House Budget Chair Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Wednesday blamed President Barack Obama for the recent discussions about House Republicans potentially impeaching him.
“I see this sort of a ridiculous game by the president and his political team to try and change the narrative, raise money and turn out their base for an upcoming election that they feel is not going to go their way,” Ryan told reporters at a Washington breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. “And I’ll just leave it at that.”
He accused Obama of rewriting laws, rather than implementing them, but said his transgressions “[do] not rise to the high crimes and misdemeanor level.”
Ryan reiterated that he’ll vote for Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) planned lawsuit against Obama because he believes that’s a “responsible” reaction.
“He’s trying to stand up for congressional prerogatives,” the congressman said. “We want to show we’re not taking this lying down.
The White House has pointed out that at least half-a-dozen House Republicans sympathetically floated the idea of impeachment before Democrats began fundraising off the idea.
Seriously, you guys are so fucking weak.
Another Republican, another lie, another dodge and failure to take responsibility for something their own party started. Anyone surprised this is coming from the party who claims they are all about personal responsibility? Hypocrites.
He obviously has not read Philip Bump

Why doesn’t Eddie Munster denounce the republicans, like the Whore of Babble On, who keep calling for impeachment?
Don’t tread on us, or we’ll cry.
