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.”

Whatta crock o’ shit! Lyin’ Ryan should have been cryin’ when those illegal aliens were streaming across the border, or when these ridiculous show trials started.
Because the truth about the election was known.
I had to read that twice to believe what I was reading. Sobbing? Like a little girl who lost her puppy? Really? REALLY? Not choked up, not teary? But SOBBING? Is he kidding me?
I was watching the same thing he did and all I saw was a door window broken and some guys climbing up a wall. How does that make one “sob”? He is like the male version of AOC, a total drama queen

Kinda feels like it. Great reference.
Must have been the cramps.
Prolly sobs when he needs to step on a bug in his house.
What a nancyboy
He works out in the congressional gym, then he spends the afternoon texting Barack Obama tryna get a meet up at the congressional bathhouse
There is no end to the usefulness of that perfect meme.
:)
I don’t believe his little boy scout act for one minute. Behind closed doors I imagine that he is a foul-mouthed, evil AF, criminal-degenerate.
Rolling my eyes. Another dang snowflake/drama queen trying to rack up brownie points with Dems and RINOS. I’m thinking the Founders would have stood and fought (physically) against a true danger. Modern politians turn and run away with tears streaming down their faces rather than standing even IF there was a real threat. They display a wide, wide streak of yellow down their backs. SMH
We were all crying a few days later
Was Paul Ryan aware of the over 200 riots in 2020 and our cities burning? Did he cry over the places citizens live and work?
Didn’t think so...
Deep State doesn’t recruit for brains or b@lls.
Ryan is a twofer.
He’s either a lying RINO sack of $hit, or he’s a lying, RINO, girlie-man sack of $hit.
Sobbing because there was a protest against election fraud?
What a nutcase
