House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Wednesday that he and White House adviser Steve Bannon have their differences, but Ryan insisted that they are united behind a common goal.

During an interview for "NewsHour," PBS' Judy Woodruff noted that Breitbart, the right wing website that Bannon used to lead, opposed Ryan in his last Republican primary. Woodruff asked Ryan about his relationship with Bannon. Ryan said that he doesn't know Bannon well, having only met him two or three times.

"He’s not someone I have a history with. Obviously, I didn’t know him when he was opposing me all those times. We’re different kinds of conservatives — that’s something that I can safely say, I think." Ryan said. "But we’re serving a purpose, which is to get this agenda passed."

The speaker said that he and Bannon agree on Republicans' agenda right now.

1. Yeah, Bannon is completely bonkers and you're just

sorta nuts.

[world wide wally]

2. And that's all he needs to say as far as I'm concerned

[JHB]

3. "We're both swamp water, but he's 'muddy' while I'm merely 'brackish'."

[GaYellowDawg]

11. WELL. PLAYED.

[struggle4progress]

4. "With these mirrors I can create the illusion of daylight between us"

[TrekLuver]

5. Newsflash for you asshole Ryan...he wants to DESTROY you.

[BSdetect]

6. K&R

He's the same as you ryan don't try to kid us with your pathetic BS

[Johonny]

7. If Ryan somehow survives the Trump years without destroying America or becoming hated by his base

then he's a genius...

[Initech]

8. A white supremacist and an Ayn Rand fan, what could go wrong?

[hatrack]

9. Yes, Paul: you're a spineless parasite, not unlike a lamprey or leech . . .

Bannon, OTOH, is a bloated armchair Nazi in need of a firehose to remove the carapace of filth, whiskers and hate that make up his safe space.

Very different!

10. Ryan is the type of conservative that wants to kill your grandma by cutting off her medicare

Bannon is the type of conservative that wants to kill your grandma if she's not White and Christian.

See, there's a big difference.
