'Repeal and go f*** yourself': House Speaker Paul Ryan is unwittingly trolled by man posing for a pi

Source: Daily Mail





House Speaker Paul Ryan was unknowingly trolled at a Wisconsin event just days after House Republicans narrowly voted to pass a bill to replace Obamacare. 
Twitter user @Minnysconsin took a picture with Ryan at the Kiwanis Club fundraiser in Wisconsin on Saturday and posted it to the social media site. The man, known only by J on his profile, was wearing a shirt that said: 'Repeal and go f*** yourself. -GOP'.
The shirt is merchandise from the political podcast, Pod Save America and the Tweet said: 'Couple friends of the pod hanging out this morning.' 

@Minnysconsin also tagged three of the co-hosts of the podcast: Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor.
Since the picture was posted on Saturday morning, it has been liked and retweeted thousands of times, with responses from the Pod Save America co-hosts, the podcast's Twitter page and others who were entertained by the man's trolling. 
Co-host Jon Lovett tweeted back: 'Best photo I've ever seen.' While Tommy Vietor responded: 'Heroic work!'

Not sticking up for Ryan (hate him!) but he's not stupid.

I've seen so many photoshopped pics out there that look absolutely real.

Just sayin'

I'm talking about the one that Paul Ryan was wearing underneath the apron in the photo.

Go Cowboys!

He would have been more attentive to what was on the man's shirt but he was a little worried about the clean pots, pans and dishes in the kitchen he "needed" to wash.
