House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) will not address whether he agrees with Donald Trump’s baseless claim that he would have won the popular vote if “millions” of people had not voted illegally.
“I don’t know. I’m not really focused on these things,” Ryan said during an interview that aired Sunday on CBS’ “60 Minutes” when asked about Trump’s comments.
“I have no way of backing that up. I have no knowledge of such things,” Ryan added when pressed. “It doesn’t matter to me. He won the election.”
During the interview, Ryan said that Congress’ first priority would be repealing Obamacare, but he would not give an exact timeline for replacing the health care law. He also said he would like to make changes to Medicare, but he acknowledged that it is not his first priority.
Oh.
So that means whatever he says, you can’t challenge him?
Disagree with him?
Correct him?
Call him out when he’s wrong?
Not nitpick anything he does and go on TV blasting him whatever he does?
Wow. That memo probably got lost the past 8 years of the Obama presidency.
Shorter Ryan: “He won. That’s all that matters. The end justifies the means. We command you in the press to stop talking about it. Now that we see how well blatant lying works, and how malleable the media are, we’ll keep on trying that. Here, let me tell you about my fabulous Vouchercare program.”
AKA as cRyanCare.
It’s a simple question that involves the sanity and the intelligence of the person who just got elected to the most powerful office in the history of mankind. No biggie.
Paul Ryan is a giant coward.
I guess facts don’t matter to Ryan too, eh?
