JANESVILLE, Wis. —

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan told WISN 12 News on Monday there should be no question that President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.

"President Trump lost the election. Joe Biden won the election," Ryan said to WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott during a rare interview.

Even as Wisconsin Republican lawmakers launch a forensic audit of the 2020 election, Ryan believes it is time for his party to move past the false claim that the election was stolen from Trump.

"It was not rigged. It was not stolen. Donald Trump lost the election. Joe Biden won the election. It's really clear," Ryan said.

I guess he's no longer a Republican. Such a coward, why couldn't he have said this 9 months ago ? Because he still wanted to be part of the RepublicanTrump corruption machine.

6. Joke of a VP candidate, laughed off stage in debate, weighs in with belated reality

I'll give him credit for facing the music. But realize he is now entering Liz Cheney-Kinzinger. Those trying to salvage the dying carcass of a party.

8. Was at the Bristol Renaissance Festival on Sundsy in Kenosha.

Saw several people wearing Trump 2024 t-shirts. I was wearing garb appropriate for the festival.

Kenosha voted for Ryan because Janesville couldn't stand him.

10. We saw a man at supermarket w/t-shirt "Donald Trump Matters"

Ms. Champp, noted for her quick wit, picked right up on that.

As the clown walked by she said to him: "Yes, Trump matters to incels."

9. Republicans will toss him out on his keester for speaking truth

Truth which Republicans cannot abide.

Sad.

Paul Ryan excoriates planned GOP effort to challenge Biden's Electoral College win as 'anti-democratic and anti-conservative'

"The Trump campaign had ample opportunity to challenge election results, and those efforts failed from lack of evidence. The legal process was exhausted, and the results were decisively confirmed," he added. "The Department of Justice, too, found no basis for overturning the result. If states wish to reform their processes for future elections, that is their prerogative. But Joe Biden’s victory is entirely legitimate."
