A spokeswoman for Speaker of the House Paul Ryan condemned the radical left-wing protest group Antifa on Thursday evening, describing them as “left-wing thugs.” In a statement provided to The Daily Caller, Ryan’s spokeswoman AshLee Strong said: “Speaker Ryan believes, as is obvious, these individuals are left-wing thugs, and those who are committing violence need to be arrested and prosecuted. Antifa is a scourge on our country.”
In recent weeks, Ryan has repeatedly failed to condemn the group, and actively contradicted President Donald Trump’s claim that there were “many sides” responsible for the violence in Charlottesville, following clashes between white nationalists and Antifa protesters.
“There are no sides,” Ryan said in a Facebook post. “That is why we all need to make clear there is no moral relativism when it comes to neo-Nazis. We cannot allow the slightest ambiguity on such a fundamental question.”

Let’s just be blunt, Paul Ryan is the scum of the earth.

At this point pelosi may actually be more conservative than Paul Ryan. What disgusting joke this guy is. I hope Trump endorses his next primary opponent.

He sent a woman out to the podium to speak for him? Is his speechwriting hand broken? Lost his voice? Forgot how to lead?

Very well done. A true leader would have been out front condemning antifa right after Charlottesville. Ryan sat timidly by, waiting to see what Nancy Pelosi said first. Now, bravely, he speaks. The little dork.

Does Ryan ever do his homework? Talk about shooting from the lip. I mean when was he last right about anything on the first pass. I cringe every time I see his name in the header of an article.

Hey Paul - Nancy’s home practicing her meatballs. Get over there, put on your apron, and make the cannoli.

LOL! I had to repeat your post to my husband :-)
Both of them sticking their fingers in the wind, and trying to remain relevant.
Everything is so obvious now, it’s laughable.

It’s not looking good for the Trump movement if we can’t get rid of Paul Ryan as Speaker when we have an outsider as President.
