LISTEN TO SPEAKER PAUL RYAN BASH DONALD TRUMP
In the Oct. 10, 2016 call, from right after the Access Hollywood
tape of Trump was leaked in the weeks leading up to the election, Ryan does not
specify that he will never defend Trump on just the Access Hollywood tape—he
says clearly he is done with Trump altogether.
“I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the
future,” Ryan says in the audio, obtained by Breitbart News and published here
for the first time ever.
Now, Ryan—still the Speaker—has pushed now President Donald
Trump to believe his healthcare legislation the American Health Care Act would
repeal and replace Obamacare when it does not repeal Obamacare. Ryan has also, according to Trump
ally Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), misled President Trump into believing that Ryan’s
bill can pass Congress. Paul and others believe the bill is dead on arrival in
the U.S. Senate since a number of GOP senators have come out against it, and
there are serious questions about whether it can pass the House. This is the
first major initiative that Trump has worked on with Ryan—and the fact it is
going so poorly calls into question whether Speaker Ryan, the GOP’s failed 2012
vice presidential nominee who barely supported Trump at all in 2016, really
understands how Trump won and how to win in general.

October conference call apparently was intended only for House Republican
members. It’s unclear which or how many House Republicans took part in the
call, whether the participants knew it was being recorded, who made the
recording, or whether a recording exists of the entire call. Read More
