over your love affair with the GOP establishment.
Good luck on getting a response from Mark. I don’t think he’s posted here in ages.
Ryan is such a nasty little prissy boy.
The only time he ever sounds happy is when he’s talking about working with democrats and his good friend Luis Gutierrez.
Trump is your nominee.
And what about McConnell? Are we sure he is not a German, at your throat or at your feet?
Good grief! Listen to what the man said. What lots and and lots of people also believe. I hope that Trump does not think he can bully his way through without creating enemies who will stab him in the back as soon as things get bad. It happened to Lyndon Johnson who was a more experienced Politician than Trump.
Hannity gets a beating at times due to the fact at times he seems to deserve it. That being said, he deserves a big pat on the back at this time and a big, hearty, THANK YOU. This is the Hannity first remembered during the beginning....the Clinton/Monica affair and SH first step into the Fox News Room w/buddy Allen Colmes.
You seem to forget that Trump did not start anything, he only out-bullied the bullies. Not one of these fights started with Trump.
Paul Ryan, leave the party. Get out. At this point if you are not with us, you are against us. Get out!!!
I have as well, and have sometimes taken a slight beating for it. Not sure why... He's one of the good guys.
For me he was sounding like a broken record, before the election that is. But his internal compass of right and wrong served him well in a difficult primary process. He was fair and he stuck by correct, correct being stick with what is right. He is doing real well now.
You mean he quickly found out that he could be as crass as he wished. I know a bull when I see one. I was in Austin when Lyndon became king of the Universe. Not when King Cole fell, A friend write me that it was as if Someone had let the air out of a balloon to see him those last months.
The Party will not be Trump’s until he wins the election. Right now the odds are against him.
Me too. People were always saying Hannity wasn’t smart enough. Well, look at the other “geniuses” out there like Rush and Levin etc. All bought, selfish, helping the forces that hurt our nation (cheap labor express). Hannity was the only one who put himself out there supporting the troops and patriotism, and when they all kowtowed to their bosses on certain topics, Hannity ALWAYS let things slip. (He is the only one who let on that they were all being forced and some even threatened not to talk about Obama’s citizenship, for instance.) He was a hockey player (they are pretty much all wonderful, lol) and just a tough fighter and I’m glad he’s been true to the Constitution and his listeners/audience. He doesn’t lie to us.
And he is the only one who has been fair this election. Except the one I never hear but need to, Laura Ingraham, I hear.
Put some Butt Hurt Cream on it.
It will ease your pain.
