Paul Ryan: Trump a “scourge” on the country, Republican Party Attacks Gaetz

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.”

Does Trump pay for this? I mean Ryan trashing Trump is the best endorsement Trump could ever get.

There should be a period before, Attacks Gaetz.

This like the same people that chanted “Insurrection.”

Try finding anyone using that word for anything else, anywhere.

Poor Joe Biden won’t have every single thing he wants on a Platter.

Ryano tears are the best!!!! We are winning when they are whinning!!!

This is the same piece of cr@p who handed Pelosi the House in 2018.

Talk about only getting flak when you are over the target... Gaetz must be directly over the Fuhrer bunker!

POTUS, presumptive nominee and 2024 betting favorite.

That’s the leader of the party.

These folks are yesterday’s news that can’t go away fast enough.

[Ge0ffrey]

Not Laura Ingraham. She gets it.

Translation: RINO elitists attack the GOP.

Ahh Paul Ryan. He sure could write great little thought pieces on what conservative principles meant, on reforming social security, on reducing the deficit, on reducing the size of government and more.

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.”

Now he wants to decry accountability.

I consider PR to be not only one of the biggest scumbags on the planet but also in the history of the planet.
