In a Wednesday interview with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly, House Speaker Paul Ryan made a demonstrably false declaration about his efforts to pause the Somali refugee program.
During the interview, O’Reilly criticized Ryan for failing to message on immigration controls and asked Ryan specifically about the Somali refugee crisis in Minnesota.
O’Reilly: “We have a Somali problem up in Minneapolis-St. Paul. [We] have a problem there and those are refugees from Somalia. And if, God forbid, some refugee comes in and blows people up, it’s going to be grisly.”
Ryan replied by explaining that he passed a bill to pause the refugee program. Ryan said: “Right. Right. That’s why– just so you know that’s why we passed a bill pausing this refugee program, because we don’t think the refugee program works. That’s why we don’t want it to continue right now.”
However, Ryan did no such thing. The bill Ryan championed did not in any way pause the Somali refugee program– it applied solely to refugees from Syria and Iraq.

WaPo reporting today there are several issues where Paul Ryan and Hillary Clinton are closely aligned. Wouldn’t trust Paul Ryan any further than I could throw him.
Over 400 NEW Syrian ‘refugees’ have been brought to the United States SINCE the slaughter in Orlando...
Someone remind Paul Ryan that he’s half the reason his ticket got their ass kicked in 2012.
There are lots of garbage like Ryan in the party. A real clean out is needed. We can hope that in August the WI will vote Ryan in the trash.
Trump for President.
I sent Ryan’s opponent $20 out of my Socx Sec funds this week. IF more here at FR can do the same, we might get his an early retirement.
Lying must be second nature to Ryan-o. So many in WI though think he’s special.
I commented about this on Tuesday. This guy is a total POS. O Reilly should bring up this point in a talking point or something to set the record straight or he is through too. He once said if you lie to him you pay the price.
Breitbart was commenting about this today too quite a bit.
Ryan is the mini-Harry Reid.
Lyin Ryan!
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has made clear he doesn’t agree with a proposal put forward by Donald Trump -snip- “I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,”

Except of course obama!
Ryan is a lying, gutless snake. He almost makes cry baby Boehner look good.
