President Donald Trump ripped into House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) Wednesday for contradicting him on his ability to scrap birthright citizenship.

Ryan has been reluctant to criticize the President harshly, but said explicitly to a local radio station Tuesday that Trump’s notion that he can nullify birthright citizenship, a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment, by executive order is unconstitutional.

  1. Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about! Our new Republican Majority will work on this, Closing the Immigration Loopholes and Securing our Border!

  2. Our new Republican Majority will work on this …

    When, exactly?

  3. Now this is fun!

    Curious to see if a lame duck like Ryan becomes an even lamer duck during the lame duck period.

    He didn’t accompany Trump to Pittsburgh and now contradicts him on birthright citizenship. Too late to be growing a pair now.
