Paul Ryan under fire for ‘actively thwarting’ Trump
‘We need someone in there who will stop giving a blank check to the left’s priorities’

Days after announcing his repeat challenge to House Speaker Paul Ryan in the upcoming Republican primary, Paul Nehlen told WND he is running again because he believes Ryan is failing President Trump as well as the voters of Ryan’s own district.
“Paul Ryan is actively thwarting the president,” Nehlen told WND. “Ryan could have had a vote on full repeal of Obamacare, but he chose to bring a cadaver and see if Trump could breathe life into it. We are funding everything that was funded under Obama with the 2015 omnibus spending bill and the latest omnibus spending bill.”
Like many conservatives, Nehlen expressed frustration that the “unified Republican government” Speaker Ryan bragged about in November hasn’t seemed to accomplish anything.
Indeed, Nehlen said the Republican Congress has often been counter-productive. And the populist challenger, who recently published the story of his previous underdog campaign in the new book “Wage The Battle,” placed the blame for the Republican Congress’s perceived failure squarely on the speaker of the House.
“Ryan worked with Barack Obama to push job-killing bad trade deals President Trump has been fighting, and Ryan’s still trying to pass them,” Nehlen said. “We also have the nightmare of the health-care bill. Speaker Ryan failed to deliver a workable Obamacare repeal, and the Freedom Caucus had to intervene and save the day. Finally, Speaker Ryan refuses to fund the border wall.”
Nehlen also blasted Ryan for continuously funding left-wing priorities, even while the speaker is apparently unwilling to fund immigration enforcement and the border wall that defined the president’s entire candidacy.
