“Nah, I’m not getting any questions.
Even though I’m a public servant as a member of Congress–
I refuse to answer questions about my voting record–
especially when it involves you Brown People personally.” Ryan said.

Ryan: “Go away kid. Can’t you see I’m trying to make money here?”

Its rather amazing, given how Paul was roundly pilloried by everybody for his dine and dash moment, combined with the very real numbers that require anyone wanting to be in the White House has to get well over 1/3 of the Hispanic vote, that these braintrusts still don’t have a canned response developed for these inevitable meetings.

And lets face it, this book is Ryan’s declaration of intent to throw his hat into the ring.

Marking the second time that Paul Ryan has essentially fled from a brown person asking him about immigration. Keep it up, guys.

He has already made the money. This fluff pieces that every candidate writes now are just part of the fundraising process. The publisher has a guaranteed profit as a group of donors commit to buying up all the books.

Its essentially money laundering that has become a tried and true part of your election process.

Wasn’t it Rand Paul who did the ‘Dine and Dash’? Paul Ryan is of ‘Cleaning Clean Pots at a Soup Kitchen’ fame.

Both are cowards…

I said Paul. When I refer to the failed VP candidate from 2012 I call him Ryan. Both of their names are a little confusing with each other.

Ryan has a really bizarre history of interaction with constituents and even worse when it comes to someone asking a hard question. Notice that the man asking the question was “escorted away”. Ryan loves to do that. Its usually followed by him making some pathetic trash talk jokes as they are led off.

In Wisconsin, he used to charge people money to come to his town hall meetings. And would ban, often through the direct use of police removing people, people who were prone to disagreeing with him. He continued the same practices pretty much all the way through the 2012 presidential election.

This guy was lucky he just got escorted away, and not dragged off in handcuffs.

So the big man can only, for example, sit in a big armchair next to, ummm, say, Mittens, and take fawning, fake questions while receiving strange, unfounded, pervy adulation from other blue-suited white men…Interesting, cowardly, typical.

Their lack of moral courage and obfuscation of reality makes it hard to tell them apart. :wink:

Well at least he didn’t lie about it. Am I right?

"“Do you want to deport me and my sister?”

“Thanks for coming. Read my book,” Ryan replied as another staffer escorted the activist and his sister away."

That Hispanic outreach by the GOP at work.

Paul used to have cops literally drag the seniors out of his town hall meetings. After that he started charging people to attend his town hall meeting. That’s Lyin Ryan for ya’. Presidential material sho nuff.
