If you thought Paul Ryan was pathetic before, you ain’t heard nothing yet. It seems that Paul Ryan was so desperate for Republicans in the House to pass RyanCARE that he got down on one knee and basically begged them to pass the crappy bill. That’s your Speaker of the House folks. Ryan must go, like yesterday! Of course, this story comes from the left wing propaganda rag Washington Post (and then copied by The Hill). So as pathetic as it sounds and unsurprising, it could just be more left wing fake news. I tend to think there’s some truth to this story though as Paul Ryan is beyond pathetic. Just like John Boehner.

The Washington Post detailed the House GOP’s fight over the ObamaCare repeal and replacement plan this week, rounding up the dramatic details of leadership’s fight to win support for the measure.
At one point, the paper said, House Speaker Paul Ryan (Wis.) got down on one knee to plead with Rep. Don Young of Alaska – the longest-serving Republican in Congress — to support the bill. (He was unsuccessful.)
The moments highlighted by the Post during the Republican conference negotiations show what a tough battle Ryan and his deputies faced in whipping the vote.
But they also show the fierce support some offered to leadership — like freshman Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, who lost both legs in 2010 in Afghanistan and called on colleagues to unite behind the bill as he and his Army colleagues had done on the battlefield.
