Paul Ryan On Eastwood Speech: Clint Being Clint

Paul Ryan On Eastwood Speech: Clint Being Clint

Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan on Friday responded to Clint Eastwood's baffling speech at the GOP convention, saying the the actor and filmmaker's address was not a distraction.

Following a campaign rally in Richmond, Va., Ryan told a local television station, “I think Clint Eastwood was just being Clint Eastwood ... One of the most profound things that Clint said was that 23 million people are out of work, struggling to find jobs. It’s unacceptable."

I'm pretty sure he doesn't know "Clint" well enough to know who tf he was being last night.
