Breitbart Releases Ryan Tape: “Will Not Defend” Trump

“Let’s say you live in Woodward County, Oklahoma, you’re 60 years old, and you earn $50,000 a year”, Oliver said.

Beyond that, Democrats will probably look to lobby four Republican Senators – Rob Portman of Ohio, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Cory Gardner of Colorado, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska – who criticized Ryan’s bill when an early draft of it surfaced weeks ago.

“CBO and JCT estimate that enacting the legislation would reduce federal deficits by $337 billion over the 2017-2026 period”, the CBO said.

The House Budget Committee and the House Rules Committee also must approve the legislation before it is cleared for a floor vote. The GOP holds 52 seats, making every vote critical.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the GOP plan to replace Obamacare would lead to a spike in the number of uninsured Americans. Th…

Adding to the chaos is the fact that Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, was formerly the head of Breitbart.

“I am not going to defend Donald Trump – not now, not in the future”, Ryan said in the audio obtained by Breitbart News, the right-wing website that has negatively covered the health-care plan. The contents of the call were widely reported after its occurrence in October, but this is the first time anyone has actually heard the tape itself.

Another Trump-ally, Chris Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax, wrote online that Trump should instead focus on a proposal that expands Medicaid and Medicare, rather than the AHCA. “If you don’t want to get health care, we’re not going to make you do it”.

This isn’t a healthcare bill. “So I do think he has a lot riding on this”. The game plan is pretty simple: When something goes wrong, shield Trump and point the finger at the party establishment.

In news interviews, many Republicans still supporting TrumpCare are giving answers about squirrelly as White House press secretary Sean Spicer. House Republicans and the Trump Administration argue further amendments to the bill allow more competition by permitting the purchase of insurance across state lines, which is prohibited now. Under Bannon’s leadership, Breitbart consistently attacked Paul Ryan, as the site now seems to be doing once again.

The Congressional Budget Office projects that 14 million people would lose coverage next year under the House bill dismantling former President Barack Obama’s health care law.

RYAN: Not only did we say, someday, we’re going to buy a vehicle.

It is unclear which members of the Republican Party Ryan is addressing on the call, which is described by a voice introducing it as containing “a record number“. [This is] the first step of many. Personally, you need to decide what’s best for you. “It’s not a final bill”. “Paul Ryan is one of the best liars I’ve ever seen in the world”.

The timing of Breitbart’s publication is telling.

“There were some stumbles out of the gate”, the person said.

Kinzinger said that Breitbart released audio that everyone knew existed, because Ryan also made the comments publicly. “Whether they realize that or not”.
