Trump Tweet Hyping "Judge Jeanine" Show Wasnt Criticism of Paul Ryan, Aides Say

[Miles Archer]

The tweet seemed fairly innocuous — if a bit commercial — at first but it took on deeper meaning when host Jeanine Pirro used the top of her show "Justice With Judge Jeanine" to slam Ryan over his handling of the failed health care overhaul last week, going as far as calling on the House speaker to step down.

But White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said on Sunday that the president's tweet was not an attempt to undermine Ryan.

"He wanted to show support of her show. That's it," Spicer said.

Sunday morning, aides to House Speaker Ryan, called the president's tweet to promote Pirro "a fluke, not a conspiracy."

1. Bull

2. Isn't it illegal for a government employee to promote a private business?

Isn't that what got Kellyanne Conway in trouble? Not that it matters to this bunch.

6. Yes

How much Trouble did KellyAnn Conway get into for promoting Ivanka's clothing line?

Not much, admittedly, but the ethics office wants more punishment for her

3. Bullshit. That Pirro rant was a guided missle right at Ryan

Doesn't bother me at all to point out Ryan's failings but trump is as big a failure as Ryan in the health care debacle.

Pirro allowed herself to be used by trump to shift the blame away from him and entirely on to Ryan, his typical pattern.

Wonder what he promised Pirro?

4. Bullshit. He knows Ryan is close to taking his job from him. nt

5. More lying

Has the idiot in chief ever tweeted for people to watch her show before? If not then someone needs to ask Spice boy why the sudden interest in support of that trashy show. I have never seen that show before. This so called judge comes across as another bat shit crazy repub.
