Before Trump became your illegitimate president, Paul Ryan hid the truth. After the election we learned that not only is the Speaker of the House a hypocrite, he is also a phony. He fooled me and millions of other Americans into believing that he was intelligent, and had the future of the American people as his primary focus. We now know that Ryan’s persona was indeed a facade.
Ryan has bowed to his fuhrer since November 9, 2016. Although he once denounced Trump as immoral and totally unqualified to be our nation’s president, the man who spoke to the American people about the need for integrity and respect in the White House has now surrendered to the worst man in the world.
Rumors in Washington are claiming that Ryan will resign as the Speaker. His staff denies the allegation. However, we have become accustomed to Republicans denying the facts.
Recently Trump and his paid liar, Sarah Sanders, vehemently denounced rumors that H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser was soon to be fired became fact just a few days ago.
My personal belief is that this allegation is baseless and is predicated on the lack of veracity at the source.
“The rumor mill is that Paul Ryan is getting ready to resign in the next 30 to 60 days and that Steve Scalise will be the new Speaker,” Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) told the website Nevada Newsmakers on Monday. “Now that is interesting because nobody has talked to members [of the House] on how they are going to vote [on new leadership]. Now, maybe they have talked to all of the members but me. I don’t know, so that is the rumor mill from last week.”
Amodei is well-known in my state of Nevada as a useless member of the House. He has accomplished nothing while supporting the worst president in history during his term in office.
Trump has frequently attacked Ryan for his own failures. I am not, and will not defend Ryan; he is one of the primary reasons why our government is dysfunctional, and why the GOP is imploding. However; when failures attack other failures, we are able to view the beginnings of the end and all of the perpetrators involved.
The GOP has not existed for more than 25 years. The Republican Party is now a group which exists ‘in name only.’ They have no principles; no ideas; and no ability to govern.
The majority of the responsibility must be focused on the failures of Ryan and Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell. Their refusals to represent the majority of Americans have led to their demise as respected members of our nation’s now dysfunctional government.
You have a responsibility and an opportunity to take back our beloved nation. Remove all Republicans from office on November 6th and save the Constitution.
