 Paul Ryan ‘found himself sobbing’ during Jan. 6 attack: book
by Olafimihan Oshin - 07/10/22 8:49 PM ET

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) said he was “sobbing” as he watched the Jan 6, 2021 attack at the Capitol happen, according to a new book.

In Atlantic journalist’s Mark Leibovich’s new book, “Thank You For Your Servitude,” Ryan said he felt “disturbed” about what was taking place in a building in which he spend most of his political life, according to CNN.

Ryan, who was Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) running mate in the 2012 presidential election, retired from his position as House Speaker in January 2019. He stepped into the role following former House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) retirement four years prior.

“I spent my whole adult life in that building,” Ryan told Leibovich in the book. “And I saw my friends, a lot of cops, some of my old security detail – I’m still friends with a bunch of those guys. It really disturbed me, foundationally.”

Ryan also told Leibovich that “something snapped in him” as he watched the insurrection.

“Ryan figured the president would bitch and moan and maybe make a big show of ‘fighting’ for his supporters for a while,” Leibovich wrote in his book. “Everyone could feel good and victimized. But eventually Trump would just leave; hopefully, he would know to do this on his own. And everyone could then just get on with their lives.”

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

He seems he is on the cusp of going trans.

Just one more little push from you Donald, and he breaks free of his chains.

Is Paul Ryan experiencing menopause?

There's no crying in the Republican Party.

Gee, I found myself sobbing for this Republic when it was blatantly obvious that the election was stolen and SCOTUS turned their backs and walked away!

Both Bohner and Ryan did extreme damage to the GOP and to this country.  Let them weep! 

Perhaps Ryan thinks he has another chance at the oval office?  Romney/Ryan?    :silly:

Who cracked the cover of his crypt? Has this guy ever done one actual thing for conservatism or held even one conservative value? Seems the only things he ever supported were of benefit to the democrats and he's is still in their pocket.

Unfortunately, there seems to be quite a number just like him in the "Republican" party these days.
