Paul Ryan: Trump a “scourge” on the country, Republican Party Attacks Gaetz
Deseret News ^ | 10/5/2023 | Suzanne Bates

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said the historic vote to remove Kevin McCarthy from his role as speaker on Tuesday was “a total disgrace.”

He also had strong words about former President Donald Trump, who he said was a “scourge” on the country and the Republican Party.

Ryan said an “unprincipled demagogue” overthrew McCarthy for “just doing his job” — referring to Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who coordinated the effort to remove McCarthy from his role, and who Ryan criticized by name later in his remarks.

“The kind of populism we have right now is not rooted in principle. It’s unprincipled populism, wrapped around the cult of a personality on Donald Trump. And this populism is gripping our party in very ugly ways,” he said. “And it’s manifesting itself in this ugly politics that we just saw displayed on the House floor two days ago. We have to get past this.”

That pos Ryan is why we have the border crisis. He lied to Trump that border controls would be put into law. Then when Ryan screwed the country, Trump had to use executive orders which Biden could reverse.
That scumbag Ryan did this deliberately.
And as for a “scourge’ has there ever been a more worthless ticket than Romney/Ryan?
The fact that he even shows his face just demonstrates he has no shame.

When the Politico article about “leading Republicans” attacking Gaetz was posted a couple of days ago, some clueless FReepers were denying it as fake news and complaining about Politico. Face it - this IS the way the “Republican Wing of the Uniparty” treats anyone who dares to defy them. They got rid of Trump and they’re likely to get rid of Gaetz next, having nearly succeeded once before.

Everyone should look at that list of names you put up and ask themselves, would the country really be worse off if none of them existed? Not all are Republicans of course, but when they are united against the one man who has done what he promised to do to hold the Uniparty accountable, what difference does the letter after their name make?

Paul Ryan is behind the scenes causing a huge amount of Trouble. Remember he is the Fox chief political editor. He got the job and shortly afterwards Tucker was fired.

If unprincipled populism means getting back to fiscal clarity, responsibility, stemming illegal invasion and protecting our constitutional rights then I am all in with the unprincipled populists! #MAGA

Yes!

Ryan and his ilk talk “populism” and “cult of personality” because talking policy and results is poison to them.

Trump represents a clear and present danger to “the order of things”, and the new surveillance state can’t abide a return to the old constitutional way of doing things. We haven’t had a budget Since Bush one. The alphabet agencies have run amok and they want the annoyance of honest elections ended for good.

Interesting times indeed.

I’ve never seen anyone praise Paul Ryan as much as Trump did while he was President. Here’s a collage...

>> Ahh Paul Ryan. He sure could write great little thought pieces on what conservative principles meant... When it came time to use the power of controlling all three branches to enact such reform? He abandoned those principles (if he ever really had them) in the name of “Governing.”...

EXCELLENT post. Thank you. Everything I thought to write about Paul Ryan would probably just get deleted by the mods. I despise that personal agenda driven traitor.

Throw Hannity in there also, he’s as much a scumbag as LIEN RYAN.

He even kind of looks like Eddie Munster.
