I wonder how the sniveling little coward responded. Personally, I would not have been able to speak to him without wanting to choke him to death.

private flights in the future.

she is not his constituent.
His constituents are the wealthy he get tax breaks for.

(32,652 posts)9. Yep. He's been confronted many times & couldn't care less.
Paul Ryan is irredeemable. He was featured at a CNN healthcare town hall where a Republican told him he would be dead were it not for Obamacare. Despite his own history of needing a "handout," he has zero empathy for others.
