House Speaker Paul Ryan’s office put out a Friday email blast to “unite the clans,” a reference to the Academy Award-winning film “Braveheart.”
The email calls attention to Ryan’s penchant for referencing the epic film about the Scottish battle for independence while pushing his plan to unite conservatives around a “bold, pro-growth agenda.”
The email also featured a gif of star Mel Gibson from that scene in the film.
“Building a movement—particularly one based on such an inclusive approach—takes time, but as Braveheart reminds us, it’s all worth it in the fight for ‘freeeeedooooooooom,'” the email read.
