When House Speaker Paul D. Ryans redbrick Georgian revival house in Janesville, Wis., was surrounded last July by women whose children were murdered by undocumented immigrants, conservative writer Julia Hahn published a scathing report and a blurry snapshot of Ryans departing SUV.
The headline: Paul Ryan flees grieving moms trying to show him photos of their children killed by his open borders agenda.
Three months later, Hahn wrote a 2,800-word story alleging that Ryan (R-Wis.) was the ringmaster for a months-long campaign to elect Hillary Clinton. It was just one of a torrent of posts over the past year that cast Ryan as a globalist who is cozy with corporations and an enemy of Donald Trump-style populism.
Now Hahn, 25, is expected to join the White House staff, serving as an aide to strategist Stephen K. Bannon, the controversial former Breitbart chairman and a powerful confidant of President Trump.

Ryan, you pompous idiot. Trump has your number (and address, embarrassing pictures, etc.).

Press finally wising up. Pit Republicans against each other rather than fighting about crowd sizes.
The Republican Party is incoherent ideologically. The Far Left press is smart to try to exploit those divisions and Trump supporters will gladly go along with it.

Great reply. Didn’t Patton say that of Rommel? Or something similar?
I so agree Trump has his number.

Hahn studied philosophy at the University of Chicago and was a producer for Laura Ingrahams radio program and press secretary for the anti-establishment Rep. David Brat (R-Va.), who toppled House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the 2014 primary. She remains mostly unknown outside of Washington and avoids television appearances and shuns social media. Her colleagues refer to her as a ghost because she is not on Twitter.
But among many House Republicans and those close to Ryan, Hahn has become an infamous figure whose blizzard of razor-edged stories about supposed GOP inaction on stopping illegal immigration and curbing Muslim immigration to the United States has caused them headaches with activists.
Another 3-D chess move.

DJT is so much smarter than P.R. & if necessary, for the good of Our Country, he can be twice as Machiavellian As Paulie Rino... It is a total mismatch, and Paulie will be sorry that he thought he could play that double-cross game with Trump. MAGA!

Paul Ryan thinks he’s above the law. Where have I heard that before?

If true...this will only make Ryan more willing to help pass Trump’s agenda....the Washington comPost thinks this will pit pub against pub on the contrary it has given us a tremendous gif to use against the backstabbing butthole Ryan!!!
I’ve read some of Julia Hahn’s columns, but I didn’t know she is only 25.

Ryan is dumb enough to stab Trump, but Trump will take him down, as Ryan is a gutless little GIRL.

If the Republican Party's ideology is incoherent then it needs to be rectified and then the resulting coherent ideology clearly stated. Maybe the Far Left press is doing us a favor in identifying this problem for us. I think President Trump and his supporters may be just the people to get this problem fixed. To build a mansion you need a firm foundation and if there's anybody that knows about building on firm foundations that would be President Trump.

Trump needs to send Sessions after Ryan 110%, find ANY and all improprieties, and either prosecute, or leak damaging info. Ryan must be brought down for the revolution to succeed.

Ive read some of Julia Hahns columns, but I didnt know she is only 25. I am stunned. She is such a great writer, I once sent her an email praising her prose. And 25? This is a superstar in the making. GREAT move by Bannon.
