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.”

Did he break a nail?
Yeah, well; I was sobbing in despair when you became Speaker of the House, you douchebag.
Must have been that time of the month.
How about we call him, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and the rest of the Never Trumper RINOS Rinocchios!
What a wimp.
Isn’t this fag related to the new pedo-supporting black SCOTUS judge?
Ryan wasn’t disturbed, he was dismounted. What a clown.
Why would he sob? And what has he been up to since he and Willard gave it up?
If I start to feel down I just look at those photos of congressmen hiding under their desks during an unarmed protest and it cheers me up.
Jeez, I thought KINZINGER was an over-the-top drama queen.
Spare me. What an idiot.
They don’t steal election or be Silent about them Mother f...r
Reminds me of the clip of Der Slickmeister after the Wellstone funeral.
Sounds like he’s a bit of girly man.
What a f’ng candy ass....
Yeah, sure. Cry me a river, Ryno. And jump into it, you traitorous pig.
These weasels keep coming out of the woodwork to be noticed and in their minds relevant.
He was sobbing tears of joy as he said “we’ve got him now”.
