Leaked Audio Surfaces of Ryan Disavowing Trump: “I Am Not Going to Defend Donald Trump—Not Now, Not in the Future”


This might be known as the era of the political leak. Not only have we had bombshells from WikiLeaks, but embarrassing information about politicians and government programs seems to arrive daily. Mr. Obama has been on the receiving end of such revelations. Now it appears to be Speaker Ryan’s turn.

In the Oct. 10, 2016 call, from right after the Access Hollywood tape of Trump was leaked in the weeks leading up to the election, Ryan does not specify that he will never defend Trump on just the Access Hollywood tape—he says clearly he is done with Trump altogether.

“I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future,” Ryan says in the audio, obtained by Breitbart News and published here for the first time ever.

This certainly calls into question whether Speaker Ryan can even work with President Trump. But the next part would indicate that it is time for Paul Ryan to resign as Speaker of the House.

Now, Ryan—still the Speaker—has pushed now President Donald Trump to believe his healthcare legislation the American Health Care Act would repeal and replace Obamacare when it does not repeal Obamacare. Ryan has also, according to Trump ally Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), misled President Trump into believing that Ryan’s bill can pass Congress. Paul and others believe the bill is dead on arrival in the U.S. Senate since a number of GOP senators have come out against it, and there are serious questions about whether it can pass the House. This is the first major initiative that Trump has worked on with Ryan—and the fact it is going so poorly calls into question whether Speaker Ryan, the GOP’s failed 2012 vice presidential nominee who barely supported Trump at all in 2016, really understands how Trump won and how to win in general.

If Paul Ryan is willing to step so low as to deliberately sabotage the president who is from his own party in the way just described, he has forfeited any right to be Speaker. If he does not step down, the Republicans in the House must replace him.
