Newly-elected House speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said in an interview aired Sunday that President Obama was “untrustworthy” to address immigration reform.
Ryan had said that he would not introduce legislation related to immigration reform while Obama is President.
Ryan reiterated these thoughts in an interview with ABC News’ “This Week” that aired Sunday.
“I think he’s proven untrustworthy on this issue. He tried to go around Congress with an Executive Order to rewrite laws unilaterally,” Ryan said. “Presidents don’t write laws. Congress writes laws.”
“So yes, Ryan continued. “I do not believe we should and we won’t bring immigration legislation with a president we cannot trust on this issue. If we believe and have consensus on things like border enforcement, and interior security, then that’s fine.”
That’s a great way to start. “we’re not going to do something we don’t want to do anyway because the President is a big meanie.”
Meet the new boss…
Same as the old boss…
Yep, blame Obama, the outgoing POTUS, so that you can duck out from under the FFC’s (Fascist Freedom Caucus) mandate to introduce. Little Paulie still thinks he can thread the needle.
I doubt if Ryan is smart enough to spell,…COP-OUT.
or even able to understand what it means
First off, it takes a special kind of untrustworthy person to believe they’ve spotted another. Typically, this is called deflection, reflection — looking in the mirror. Secondly, so Ryan’s reasoning here goes like this? – Let’s not send the president ANY bills related to this very pressing and very complicated issue so … he will take some sort of other executive action and then we’ll have a cover for our faux outrage?
