MIsplaced GOP Anger

Part 2 of "There Goes Ryan and McConnell"

Conservative activists angry about the deal are taking out their rage on Paul Ryan.

Three ultraconservative House Republicans met with Ryan, and “were ‘frank’ about their mounting concerns and warned Ryan that they and others in the House Republican conference could desert him in the coming months if the leadership fails to enact conservative policies,” the Washington Post reports.

[...]

“We didn’t work this hard just to let Congress enact liberal policies,” said Jenny Beth Martin, president of Tea Party Patriots, who described the deal as “fool’s play” and a “trap” for Republicans.

Ken Cuccinelli of the Senate Leadership Fund said the deal showed “why ordinary Republicans of every stripe believe Republican leadership must be replaced.” Pointing to McConnell specifically and the perceived lack of a conservative debt ceiling option for the president, he said, “If that’s going to be the habit in September, it’s going to be a very ugly September.”

Again, this is the deal that Donald Trump made personally. And that Paul Ryan opposed all along. They’re so angry Trump undermined Paul Ryan and made a deal they hate that they’re threatening Ryan’s job.
