John Legend Curses Out Paul Ryan For Posting Father’s Day Video Amidst Border Separations: ‘Seriously, F*ck You’

by Aidan McLaughlin | 6:41 pm, June 16th, 2018

Singer John Legend blasted House Speaker Paul Ryan on Saturday after the Wisconsin Republican posted a video to Twitter in celebration of Father’s Day.

Ryan, who is retiring from public office after this year’s midterm elections, posted a video titled “How Becoming a Father Changed My Life” the eve of Father’s day.




Legend, a musician and outspoken political activist, issued a harsh rebuke to the Republican lawmaker in light of the Trump administration policy of separating migrant children from their families at the southern border.

I noticed it when Ryan was running as Romney's VP - she had all the signs.

Whenever she was at an event with her husband, she looked terrified when he spoke to her or glared at her - which he did a lot.

There were also incidents when their kids were on-stage with them, and she was trying to keep them from running around, acting like kids. The looks Ryan gave her as she tried to get the kids together and out of his way - well, she was obviously terrified.

I don't know if she's been physically abused - but she's definitely been emotionally abused, and it shows.

of John Legend but I do like some of his music. I thought little of his wife because I did not know anything about her. The last year or so has changed that so much. These are good people, the best kind of people who care about other people. I will be a fan forever.

while brown families are ripped apart.

Good for John Legend.

And Ryan's Twitter TL must be a mess, and deservedly so, when the comments outnumber the likes by such a wide margin.

Starver".. he didn't get that epithet for nothing.

He said.. "..it changed his life.." Does that meant he wasn't a sociopath before his kid was born? I know that's harsh but Paul Ryan is a horrible human being and he's made a lot of people suffer for it.

I feel sorry for a kid growing up in that environment.

Aloha, CakeGrrl
