By criticizing President Trump for pardoning Joe Arpaio this weekend, Paul Ryan seems to have drawn the wrath of Breitbart.

A spokesperson for Ryan released a statement last night in which the House Speaker joined those condemning Trump’s decision to grant clemency to Arpaio. The controversial Arizona sheriff was convicted for criminal contempt in connection with his racial-profiling practices, and Trump reportedly took personal interest in Arpaio’s case months before the latter was punished for violating court orders.

As Breitbart addressed Ryan’s critiques, they published an article called “Paul Ryan Throws in with Leftists to Attack President Trump’s Pardon of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.” The article explored how Ryan was siding with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer on this issue, and it also brought up other past moments where Ryan aligned with Democrats in their attempts to undermine Trump.

Ryan is the highest-ranking conservative to condemn the Arpaio pardon, but the criticism isn’t exclusive among the GOP. Arizona senators John McCain and Jeff Flake (both Republicans) have also expressed concern over Trump’s first pardon.

1. The "wrath of Breitbart" is a drop of Bannon piss in the ocean

He has largely been rendered irrelevant.

Yeah, I know...the Breitbart "base" is still intact.

The rest of the country, however, is more than sick of their horseshit.

2. Other possible headline: lunatic fringe publication has hissy fit over defense of Constitution.

3. Breitbart considers most Republicans to be lefitsts

They are insane.
