Double-talking Tim Ryan viciously bashes his party & mentor Pelosi now he's being exposed

During his interview with CNN, Tim Ryan also decided to lambaste his former mentor Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who has been one of the strongest, most persistent, resilient and relentless forces against Donald Trump, his cronies and the self-serving GOP. Tim Ryan may be able to justify his sour grapes for Pelosi even though when he arrived in Washington, she hooked him up with a slot on the House Democratic Steering Committee which he used to advance his career. But now she’s hurt his feelings. She crushed him in last November’s internal Democratic Party House Leader bid.

When Don Lemon asked Tim Ryan if he thought Pelosi was more toxic than Trump, Ryan actually said yes.

“The honest answer (opposed to when he’s giving a dishonest answer) is, in some areas of the country, yes, she is.”


Given her integrity and the great respect Pelosi has earned from her colleagues over years in office, Ryan’s statement couldn’t have been more repulsive. For Ryan to even compare Leader Pelosi to a lying, scamming, hateful, tax-evading thug and sexual predator like Trump—is incredulous. And then to say she’s more toxic than Trump, on any level, is outrageous, especially coming from a Democratic lawmaker. You see, Tim Ryan thinks he could do a better job than Pelosi even though Republicans have the majority in the House, Senate, Oval Office and now Supreme Court. Ryan seems to think he has the magic answer when in reality—no Democratic leader has a fair shot under current circumstances.

Election Results Officially Look Invalid After Voting Machine Hack Confirmed Across 39 States

The new details, buttressed by a classified National Security Agency document recently disclosed by the Intercept, show the scope of alleged hacking that federal investigators are scrutinizing as they look into whether Trump campaign officials may have colluded in the efforts. But they also paint a worrisome picture for future elections: The newest portrayal of potentially deep vulnerabilities in the U.S.’s patchwork of voting technologies comes less than a week after former FBI Director James Comey warned Congress that Moscow isn’t done meddling.’

‘Such operations need not change votes to be effective. In fact, the Obama administration believed that the Russians were possibly preparing to delete voter registration information or slow vote tallying in order to undermine confidence in the election. That effort went far beyond the carefully timed release of private communications by individuals and parties.’

Despite ongoing false claims by the president of the United States as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia made no such attempts (Trump even tried to lay the blame on China, or possibly an overweight man sitting at home in his bed), few U.S. officials privy to the evidence compiled still have doubts.

A recent leak by a federal contractor with security clearance in Georgia, Reality Winner, showed that the NSA already had evidence that Russia attempted to hack into voting machines in Georgia. Although intelligence officials are remain unconvinced that any votes were changed, the new evidence that those same attempts occurred in all but 11 states in the U.S. raises all new concerns.
