During a press conference on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) would not discuss a report revealing that staffers on the House Judiciary Committee helped with President Donald Trump’s executive order barring immigrants from several predominantly Muslim countries.
“Congressional staffers help the administration all the time,” Ryan said when asked about the report.
He then referred questions about the report to Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), the chair of the House Judiciary Committee.
Politico reported Monday night that members of the committee worked on the order but that they were forced to sign nondisclosure agreements, leaving Republican leaders on the Hill in the dark about their efforts and the executive order.
Paul Ryan is a spineless coward who values tax cuts over everything. He’s more concerned with not angering Trump than he is with Constitutional law. That he was ever held up as some sort of paradigm of intelligence or virtue is beyond me.
Still trying to figure out who on his own staff is selling him out to Bannon.
Gee, return of the Stasi, American-style.
Trump doesn’t like pets. So Paul Ryan has kindly volunteered to be Trump’s alt-poodle.
Doesn’t “Speaker of the House” somehow suggest that you’re supposed to be in charge of said House?
Or at least aware of what is happening in your House?
Or that an orange gasbag has broken in?
Apparently not…
You are far more polite than I am. I’d have written chickenshit son of a bitch.
