"He obviously misspoke..."

Ryan misspeaks a lot.

Spewing the BS like all Rs about how horrible the stimulus was, while requesting stimulus funds. Initially said he did not, when the actual letters came to light, "gee, I just sign what the shove in my face ..."

Every time they excuse his lies, it is based on his being incompetent.
