This was not a good news day for the GOP:

“Are Democrats complicit?” Dickerson asked Ryan.

“Well, they’re certainly not helping us keep the government open,” Ryan replied glibly. “They’re certainly not helping us on a solution to immigration. When you shut down the government and stop negotiating on immigration reform, they are complicit with not getting things done.”

“But are they complicit in murders?” Dickerson pressed.

“I’m not going to comment,” Ryan insisted after initially commenting. “I just saw that. I don’t know if that’s necessarily productive. It’s not secret the president has strong views on immigration. But what is not productive is a pointless government shutdown that the Senate Democrats have foisted on this country.”

Ryan is now the second Republican today caught on camera admitting he had no idea that Trump had dropped an atom bomb on the GOP’s whole line about just wanting to keep the government open. And the second one who, when confronted about this toxic piece of shit, avoided making any comment about it at all.
