Book: Paul Ryan ‘found himself sobbing’ during Jan. 6 attack
The Hill ^ | 07/10/22 8:49 PM ET | BY OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN

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.”

Thousands of people are dying, becoming poorer, losing hope because of the Deep State stealing the election for Biden. So, now who is crying?

I received a Freepmail that some other Freeper has a son who is a schmucky-schmuck attorney who works for some schmickey-schmick law firm that kisses Rhino Ryan's patootie ..... works direct to the Romney lap poodle or some such.

To which I responded pro bono:

So?

My own father was an attorney in the DOJ and worked directly for the US AG who at the time was RFK.

RFK was orders of magnitude more conservative than Ryan, and more courageous too.

I’m convinced Mr. Crybaby doesn’t have the inner steel to resuscitate his sorry image before the American people. He would do better as a Democrat.

In order to evince any semblance of broad block support, Mr. Pretty Face would require a G_d induced catharsis.

It does happen..... rarely. Here’s a historical example:

Nope, Ryan ain’t got a Paul in him. If I was him, I’d be looking for a hideaway in Baja. Because history turns in an image of massive gallows going up eventually in response to what happened in November 2020. Seriously, it may seem improbable now, but wars are years in the making and years in the waging. What the power addicts pulled off in 2020 was way over the line by any comparison. It’s not going away.

So Rhino Ryan can either bolt and hide or pray to be knocked to the ground where he gets up to commune with the unwashed MAGA hicks ..... that ain’t gonna happen.

Tell your lawyer buddy my rate is $700 per hour which is 10% of the normal rate discounted special for him until this Saturday midnight.

In the meantime, for a real reason to sob, study this:

I know right. Isn’t it amazing how that murder is completely ignored? Where is the house hearing into that? Oh that’s right, it helps push the Rats scam that the Jan.6th protest was a “riot” an “insurrection” so that cop will never be held accountable

You’re the second person on this thread that recognized Satan’s role in what is going on.

Demons are on the loose doing their damage with Ryan and many others.

And across our nation.

Excellent accurate points.

These people have no idea or understanding of reality.

Yes, you got it right.

Demons are involved in this area.

And in almost all aspects of politics across our country.

The Lord rebuke them.

Paul Ryan, shut up! You were part of the problem and you retired before we told you to take a long hike off a short pier!

If you were sobbing, because we think the election was stolen and it was in Wisconsin, you are out of touch with WE, THE PEOPLE!!

I was rather entertained. That scum in that building deserve whatever misery comes their way. They are not fit to shine any Real American’s shoes.

2 things

1. How in the hell did we ever get this soy boy as a top repub speaker of the house??? (really was he pointed, by whom?)
2. Did you (anyone) know he was engaged for a considerable time and almost married the sister of leftist SCOTUS Kentaji Brown Jackson?

A lot of ‘pubbie disappointments from that era. Kasich, Cantor, Ryan....Potomac Fever, I guess.

Seems like someone made a big whoop about Ryan having a black girlfriend, at one time. I didn’t remember her name, or her politics. It was more of a “See? He’s not a racist.” thing.
