Paul Ryan Will Hit Trump In Reagan Library Speech
May 27, 2021 at 7:53 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 30 Comments
Former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is expected to knock former President Trump in a speech tonight at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library by urging members of his party to avoid rallying behind one personality or second-rate imitations, Punchbowl News reports.
Ryan will say: Once again, we conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads. And heres one reality we have to face. If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then were not going anywhere.

Summer 2016. Ryan and McCarthy are on tape laughing and talking about Trump and Russia.
In the transcript published by the Post, McCarthy speculates that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committees computers and, in the process, discovered whatever opposition-research materials the Democrats had gathered on Trump.
Theres two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump, McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. Swear to God.
Dana Rohrabacher is a Republican from California with a peculiar amalgam of views: pro-marijuana, dubious about climate change, pro-torture. For this last position, in 2007, Keith Olbermann awarded him his periodic Worst Person in the World award, on his old MSNBC show. Like Trump, Rohrabacher has been highly solicitous of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last year, Politico ran an article on Rohrabacher called Putins Favorite Congressman.
In the Post piece, McCarthys remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?
And then, amid more laughter, Ryan says, This is how we know were a real family here.
