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:
As f**e as dems saying they support and work for us Americans
Jo Turnwald Yup, as f**e as the fact that the GOP has gained over 1,000 seats nationwide since 2010 right? LMAO
Wrong Mr RINO. The American people elected him and your state elected you and you are to defend both.
Vote this piece of garbage out
How about working with him for the American people? That’s what you’re elected to do!
we have another mccain fence jumper.
REALLY SICK of this RINO$#%&!@*!!!
Go home you do not deserve your position!
I’m afraid I’m not the only one who noticed what a phony you are? Shape up or ship out, your career is not going so well, make up your mind who are you going to support, your agenda or the American people?
What the hell were you elected to do? All you have done is join the demorats and obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. You are just a cheap treasonous piece of c**p.
