Lou Dobbs: Speaker Paul Ryan Should Resign

House Speaker Ryan should resign his post, says Lou Dobbs, the anchor of Lou Dobbs Tonight on Fox Business Network.

Dobbs Tweeted his resignation call Tuesday morning after Breitbart posted a pre-election recording of Ryan saying he would never defend President Donald Trump, and as multiple GOP legislators walked away from Ryan’s Obamacare replacement proposal, the American Health Care Act.

In the audiotape, recorded Oct. 10, 2016, Ryan told his fellow GOP legislators that ““I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future.” Ryan spoke shortly after the public heard the Access Hollywood tape of Trump’s conversation in which he said about women that “when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

Dobbs followed up his call for Ryan’s resignation with two Tweets calling for the full repeal of Obamacare. One Tweet describes Ryan’s proposed alternative as “RyanCare,” and said it is failing.

According to the leaked audiotape, Ryan said about his reaction to Trump’s comments:

There are basically two things that I want to make really clear, as for myself as your Speaker. I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future. As you probably heard, I disinvited him from my first congressional district GOP event this weekend—a thing I do every year. And I’m not going to be campaigning with him over the next 30 days … Many of you on this call are facing tough reelections. Some of you are not. But with respect to Donald Trump, I would encourage you to do what you think is best and do what you feel you need to do. Personally, you need to decide what’s best for you. And you all know what’s best for you where you are.

If I were Pugsley I’d have to fall on my sword.

I have NEVER liked him. I liked him less and trusted him not at all after a little research about his associations.

Does one have to explicitly state the context in every remark on a subject?

I’m not on Facebook or Twitter, but everyone who cares might start a #RyanResignNOW hashtag....Maybe it will catch on.

The fact that Romney seemed to LOVE him so much should have been our first clue. He fooled most of us, but no longer.

Quoting context is a lot harder from phones and pads so you see less of it. Time was no one would comment without quoting enough of the original quote to make the comment make sense.

Things change, notice how much more tolerant the spelling checkers have became as autocorrect now butchers everyones posts.
