On the very same day that resigning House Speaker Paul Ryan delivered his farewell address on the floor of Congress, fellow House Rep. Louie Gohmert revealed what may perhaps be the real reason why his relatively young colleagues career has come to an unexpected end.
Just a few weeks before the [2016] election, we were told by Paul, by our elected leaders that, gee, the only way we can keep the House majority is just all of us start running against the president, Gohmert claimed during an interview on radio station WMAL The Larry OConnor Show.
Fortunately, we had enough people one after another on the call that pushed back so hard they backed off of that, he added during his discussion Wednesday with guest host Derek Hunter.
Gohmert disseminated the shocking revelation during a broader discussion on how congressional Republicans seem to always be hijacking President Donald Trumps agenda.

I like Louie, but he should have said this two years ago. Doing after Ryan leaves is cowardice.
Judas! Lots of them in the Republican party.
How many Scandinavians does it take to mow the lawns at Paul Ryan’s rancho?
Trump won and he and Romney lost. LOL
Wasn’t there a photo floating around here years ago of Ryan’s house? Well, what you could see of it behind HIS wall.
Ryan is the reason that wall funding NEVER got off the ground.
I wonder if he got his knife out of Trump’s back..
Ryan can go away and regrow his beard
Thanks Louie, better late than never! How different things might have been for the first two years of the Trump Administration, if Gomert had outed him when it would have made a difference perhaps.
Seems to me, at this juncture, there should be a concerted effort to completely identify the RINOs and anti-Trumpers in the Congress and start efforts to replace them in 2020. Ditto for the Senate. There are 21 GOP Senators up in two years, we should know which one’s have been working against Trump. We owe it to President Trump to make his second term way, way more productive than this one has unfortunately been due to “The Repubicans.”
Two-faced Ryan’s dirt is coming home to roost just like McCain’s dirt is seeping out! Anyone wonder how much dirt will be coming out on each of the DC hacks?
You ARE the optimist w those estimates!
I agree completely with your statement. I have a hard time expressing the level of respect and admiration that I have for Rep. Louis Gohmert, now and for as long as I have been aware of him.
If he had, the FBI would have released a bunch a crap on him like they did Jim back when he coached wrestling.
Well, Ryan’s work is done. Welcome to the congressional class of 2019, under DEMOCRAT control
Louis’ work of protecting Ryan is done too, and Ryan won’t have to face the wrath of republicans while still the speaker.
I’m pretty sure Louis isn’t the only one that knew.
POTUS faced criminal Democrat obstruction, media smears, resisting Rinos, never-Trumpers & greedy Chamber of Commerce who want cheap illegal immigrant labor, while WE pay for their basic needs! They all knew the WALL was crucial & they submarined it.
Congress owns this scat show!
Yeah, probably. And in Iraq, some 23 year old soldier knew if he drove that humvee down that road, someone would probably blow an IED and kill or maim him.
I guess we only expect kids in their early 20s to run person risk for their nation.
He was a coward, your answer merely explains his reasoning.
And NOT 1 of those Republicans had the balls to call out their ( false ) Speaker of the house about it in the last 2 years. How Telling. It’s all about holding Power + that is so sadly frustrating to me.
No surprise here.
I look back 10 years and what I thought about this guy. Now I know better than to trust anyone. Ill admit I wasnt early on the Trump train but I voted for him in the primary and the General - damn proud I did.
