Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) said he was “sobbing” as he watched the Jan 6, 2021 attack at the Capitol happen, according to a new book.
In Atlantic journalist’s Mark Leibovich’s new book, “Thank You For Your Servitude,” Ryan said he felt “disturbed” about what was taking place in a building in which he spend most of his political life, according to CNN.
Ryan, who was Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) running mate in the 2012 presidential election, retired from his position as House Speaker in January 2019. He stepped into the role following former House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) retirement four years prior.
“I spent my whole adult life in that building,” Ryan told Leibovich in the book. “And I saw my friends, a lot of cops, some of my old security detail – I’m still friends with a bunch of those guys. It really disturbed me, foundationally.”
Ryan also told Leibovich that “something snapped in him” as he watched the insurrection.
“Ryan figured the president would bitch and moan and maybe make a big show of ‘fighting’ for his supporters for a while,” Leibovich wrote in his book. “Everyone could feel good and victimized. But eventually Trump would just leave; hopefully, he would know to do this on his own. And everyone could then just get on with their lives.”

The man spent so much time there, and has no clue about the
reality of the place.
He and Mitch soiled that place something fierce, and he’s
still thinking about January 6th, something that didn’t
take place day in and day out for decades.
I have no respect at all for those two traitors to the
cause of having a Constitutional Republic.
Mutiny, pure and simple...
As phony as Hillary. These sociopaths have no emotions only a thirst for power.
Ans. He sold out.
..........
Partial answer
S/B... He sold out like many of them do.
I think they all come to DC with dollar signs in their eyes.
It’s like he and kinzinger are blood brothers now. Putz! 😭😭
Well little cuck simp rinos like him tend to do that.
Thankfully, he’s no longer in congress. No thanks to the people in Wisconsin’s 1st congressional district.
Hostage, you nailed it... then the evil bastard went to FOX NEWS to cover up the steel of the election after he happily and unnecessarily gave up the house. He needed Trump impeached because he knows how the game is rigged and he betrayed his country. DEMON. He is a DEMON.
Yeah - I call bs on that.
He sold out like MOST do.
Wait until you see why Kinzinger and Liz Cheney are rabidly Anti-Trump.
They sold and are selling out for big $$$.
RINO pussy.

What a girly man/poseur.
“But eventually Trump would just leave”
