Trump "Endorses" Jeanine Pirro's Call For Paul Ryan To Step Down

Appears the struggle between establishment RINO's has just had the temperature turned up. Calls for Ryan to step down (like his useless predecessor) are becoming louder. Prepare to watch some fireworks.

While Trump has urged people to watch TV shows in the past, typically it was when the president himself was appearing on them. However in a twist, Pirro suggested that she had not coordinated her statement with Trump in advance.

"I have not spoken with the president about any of this," Pirro said of her call for Ryan to step down on her show, where president's counter-terrorism adviser Sebastian Gorka also appeared on Saturday evening.

Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro, whose show President Trump urged his followers on Twitter to watch earlier in the day, opened her program at 9pm on Saturday by calling for Speaker Paul Ryan's resignation.

Any idea on his potential replacements?

We're really supposed to believe Trump didn't set this up?

Trumpkins said the media was the enemy of the people so why would we be watching her show? Oh yeah I forgot it's the enemy when it isn't pushing his agenda. So will Pirro now be Trumps mouthpiece on FOX seeing how Judge got the boot? Also poor Hannity must be heartbroken he didn't get chosen to do this even after all that butt kissing. SAD!!!!

Good let them turn & devour each other like the vermin they are.

See he thought he was being clever by not picking Hannity...

Flynn under the bus, Manafort under the bus, Privus under the bus,Sessions under the bus, Ryan under the bus, Stone under the bus, that is one way to drain the swamp! But not a great way to engender party loyalty. Everyone in Trumps administration must be waiting for the ban hammer.

Imo....Trump is looking for a dignified way to bail. Russiagate has blown up in his face and he knows it.

She is kind of annoying, keeps that same "I know all" smirk on her face just like the other very annoying Rachel Maddow, so if anyone really thinks her words are driven by Trump that is really stretching it. This whole replacement issue with the Republicans is not an issue at all. This is how it is suppose to work, not the "vote on it before you read it" Democrats supreme failure. Fast foods, Fast internet, Fast car... now Fast Government... need to let them hash it out to actually get a good plan in place.

Word is Judge Pirro had surveillance transcripts but Fox News lawyers pulled it. This was not the story that was supposed to run.

When Pirro is on..I always feel like one of her eyes is watching me..spooky she makes my skin crawl.

Pirro is right.

Ryan was the one responsible for this bill. This bill did not have everything Trump wanted or that we needed. Trump was promised the rest in a phase 2 or 3, but I don't think that Ryan had any intention of doing what Trump wanted. And in the long run, Congress is in control of what gets to the President's desk for approval.

I am glad this particular bill failed. I think it showed Trump that Ryan was using him to push his own agenda.

I never trusted Ryan. I don't think that he actually has Trump's back.

ETA: Trump also needs to keep a close eye on Reince Priebus. Everyone from the original swamp is not to be totally trusted.

I really hate the way that woman talks. Her tone just turns me right off. Does anyone actually listen to that woman, I would question anything she decides on, she is way too opinionated.

Ryan is a decent person for the speaker of the house, so he could not get a bill through that was flawed, at least he tried. He seems like one of the first consciousness speakers we have had in years. By this being brought back to the drawing board and some compromises being made, it may get to be better than it is now. As long as it doesn't wind up being like Obamacare's wasteful fattening of the medical industry, I think it will be better.

That is the problem.

The bill was flawed. He should have know that, and should not have tried. His responsibility was to be sure the bill was perfect, or at least was a strong step towards the final goal, before pushing it.

I agree with everything in your post. I've never trusted Ryan, either, and I don't believe he has the backs of the American people, let alone Trump's. He has his own agenda, and it's not in our best interest.

She preaches truth, I enjoy watching her. Thanks for the posting, Star plus Flag.

Trump fails, blame anybody else.

It seems like Ryan and the congressional Republicans did all the leg work. Trump's team certainly didn't come up with the bill. You can call it a bad replacement but it was a replacement none the less. All I saw Trump do was take ownership and make threats to get support. It backfired.

When will the excuses end?

Well maybe if he didn't support ramming it down the public's throat before a CBO report could be released he could have taken the time to understand the bill and its effects in order to make an informed decision on how to support the bill. I mean he even had the nerve to call into question its findings before they were even released. Like he knew they'd be bad and was just setting the narrative a head of time.

But then again, expecting Trump to read and consider something is just absurd. Of course he was going to get burned by governing based on trust and not his own intelligence.
