President Trump and Judge Pirro Initiates Momentum for Paul Ryan’s Resignation

In the aftermath of the failure of Speaker Ryan to move his healthcare bill forward, President Trump tweeted that people should watch Judge Jeanine Pirro’s show that evening. As soon as one saw the show, it was obvious why the president made that request.

Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro, whose show President Trump urged his followers on Twitter to watch earlier in the day, opened her program at 9pm on Saturday by calling for Speaker Paul Ryan’s resignation.

“Ryan needs to step down as Speaker of the House. The reason, he failed to deliver the votes on his healthcare bill, the one trumpeted to repeal and replace ObamaCare, the one that he had 7 years to work on; the one he hid under lock and key in the basement of Congress; the one that had to be pulled to prevent the embarrassment of not having enough votes to pass.” Pirro said in her opening statement.

Now there is a straightforward set of statements, worthy of our plain-speaking president himself. Could it be that President Trump is using Pirro’s show as a vehicle for dumping Ryan in favor of a Speaker who will actually support the president’s agenda? In fact, could the whole apparent disaster be a tool President Trump is using to force Ryan out as speaker?

In any event, Pirro does not mince words.

“Speaker Ryan, you come in with all your swagger and experience and sell them a bill of goods which ends up a complete and total failure and you allow our president, in his first 100 days, to come out of the box like that, based on what?” Pirro said.

This comes on the heels of one of President Trump’s famous tweets:

Watch @JudgeJeanine on @FoxNews tonight at 9:00 P.M.

Pirro summed up her position on the matter as follows.

Pirro insisted in her first segment that the failure was on Ryan and not on Trump. “Folks, I want to be clear. This is not on President Trump,” she said. “No one expected a businessman to completely understand the nuances, the complicated ins and outs of Washington and its legislative process. How would he know on what individuals he could rely?”

“Ryan has hurt you going forward, and he’s got to go,” Pirro said

Is Paul Ryan about to be history? The conservative movement would certainly lose nothing by his resignation.
