GOP Members Livid As Speaker Ryan Lets Democrats Stage a Sit-in
Breitbart ^ | 22 Jun 2016 | Neil W. McCabe

Posted on 06/22/2016 9:24:32 PM PDT by detective

Members of the House Republican Conference are furious at Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R.-Wis.) after they were forced to sidelines for more than nine hours while House Democrats staged a college-style sit-in in the House chamber to demand restrictions on gun rights.

“Ryan was so weak, he just let them take over,” a Capitol Hill source told Breitbart News.

I went to c-span to see if they were televising it live, and yes they are, but I noticed the ‘business’ was some minor veteran spending bill. Trivia: a minor veteran spending bill was precisely what was gutted and had obamacare stuck in it’s place, to ram it through the senate six fateful years ago. Brian Sussman had a great article on it.

Seems that’s not the first time it’s been heard. He always reminded me of a DOM (dirty old man); reminds me of someone who sits as President of the Senate (JMHO)

THIS COMMENT SPOT ON:
“Everybody around here took the bait.

Hitlery meets with House Dems this morning. Trump speaks near midday. House Dems pitcha a hissy fit in the afternoon.

Their “demonstration” gives the media an excuse to ignore Trump’s speech - or limit coverage to what they describe as personal attacks and ignore Trump’s policy statements.”

PAUL RYAN was of course IN ON THIS STUNT. He’s fine with stretch Pelosi getting attention. Probably have joint family vacations schedulded.... Disgusting.
Can’t we here in WI dump Ryan? Paul Nehlan primary Aug. 9.

Nope, he’s not my district. Get ON IT Disctrict 1, WI

See how it works?

I like Breitbart, but this angle is silly.

I think this tactic backfires on the Demon Rats. They traded a day of headlines for a year of people in the real world looking at them in disgust. Their perverted notion that cheering on social media and at yahoo.com is going to translate into votes is wrong.

They looked like babies, and it exposes the entire party add sick.

I listerend to them a bit on C-SPAN radio last night. They were streaming it from their phones. The level of drivel was extreme with one protestor talking about how he was told as a kid how his friend was shot. Grew up in the hood? Almost every speaker used the bogus metric of gun victims that includes suicide and inner city gang shootings.

He would if he could. It’s all about the optics, but behind the curtains he is cheering them on for the cameras.

“yeah, let’s drag them out in cuffs. on television. with firehouses and attack dogs.”

From the article:

“none of the GOP members wanted arrests. But Ryan should done something to end the sit-in, short of having people forcibly removed.”
