Brietbart vs. Paul Ryan

I'm enjoying this.

CNN Money

The timing of Breitbart's publication is telling. In recent days, the pro-Trump site has run one negative story after another about the House GOP's health care bill, despite the president's endorsement of the legislation.

Breitbart, which was previously run by current White House strategist Steve Bannon, has reserved most of its negative coverage on the bill for Ryan. The site has derisively branded the legislation as "House Speaker Paul Ryan's Obamacare 2.0 plan."

Breitbart is a longtime adversary to the political establishment and has never been a Ryan booster. In October, The Hill reported that Bannon frequently referred to Ryan as "the enemy."

It's an attempt to purge "enemies", i.e. anyone who would question Trump. Ryan is horrible but he's not in the authoritarian circle.
