Paul Ryan: More House Republicans Would
Have Impeached Trump If They Had ‘Guts’

Original Article

Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan claimed that more House Republicans would have impeached former President Donald Trump following the January 6 Capitol riot if they had the “guts” to do so. Paul Ryan made his pronouncement while campaigning for Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC), one of the 10 House Republicans that voted to impeach Trump following the riot. “There were a lot of people who wanted to vote like Tom but who just didn’t have the guts to do it,” Ryan said. “There are a lot of people who say they’re going to vote their conscious, they’re going to vote for the Constitution, they’re going to vote for their

Comments:

Many still call Paul Ryan and his ilk RINOs when in fact they are very much mainstream Republicans, a party that's all but indistinguishable from the Democrat Socialist Party when it comes down to actions instead of pretty talk during campaign season and wishful thinking on our part. We were sold down the river by these profiteering traitors decades ago.

If Ryan had the "guts" he talks about he would have bent at Pelosi's knees and been converted to Demo-rat. Nothing but a swamp creature, now living off the Chamber of Commerce, who with the Catholic charities are enabling the southern invasion of the USA.

The ones WITH guts are the ones who voted against impeachment and in the Senate, against conviction. The liars were on the impeachment committees, and they continue to lie. The whole schemes were concocted first by the Clinton gang and then set in perpetual motion. No, Mr. Lyin' Ryan, you've hitched your decrepit and putrid wagon to a team of sway-back, long in the tooth asses.

This is why a lot smart outsiders know that both the Congressional Democrats and the Congressional Republicans are just really a UniParty, that together maintains a DC combined political system, that keeps the out of DC American people in the dark, as they corruptly make money for themselves together. Trump brought those factors out in the open and is why the UNIParty hates him.

Impeached over what? He has really proved himself to be slow witted. Everyone knew that the Russia thing was a lie. It's been proved that it was a lie, and a treasonous one at that. You should feel shame that for you it's ok to impeach an innocent man. What a traitor.

Paul Ryan, RINO, was on the board of directors at Fox News when that channel precipitated election stealing in swing states. The extremely early call of Arizona was the signal for the fraud to begin. Arizona was an easy early call because of election deceit now being uncovered in Maricopa County and elsewhere. So, if Ryan endorses and campaigns for a given candidate you will know who NOT to vote for.

FORMER Speaker. Remember that. You were the failed, ineffective now former Speaker of the House. Ryan was an ineffective leader unable to pass legislation when he should have been able too. He was more worried about being friends with the Democrats than passing the conservative agenda. Nobody cares what the failed former ineffective Speaker had to say about what Republicans would have done if they had the guts. If Ryan had the guts, he would have gotten the Republican agenda passed when he was speaker.

Woke Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has made a u-turn over claims the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department 'agreed with the felony charges' over the light sentence a teenager received after he was convicted of driving a car into a mother and her eight-month-old son. An earlier statement put out by Gascon suggested the Sheriff's Department had agreed with both the charges and sentencing, together with the DA's office. But on Saturday, Gascon reversed course saying that the Department had in fact not been consulted over the punishment received by a 17-year-old driver who deliberately plowed into a mother who was pushing her baby

New York—As precautions put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19 dwindle, other, more familiar viruses are popping back up. But those returning viruses and bacterial infections are behaving differently, according to an emergency room doctor with Lenox Hill Hospital. She said one reason for the new reactions is the fact that people’s immune systems have been changed following isolation and other measures during COVID-19. “People are now feeling every single illness that they pick up, because we’re not used to it,” Dr. Anjali Bharati said.(Snip)While the illnesses are more severe than in years past, she added that hospitalizations are still rare.

And the worst-kept secret in American politics is that he wants to swap out his Sunshine State address for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as soon as possible. No, the politician is not Donald Trump but rather Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who lately seems bent on executing just about every page of the former president's political playbook—only with a sunnier demeanor, less offensive language and fewer of the personal antics that make Trump so polarizing.

Despite our "anxiety" about high gas and food prices, Joe Biden says we need to cheer up: Americans are "more financially comfortable" than at any time in the past decade. According to the White House statement he read out from his vacation lair at Delaware's tony Rehoboth Beach: The job market is the strongest it’s been since just after World War Two. We’ve got more evidence of that today. We learned that in May the economy added another 390,000 new jobs, bringing the total since I took office to 8.7 million new jobs — an all-time record.

The Biden Administration has reached the “you can’t fool all of the people all of the time” stage,” and the evidence shows Americans aren’t buying Biden’s excuses and blame-shifting. The latest Gallup survey from late May is headlined, “Economic Pessimism Growing in the U.S.” WASHINGTON, D.C. — Gallup’s Economic Confidence Index measured -45 in May, down from -39 in each of the previous two months. It is the lowest reading in Gallup’s trend during the coronavirus pandemic, and likely the lowest confidence has been since the tail end of the Great Recession in early 2009. . . Americans’ economic pessimism took a turn for the worse this month.
