On a never-before-released private October conference call with House Republican members, House Speaker Paul Ryan told his members in the U.S. House of Representatives he was abandoning then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump forever and would never defend him ever again. In the Oct. 10, 2016 call, from right after the Access Hollywood tape of Trump was leaked in the weeks leading up to the election, Ryan does not specify that he will never defend Trump on just the Access Hollywood tape—he says clearly he is done with Trump altogether.
“I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future,” Ryan says in the audio, obtained by Breitbart News and published here for the first time ever.
Now, Ryan—still the Speaker—has pushed now President Donald Trump to believe his healthcare legislation the American Health Care Act would repeal and replace Obamacare when it does not repeal Obamacare. Ryan has also, according to Trump ally Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), misled President Trump into believing that Ryan’s bill can pass Congress. Paul and others believe the bill is dead on arrival in the U.S. Senate since a number of GOP senators have come out against it, and there are serious questions about whether it can pass the House. This is the first major initiative that Trump has worked on with Ryan—and the fact it is going so poorly calls into question whether Speaker Ryan, the GOP’s failed 2012 vice presidential nominee who barely supported Trump at all in 2016, really understands how Trump won and how to win in general.

This is gonna be one helluva thread.
Yes this was in October, but his actions by NOT DEFENDING our president this past few months speak volumes!!!! Kick the bastard out into the blizzard!!! Loyalty to these bartards means squat!!! Replace now!!!!!
So then let the “freedom liberty tea party caucus” members, or whatever they call themselves, move for his removal.
They voted to put that fool there, KNOWING that this quote existed.
Democrats are democrats. It’s these traitors in the republican party that deserve ......
I don’t trust Paul Ryan, so good. The cards are on the table.
Is Ryan still standing in solidarity with islam?
Ryan = bought and paid for.
Trump can’t handle him? Gimme a break.
Backstabbing MF’er Benedict Arnold RINO Ryan....CLEAN THE SWAMP!!!!
How does that DC swamp ever get drained?
???
How do you get that from my question about Ryan’s standing with Islam?
Needs to be removed from office. Go home, do not leave your house. If you do, you will be arrested and imprisoned.
I say find an actual swamp and throw this fool in.
There are some Louisiana bayous that would work well for this task.
I’ve never believed Ryan or McConnell are really backing Pres. Trump. They are both part of the Established politicians whose only desire is to hold onto power. I believe they are just biding their time, acting like they are working for the good of the US, until they can regain power.
It doesn't. Not ever. Time to relocate the nation's capital. How about toward Kansas and Nebraska? Make it more centralized to EVERYONE.
Can he be stripped of his Speakership? How?
TRAITOR!
There is something about that character that creeps me out. I do not know what it is. I just do not trust him.
Paul Ryan is an ambitious fRat boy. He’s going to jump on the side getting the most favorable coverage.
He’s a worm, worming his way to the top, no matter whose toes he steps on, nor whose back he has to stab.
His sophmorish “PowerPoint” presentation may be what kills this bill, even before it reaches the Senate. It explained nothing, just talking points.
