Full Title: Former House Speaker Paul Ryan reportedly wants to use his position on Fox's board to 'do something' about Trump
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan thinks his new job as a board member of Fox Corporation will finally allow him to "do something" about President Donald Trump, according to a new report in Vanity Fair.
"Paul is embarrassed about Trump, and now he has the power to do something about it," a Fox executive told Vanity Fair.
Ryan has been openly critical of Trump since leaving Congress. In several on-the-record interviews for the Politico correspondent Tim Alberta's book, "American Carnage," Ryan didn't mince words about Trump, saying he wanted to "scold" Trump "all the time."
Former Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin was the speaker of the House for the first two years of the Trump administration, but he believes it is his new job as a board member of Fox Corporation that will finally allow him to "do something" about President Donald Trump, according to a new report in Vanity Fair.
Ryan, who joined the Fox Corporation board in March, is now said to be one of the most important voices pushing Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch to transition Fox News and pivot away from Trump, according to Vanity Fair.

He s not qualified to serve time in Guantanamo. That prison is for foreign enemy combatants.
Eddie Cuntster better shut his piehole...
Maybe one day we’ll learn the REAL reason Paul Ryan resigned from Congress.
Everyone needs to watch Lou Dobbs. The higher his ratings the more powerful he becomes and Ryan won’t be able to get rid of him!
Go ahead and try Ryan! All you’ll be doing is losing even more viewers for the Faux Network. If One America News (OAN) is the only one left that is TRUELY fair and balanced then we’ll go there.
I can’t believe I had to hold my nose to vote for him and Romney in 2012!
I love Greg Gutfeld, too! :o)
What? He wants to destroy Fox? That won’t do anything about Trump. It’s easier to set up a network now than ever before, and if Fox goes, three more will take its place. Great ideas can’t be suppressed. Stand in their way, and you become roadkill.
It’s easy to see why the Republican controlled Congress did not support Trump.
Good point. When a major corporation hires some jackass like Ryan who doesn’t know the first thing about running a business to serve on its board of directors, it’s a move that is based on what HE can do for THEM, not the other way around.
Same idea behind Burisma hiring Hunter Biden. And he served his purpose — called daddy Joe and got the Ukrainian prosecutor general fired.
Could have been simply Mission Accomplished having thwarted President Trump legislatively for two years and then engineered enough resignations to turn over the House to the RATS to allow them to play impeachment games for two years. Ryan does the bidding of the GOPe as he amply proved lying down for Plugs in their debate while making sure he apologized for the Romney 47% comment. I have no doubt he's got a GOPe mission at Fox.
The larger picture....Once Fox joins forces with the rest of them what is left are NBC,CNN,CBS,MSNBC,ABC,FOX,,NYT,WP, Twitter,Google, Facebook etc serving as a virtual monopoly and censorship of the news. opinions, and the packaging of it to the public.
Add to that the spectre of the CIA and FBI joining forces with the Party to clandestinely investigate( spy) and criminalize its political/philosophical opposition with impunity
What is the model they want to emulate? Red China?
This is a direction that even Trump may not be able to reverse as the enemies of this country are bunkered in like rats, but God bless him for trying.
I hope so. I also know what I'd like to see happen to him but it's not something I can say on an open forum. Let's just say it would be far better if he just did what he said he wanted to do; retire to a quiet life with his family ans never be heard from again.
“What a loser...”
No, he is not a loser. Traitor, but not a loser.
