Former GOP Congressman calls out Ryan for lying about GOP unwillingness to impeach Trump

Found this minutes ago via a tweet from Jake Tapper:




Former GOP congressman who called on Bill Clinton to resign and voted to impeach him -->




Tapper was responding to this tweet from Bob Inglis:




.@SpeakerRyan you know this isn't true. You know that you would be inquiring into impeachment if this were a D. http://thehill.com/homenews/house/336957-ryan-republicans-wouldnt-be-trying-to-impeach-democratic-president-accused-of#.WTqjzIsSCh8.twitter



Article from The Hill that Inglis was referring to:

Ryan denies GOP would try to impeach Dem accused of same actions as Trump
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/336957-ryan-republicans-wouldnt-be-trying-to-impeach-democratic-president-accused-of#.WTqjzIsSCh8.twitter



Two followup tweets from Inglis:





.@SpeakerRyan, no, it isn't time to draft Articles of Impeachment. But it is time to pursue the Russia investigation with vigor.






.@SpeakerRyan and if the investigation leads to the Pres., his family or his campaign, so be it. Don't obstruct justice. Put country first.
