I wouldn't say proud, but I would consider it childish not to extend respect to the Office.
It is good for honest folks to agree to disagree sometimes.
I respect your reasoning and agree with the respect but parse it differently.
I respect the office too much not to shun Ryan because of his disrespect for that office & for the American people.
I also want to note that especially this election cycle people have been judged by who they stood with in old photos. Photos of people shaking hands have been used to suggest that the individuals were friendly with, in accord with, aligned with each other. That’s where the saying “I stand with” comes from; it equals support and alliance.
I do not stand with Paul Ryan. I donated to Nehlen last cycle and will again. It would be hypocrisy &/or cowardice for me to be photographed with him...It should be noted I have been called stubborn and uncompromising...by friends.
