Paul Ryan: Trump a “scourge” on the country, Republican Party Attacks Gaetz
Deseret News ^ | 10/5/2023 | Suzanne Bates

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said the historic vote to remove Kevin McCarthy from his role as speaker on Tuesday was “a total disgrace.”

He also had strong words about former President Donald Trump, who he said was a “scourge” on the country and the Republican Party.

Ryan said an “unprincipled demagogue” overthrew McCarthy for “just doing his job” — referring to Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who coordinated the effort to remove McCarthy from his role, and who Ryan criticized by name later in his remarks.

“The kind of populism we have right now is not rooted in principle. It’s unprincipled populism, wrapped around the cult of a personality on Donald Trump. And this populism is gripping our party in very ugly ways,” he said. “And it’s manifesting itself in this ugly politics that we just saw displayed on the House floor two days ago. We have to get past this.”

The DC corruption must flow seems to be the only principal these people actually belive in.

I doubt whoever comes in next will be able to do much better. Conservatism has an effectiveness problem that transcends the political sphere. No matter how much political power accrued, nothing gets done because there isn't a solid foundation in business, culture, academia or the bureaucracy.

There are just too many spheres that need to be controlled and not enough competent and motivated people to take them over.

Thanks Johnny Rambo!

I agree. They drew first blood.

McCarthy said, “Bring it on” after Nancy told him they’d have his back.

These idiots get their panties in a wad if the government “shuts down” which is a joke since it never really does.

All so the can scream about the end of the world to get more pork spending.

What Paul Ryan and the radical left say about us.. A scourge.. A disgrace..

They hate anyone who is doing the right thing.. We are directly opposite their sold minds.

Mccarthy was doing the radical left bidding.. So of course, keep him in.

How many in congress.. In government.. Still have a conscience? How many do what is right.. No matter what?

Compromised and corrupted.

Would it be that Ryan and other RINO’s use those kind of adjectives when describing leftists…
