(Daily Caller) Republican Texas Rep. Troy Nehls ripped former House Speaker and Fox News board member Paul Ryan on Tuesday over his comments made about former President Donald Trump.
Nehls released a statement to CNN’s Chief Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju on Tuesday in response to a comment from Ryan made earlier in the day during a Fox News interview. In a social post on X (formerly known as Twitter), posted by Raju, the Texas Republican lawmaker slammed Ryan and advocated that he should be kicked “out of the party” as a response to his comments.
“Paul Ryan you’re a piece of garbage. You’re a piece of garbage and we should kick you out of the party. … Don’t go spouting your mouth off and saying that you’re a conservative. You’re spitting in the face of the leader of our party. I mean grow up a little bit,” Nehls told Raju.
Earlier in the day on Fox News, Ryan slammed Trump for being “unfit for office,” claiming that the former president was willing to put himself “above the Constitution.”
“I voted for him in 2016, hoping that there was gonna be a different kind of person in office. I do think character is a really important issue if you put yourself above the Constitution, as he had done,” Ryan said.
