For comparison his response for Giffords being shot in the back of the head.

“I am deeply saddened by today’s tragic shooting of my colleague Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, members of her staff and residents in Tucson, Arizona. My thoughts and prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords and her family, along with those impacted by this senseless act of violence.”

Really. I’m waiting for a ‘hopes and prayers’ statement from Ted Cruz. Do they give out an Oscar for Most Insincere Condolences? Cause if so, the only competition would come from Steve King of Iowa.

“An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.”

Do you suppose there might be a few Muslim-Americans, citizens of color, and American Sikhs who wonder why Ryan never said this before when “one of us” was attacked by an angry white guy with a gun?

“You know, every day we come here to test and to challenge each other,” he said. “We feel so deeply about the things that we fight for and the things that we believe in, at times our emotions can clearly get the best of us. We’re all imperfect. But we do not shed our humanity when we enter this chamber.”

This, as they vote to remove 24 million people from ACA. There has to be hypocrisy somewhere in this statement.
