Exclusive: Paul Ryan Reportedly Says No Chance for Border Wall at Private Dinner
Breitbart ^ | September 12 | Ian Mason

Posted on 09/12/2017 8:58:02 PM PDT by EliRoom8

House Speaker Paul Ryan, at a private dinner earlier this year, said he thought only “one member” wanted to build a wall across the entire U.S.-Mexico border, Breitbart News has learned from multiple sources with direct knowledge of the comments, including former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO).

The dinner, sources said, took place on the eve of the House’s passage of two relatively minor immigration bills at the end of June: Kate’s Law and sanctuary city reforms. The far wider reaching Davis-Oliver Act was tabled at the same time.

“Ryan told a group of Republicans he met with … that only one person wants a wall,” Tancredo told Breitbart News shortly after the dinner.

That was it?

Well, so much for his promises.

The dirt that the deep state has on him must be devastating

The primary reason a wall must be built is because its effectiveness does not depend upon the political will of a bunch of unreliable D.C. politicians. Of course, that’s precisely why both the dems and the GOPe oppose it. They want to be able to talk tough during the election, but then quietly weaken border security after. A permanent physical barrier precludes them from playing that game, and they and their donors hate that.

Nope. None of these leftists are ever blackmailed by the deep state. They are the deep state.

These “representatives” aren’t representing us at all.

It’s time for guillotines!

Are these Republicans really THAT tone-deaf or are they THAT much in the pocket of their globalist contributors that the wishes of we-the-people literally don’t matter to them anymore?

Right now they are trying to come up with a way of making the wall and DACA a quid pro quo.
Once they have framed the issue that way, they will try to queer the wall and make DACA the law.

As long as We the People permit these traitors to hold office, there will be no wall.

Ryan is certainly the correct choice to queer something.

***************************************************
They are not tone deaf at all. They laugh and mock us, give us their middle finger, and cash their paychecks for doing the bidding of their global masters. How much more blatant do they have to get?

Keep in mind, Ryno said this “earlier this year”.
Since then Hurricane Donald has sent most of these cheap labor fags into defilade. Wall prototypes are being judged and chosen. It’s happening whether they like it or not.

You just have to click the X in the upper right corner to close the popup. At least it worked for me on Google Chrome.

I think Ryan and McConnell stand to go down in history as two of the biggest obstructionists in the History of the United States.

They have a man in there that would sign tax cuts, Obamacare repeal, and defunding Planned Parenthood, and they can’t pull their heads out long enough to figure that out.

I’d like to see both of these guys face a recall election immediately.

Trump just needs to put a 4% fee on remittances to Mexico,he’ll have his funds.

“repair” the wall we have and add on to it and build it higher.

What’s Congress going to do? Stop him? No chance.
They’re gutless.
