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.

“Gohmert for SecDef. Hes an Army JAG veteran.”
oohhh, I didn’t know that!
A good example of why republicans are known as the stupid party.
Ryan is a weakling. He will make lots of money selling out the country (lobbying) after he is out of congress.
I fully expect the most hated man in America, as I call him when tweeting him, to be making multimillions working for the Chamber of Commerce come Januar. He aint goin nowhere.
In that foul fen your ratio is likely low.
Do you really think that if Louie had attempted to tell the story sooner, that he would be alive today?’Or at the very least, they would have framed him for something horrible, or even threatened his family. Or found some way to ruin him. These are not normal people behind this stuff...these are MONSTERS!
I cant find the words to describe my beyond contempt for that smirky POS Ryan
Well, McCain, for sure. If we had known this, before the election, would Romney have won? Would he even had run?
Its a catholic thing for Ryan
I like Louie, but he should have said this two years ago. Doing after Ryan leaves is cowardice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, would have been nice if Louie had disclosed sooner...
However, I seem to recall the contents of a conference call being disclosed and discussed in fall 2016. Maybe the source was anonymous.
And Ryan publicly refused to campaign with Trump in Wisconsin at the Octoberfest/Labor fest activities. Obvious to anyone paying attention that Ryan hated Trump.
Ryan thinks the 22 million illegals in the country aren’t enough to pick the cherries... and that we need more. How stupid is that?
My motto has always been “trust no one, believe nothing, until you have proven it to your own satisfaction”.
The only thing lower than a dem pol is a RINO pol like Paul Ryan - traitor speaker.
That’s cruel. Well done!
If I found Paul Ryan lying in the gutter after being hit by a car...
...I’d shove him back to the center of the road for another shot.
Don’t be fooled, McCarthy is just more zooglial slime that talks a good story.
TRUST NO ONE, BELIEVE NOTHING, UNTIL YOU PROVE IT TO YOUR OWN SATISFACTION.
“It is the way power works in the House; cross the leadership and you get garbage committee assignments, you don’t get recognized for various things, you don’t get ‘cake’ for your district and you prob don’t get re-elected.”
It is indeed. I think I read that chapter in that JFK “Profiles in Courage” book.
“However, I seem to recall the contents of a conference call being disclosed and discussed in fall 2016. Maybe the source was anonymous.”
Ok, very good point
Nothing like Catholic guilt....having been raised in the Roman Catholic Church up here in Boston I’ve seen my share of it.
Ryan’s a strange one. I’ve often wondered how he integrates his Ayn Rand fanboy self with his Catholicism.
Actually, it was known—at least on one level...

Yes.
John McCain for sure. No doubt others, wouldnt be surprised if Ryan was in on it as well.
