Paul Ryan Advised Republicans To Run From Trump Prior To Election Day, Says Gohmert
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/19/17 | Ginni Thomas

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan advised Republicans to run away from candidate Donald Trump before the election in order to save themselves and hold a future-President Hillary Clinton accountable, Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas revealed in an exclusive video interview with The Daily Caller New Foundation.

“Are you crazy? We haven’t held anyone accountable. You haven’t even let us hold the IRS commissioner accountable [for using government power to harm President Obama’s political adversaries],” an astonished Gohmert said to the speaker on a call.

Gohmert told TheDCNF he speaks so courageously because he wants the party to succeed and is appreciative of the prayers sustaining him. He struggles to find joy as he watches government leaders run from doing what is best for the nation at this critical time.

“We don’t want to go down in history as the generation that was fine with making the future for our kids much worse than we had it,” he said.

Gohmert added “there’s hope” for the future after the Republican disunity on display when Congress sought to repeal Obamacare, “but we have to make our case. We can’t let whoever gives millions of dollars dictate what we’re going to do, and not do, like has been going on.”

Commenting on the aftermath of the Sanders supporter shooting Republicans practicing for a baseball game, he said he was surprised by the Republican reaction, but not the Democrats’ response.

Democrats, he said, refused to acknowledge “the hate we’ve stirred up, the violence we’ve demanded,” but wanted to focus on “the gun.”

Republicans seem inclined to beef up their own protection as public officials, but Gohmert saw that it was guns, used by those trained to use them, that saved lives. Gohmert thinks the Republican leadership needs to step up and allow national reciprocity for concealed carry so people can protect themselves. “Stop forcing us to be sitting ducks,” he said.

All three bought and paid for. Wonder what the skeletons are in the closet.

And in an entirely unrelated note, I wonder if anyone has ever sent him a “Get Worse Soon” card...

Ryan is a lying backstabbing snake that is in the process, along with a number of like minded RINO’s, of destroying America. Their only interests are in themselves and screw the rest.

“Ryan — a Dem mole in the Republican party.”

It’s easier to think of them as separate wings of the same party - The Party of Washington DC.

That first sentence, “Speaker of the House Paul Ryan advised Republicans to run away from candidate Donald Trump before the election in order to save themselves and hold a future-President Hillary Clinton accountable,..”.

It wasn’t the first part of running away from President Trump that caught my eye (we knew he was doing that all along), but that part about Hillary really caught my attention.

Do you see it?!! They are actually touting Hillary to run again?! They actually WANT her to be their President?!!!
SWAMP through and through. Where the hell are the pitchforks and torches against Congress? This is a war. Where the hell are the HONORABLE GOOD people in Government and our protectors?

My big worry is that so many of us who voted for trump are disgusted with the rinos (and they deserve every bit of it) that we won't vote in 2018. if the dems win the house they can impeach Trump. if they win the senate too they can remove him.

Of course if they do that, it will be full blown civil war.

That’s how Pat Toomey ran. His ads warned us that there needed to be someone to balance Hillary Madoff Clinton. Then, her waited until almost closing time to vote, admitting that he went for the obvious loser (lol) Trump.

It absolutely baffles me how anyone could call themselves a Republican and reelect this idiot.

Trump pushes everyone’s buttons. Usual suspects take bait. All the right people end up with egg on their face. Repeat until mid-terms, then repeat until 2020.
