Book: Paul Ryan ‘found himself sobbing’ during Jan. 6 attack
The Hill ^ | 07/10/22 8:49 PM ET | BY OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN

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.”

I think I found the problem.

You know what makes me laugh? The Hill are too kind. Boehner and him were pretty much ousted by their caucus and aren’t missed at all.

While he was crying, sorry, SOBBING, his wife was banging Zach Wilson, probably.

“ Ryan, who was Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) running mate”

That’s pretty much all you need to know - no reason to read any further 🤪

One question for you” Paul:
Have you ever been in a fight?
I mean where you had to hit somebody?Your default position to a challenge seems to wilt, crumble and fall, like an old stalk of corn.

Tiny Tom Daschle used to claim to be deeply disturbed.

I certainly believed that he was.
