TWITTER RIDICULES PAUL RYAN FOR TRYING TO SCHOOL OCASIO-CORTEZ: 'WHO THE HELL WANTS USELESS, SOULLESS, SPINELESS FRAUDULENT ADVICE'

BY CHRISTINA ZHAO ON 4/3/19 AT 9:17 PM EDT

Twitter users ridiculed former House Republican House speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday after he said he tried to give freshman Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) advice on being a good congresswoman, but he doesn’t believe he took her remarks on board.

“I talked to her, AOC — everybody calls her AOC… She’s the youngest person now there. I gave her just a few little tips on just being a good member of Congress, new. I don’t think she really listened to a thing I said,” Ryan said on Tuesday during a speaking engagement at Forward Janesville’s annual dinner in Florida. “Take it easy, just watch things for a while, don’t ruffle any — see how it works first.”

Clearly, the 29-year-old Democrat has not considered Ryan’s advice since she entered Congress in January. Upon her arrival on Capitol Hill, Ocasio-Cortez has quickly become one of the most famous, outspoken lawmakers in U.S. politics. The self-described democratic socialist even made the cover of Time last month, with the magazine dubbing her “The Phenom.”

When news broke of Paul’s comments that his words fell on deaf ears, Americans took to Twitter to ridicule the Republican for trying, with some pointing out that he was the “worst Speaker” who couldn’t even get his own caucus on board with his proposals.

“You know what's better than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez not listening to a thing Paul Ryan said?” writer and comedian Nick Jack Pappas tweeted. “The fact that none of us have to listen to a single thing he says ever again.”

1. Not surprising, Paul Ryan's first piece of advice to the

new House member is to submit herself for spine removal.

[unblock]

2. as a newly ex-congressperson, ryan should take it easy, just watch things for a while, ....

don't ruffle any -- see how it works first.

3. this should be on her campaign literature the next time she runs

"Clearly, the 29-year-old Democrat has not considered Ryan’s advice since she entered Congress in January."

4. Paul Ryan, a man who has lived off of government largesse since before he could vote

But once he got into a position of power, assiduously worked to pull the ladder up after him so no one else in bad circumstances could succeed.

Yeah, that's a role model.

5. Lyin' Ryan's advice is sincere rethug advice: Take it easy. No need to work hard. Furthermore,

whatever Dems do or have done that is constructive, you must be sure to fight to dismantle. Lastly, be sure to extract as much money as you can for yourself by using your position to scam/privatize government.

6. Ryan's Silly Mansplaining Shows He Wrongly Believes He's Still Relevant

People couldn’t care less about anything Ryan has to say.

7. I'm no AOC fan

Far from it, in fact. But why would anyone listen to Paul Ryan, the weakest, most incompetent Speaker in modern times?

[TeamPooka]

8. You know who else never listened to Ryan? Republicans. He couldn't get them to do anything he asked

9. Now Paul Ryan can go back to pretending he's Christian again.
