Lou Dobbs: Speaker Paul Ryan Should Resign
Brietbart News ^ | March 14 2017 | Neil Munro

Posted on 03/14/2017 12:46:17 PM PDT by drewh

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.

Yea. He chewed him a new one last night. Now he is spitting him out.

I watched. Thought Lou was going to have a stroke right there on the set! He'd have chewed Ryan up into little pieces had he dared to show up.

In the time frame, I didn’t see Ryan limiting this to the Trump comments. I don’t think he was in the Trump camp, and I thought this was him making that as clear as he could.

He was a part of the GOPe, and was certain Trump was heading for a crack-up.

Guess who cracked up. The GOPe.

And everybody took them out of the context of the conversation. They were talking about the way women throw themselves at celebrities and what those same celebrities made comments to him about it.

Personally, Ryan did not have to say a thing and he did not have to un-invite Trump to his party in such a public way.

Now we hear that Ryan will be meeting with Trump to “negotiate” the issues raised by those he has spoken with who are against the Ryan plan. Maybe Ryan will be just as recalcitrant to the point of teeing off the Boss.

“Ryan’s comments about not defending Trump were clearly in the context of defending Trump’s statements on the Access”

That’s not clear to me.

Well, there was never really a “Tea Party” but him and Rubio pretended that they support the Tea Party. Seemed like a loooong time ago.

Doesn’t matter. You’re either loyal or you’re not. He could have kept his mouth shut. He didnt. Instead he tried to position himself as if he is better than. He isnt. I’d love to hear what he’s had to say about women in his past especially sitting out in that little hunting shack of his with his little scraggly beard... what a phony

It does not take long to turn most Tea Party congress critters once
they get to DC. And it’s even harder to root them out.
