To Watch Show That Demands Ryan Step Down

Trump told Americans Saturday morning to watch “Justice Jeanine”
on Fox News. Jeanine Pirro started her show with a segment calling for House
Speaker Paul Ryan to “step down.”
Trump publicly expressed confidence in Ryan after the White
House-backed Obamacare replacement bill had to be pulled as there weren’t
enough votes. However, there have been reports that Trump
and his allies are upset about Ryan’s performance as speaker.
Trump directed people through a tweet to watch Pirro, a
former county court judge and district attorney. Her “opening statement” was,
“Paul Ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house. The reason? He failed to
deliver the votes on his healthcare bill.”
She said that “Americans elected the one man they believed could
do it,” and that Speaker Ryan came in with his “swagger and experience” and
sold Trump a “bill of goods which ends up a complete and total failure.”
“I want to be clear this is not on Trump,” Pirro added.
The Fox News host insinuated that Ryan wanted the bill to fail
as he knows “very well” the “inside workings of Washington” and the
different demands of factions in Congress. “What was your agenda?” Pirro asked
of Ryan. She said that his “loyalty was always in question.”
The former judge said that she hadn’t spoken with Trump about
“any of this,” but that she could “only imagine that he and his aides took
on healthcare because they believe you had his back and you didn’t.”
“The American people won’t forget this and neither should Trump,”
Pirro said.
