Paul Ryan did not support Donald Trump during the campaign and often refused to defend him in the lead-up to the election. Now that Trump is President of the United States, not much has changed.
Sure, Ryan has participated in the requisite photo ops and has propped up Trump-backed legislation, but he has only been chummy with Trump when it’s convenient. It’s when the left surrounds Trump in a scandal that Ryan heads for the hills.
We saw this happen last year when the Access Hollywood tapes leaked. Many Republicans believed that audio, which featured a lewd conversation between Trump and Billy Bush, would ultimately cost Trump the election. Ryan subsequently announced that he would neither defend nor campaign with Trump.
Now that Trump is involved in another media-driven scandal — this time about Russia — Ryan is playing a familiar tune.
See what Ryan said that has many Trump supporters furious on the next page:
Who are you supposed to protect, Hillary? Putin? Obama? Soros? Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States of America and since he won that title, I’ll assume that all of the other “elected officials” would defend and protect him for 4 years. After the election, there is only one President and he is the leader of the free world. Who are you defending and protecting Mr. Ryan?
Yes it is Ryan, protect your President or step down. Either protect him or get out. The people are tired of playing rino.
I beg your pardon asshole
Yes it is. What the heck is wrong with this guy.
HAVEN’T TRUSTED HIM FROM THE START. SOME ONE NEW NEEDS VOTED IN AND HIM OUT .I WAS RAISED TO RESPECT THE PRESIDENT. I NEVER LIKE OBAMA BUT NEVER DISRESPECTED HIM LIKE THE DEMOCRATS AND EVEN THE REPUBLICANS ARE DOING. THERE ARE A LOT OF THOSE WORKING IN OUR GOVERNMENT , COMING UP FOR REELECTION THAT ARE GOING TO NEED TO FIND NEW JOBS ON BOTH SIDE OF THE FENCE. GOD BLESS ALL AMERICAN AMEN.
No, but you sure as hell weren’t elected to oppose him.
i have been frustrated trying to wrap my brain about whats going on in politics for the past couple years , finally realized the error of my misspent effort and thankfully (sic) came to the realization we’ll not know the truth – they’re all a bunch of lying shits –
Ryan is a snake in the swamp…
You were elected to represent the people not the big business that is putting money in your pocket!
He means support the agenda that you promised us in the elections numb nuts
