Hannity: Ryan Is A ‘Saboteur,’ Should Be Replaced By Hard-Liners Like Gohmert
By ALLEGRA KIRKLAND Published OCTOBER 20, 2016, 7:24 AM EDT
Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday declared House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) a “saboteur” who should be forced from office.
Speaking to the Washington Post in the spin room after the final presidential debate, the devoted Donald Trump ally hinted that the intra-party war between far-right conservatives and their more moderate counterparts would continue regardless of who wins the presidential race on November 8.
Hannity told the Post that Ryan, who has offered only tepid support for the Republican nominee during the 2016 race, “needed to be called out and replaced.”
Trump amped up his attacks on the speaker in the final stretch of the race after Ryan said he would no longer defend him over a leaked recording in which Trump can be heard bragging about predatory behavior towards women. On Twitter and at rallies, the real estate mogul has said Ryan, who has not withdrawn his endorsement, “doesn’t know how to win” and is a “weak and ineffective” leader. Trump’s supporters have taken up the call, booing mentions of Ryan’s name at rallies.
