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.

GOP Members Livid As Speaker Ryan Lets Democrats Stage a Sit-in
********************************************************

Ryan the traitor is allowing them to do it because he knows they are doing the sit-in to divert attention from Trump’s FANTASTIC speech against Hillary.

Clinton had a meeting with Pelosi yesterday morning, a little while later they start their sit-in. Where was Ryan? I have ZERO doubt he is helping Hillary win....ZERO!

He agrees with them. Why would he fight them?

BINGO!

He was probably at the meeting Hillary had with Pelosi yesterday morning. It is clear as crystal he is against Trump.

Rubio is despicable. He says one thing in spanish and the opposite in English.

I am a veteran of Special Orders.

Does anyone remember this meme?

Mr. Speaker I ask Unanimous Consent to revise and extend my remarks, even to include extraneous material.

That simply means they can give a floor speech in favor of an issue then revise the remarks and say they are again it.

Mostly because the click-bait follows the model they are expecting to see. Regardless of its actual truth. The shame is that some folks here are building up their viewpoints based on these single-source (or sometimes no-source) tabloid stories.

But Ryan should done something to end the sit-in

He could have unplugged the C-SPAN cameras. I remember when Tip O'neill went to the House one night to turn the cameras around to show that the House floor was empty. I loved those Special Orders days.

Agree. Let them have there silly, ridiculous sit in. Just ignore them. If the leadership went crazy over this the media would have a field day. Comparisons to the 60’s would be everywhere. Bull Connor comparisons, etc.
They look ridiculous. If I were a member of congress though, today I would arrive in pajamas, look for the closest CNN, NBC, ABC and Fox news cameras and ask “Is this where the slumber party is??”

I suggest ten Republicans do the same thing, and the whole time kick and scream and wail on the floor of Congress for not getting their way.

They could scream things like, “It isn’t fair!”, “Oh the humanities!”, “I want my mommy!”, and “Has anyone seen my blankie?”

Funny how they use their right to protest and their free speech etc, to demand we get rid of another ‘right’ that they are not fond of....

And a sit in at this level is just EMBARRASSING! Did they sing “We Shall Overcome” too?

Pelosi has more testosterone than Ryan.

Pajama boys should not hold leadership positions.
