'Just Stop With This Craziness': Tim Ryan's Speech Against Kevin McCarthy Viewed 1 Million Times
By James Crump On 7/29/21 at 5:59 AM EDT


Tim Ryan's explosive speech against House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's comments on face masks has been viewed more than 1 million times as the Ohio representative was widely praised on social media for his remarks.

During a speech on Wednesday, Ryan spent his allotted time speaking about Republican lawmakers who had criticized Capitol physician Brian Monahan after he announced that face masks would be required again in the House amid the spread of the contagious Delta variant of COVID-19.

Monahan confirmed that representatives would have to wear masks in the House side of the Capitol in a memo on Tuesday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that it was now recommending that even vaccinated people wear masks in high-risk areas.

'Immature And Appalling': Tim Ryan Laces Into Kevin McCarthy After GOP Leader Mocks Mask Mandate

1. I had to stand up directly in front of my TV.... yelling..... YES! YES!

I had listened to McCarthy's crazy loud crying and whining about having to wear a mask and was hoping Ryan would respond. I wasn't disappointed.

[malaise]

2. Get thee to the greatest page

The adults are speaking - STFU Kevin Moron!

[JohnnyRingo]

12. I just hope Ohio voters get thee asses to the polls for him.

He's getting his seat taken away through republican redistricting and could be Ohio's new junior senator, replacing Rob Portman when he retires next year. He and Sherrod Brown would make me proud of my state again.

[MiHale]

3. Way too many disgraceful actions and words...

from the republicans.

[berni_mccoy]

4. Tim Ryan is an excellent speaker.

[SallyHemmings]

5. Spot on!

McCarthy will never hold the speaker’s gavel because he is an unprincipled ass.

[JohnnyRingo]

11. You're right

McCarthy is in the obvious position to adopt the Speaker's podium for the Republicans the same as Prince Harry is in line for the English Throne.

Unless the party is in more disarray than I thought, Kevin McCarthy will be pushed aside if they're ever lucky enough to take the House.

[Danmel]

16. Just chiming in to say it's good to see you Johnny

Glad you are feeling better

[JohnnyRingo]

18. Yes I am.

Thanx! Every day is an adventure.

[Champp]

6. "Immature and appalling"

There you have modern Republicans in a nutshell. Although for accuracy one is forced by the facts to add "dishonest and untruthful."

Sad.

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. and don't forget "immoral and unconscionable"

[wendyb-NC]

7. Absolutely right

Tim Ryan, boldly calls out, the GQP'ers, misaligned umbrage over going back to wearing masks indoors.

Their dizzying array of loudly spouted falsehoods, non-sense, and deliberate misinterpretations of freedom, and individual rights , in the face of a deadly pandemic which threaten the well being of everything on the planet, needs to be as boldly and emphatically called out more often.

[Pepsidog]

8. Ok that's good. These are the times we miss the fire of Weiner

[Janbdwl72]

9. That's the best speech by Ryan ever on the House floor

Hopefully this is an omen of things to come in his campaign. Best wishes to Ryan next year.

[ananda]

10. Well done! All Dems need to speak out like this!

Thank you, Tim Ryan!

[JohnnyRingo]

13. Ryan learned the three minute speech of outrage from his mentor.

He worked for the great Jim Traficant when he left college. Traficant was the master of the 3 minute speech that often ended in "beam me up!".

Tim Ryan is like Traficant without the corruption baggage and I hope he becomes our next junior senator.

[sarchasm]

14. 100% correct!

[GoodRaisin]

17. Thanks Tim Ryan for saying what needs to be said.

McCarthy needs to go. He is too spineless to be a leader of any kind.

[monkeyman1]

25. McCarthy is a serious risk to Americans mental health & physical well being !!

[Wild blueberry]

19. Thank you, Tim Ryan!

Excellent speech.

[crickets]

20. Wonderful, Tim Ryan! More like this, please. ⭐

[bucolic_frolic]

21. That is absolutely so shrewd

Tim Ryan is venting the frustration and exasperation of non-magats in America, and labeling the GOP in the process as "crazy". Truth once spoken has legs.

Most people think Trump, McCarthy, McConnell, MTG, election fraudits, the insurrection to be crazy.

It's too early to be certain, but it looks to me like we're putting the crazy back in the bottle with the committee hearings, and just general fatigue with all that Trump wrought. His nonsense is not aging well.

[Orangeutan]

22. I would have been OK w/ Ryan as the Dem nominee for Prez

[Justice matters.]

23. Tim Ryan is definitly future Presidential Material.

[MustLoveBeagles]

24. K&R

[Cha]

26. It's "beneath" Dems but NOT Zombies like

like fucking cheap ass McMoron.

[calimary]

27. Excellent speech!

Bravo, Tim Ryan!

You speak for a whole lot of us.

[Blue Owl]
