GOP Cannibalism: I'm Lovin' It!



On Thursday, conservative media outlets continued to grapple with GOP infighting over the proposed Republican Affordable Care Act replacement.

Many publications suggested that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was responsible for the discord. In “Paul Ryan’s Self-Inflicted, Healthcare Disaster,” for example, Heat Street concluded,

Maybe Democrats have been right all along, maybe the GOP really is the party of stupid. Only a group of idiots could roll out such a poorly-crafted piece of legislation that it actually makes the old Obamacare look good. Ryan’s not standing in the corner with a dunce cap on, he’s proudly wearing it and smiling in front of the American people.


The Daily Caller, meanwhile, promoted a combative interview between Ryan and Tucker Carlson, emphasizing Carlson’s questions about congressional inaction under Ryan’s direction. National Review also took up this angle, writing that “the GOP has proven gun-shy” before going on to argue, “This is the kind of thing that happens when a party has no leaders.”
