Showing Original Post only (View all)HOT MIC! Rep. Ryan, Sp. of the House, just whispered "Waste of my FUCKING Time" after presser [View all]
Just now on CNN, Rep. Ryan upon completion of his presser for the "Weekly GOP Leadership" announcements, walking off the stage could be heard whispering "Waste of my FUCKING time" (emphasis added by me to demonstrate his emphasis on the word).
This shows you what the GOP really thinks about communicating their Agenda to the public.
UPDATE: someone on YouTube caught it:
And another:
UPDATE 2: Pelosi tweeted out that Ryan said it. Ryan's staff is firing back saying he didn't. To be fair, it's not possible to definitively say he said it. But it certainly sounded like him. Also, just because he was not at the podium doesn't mean he wasn't mic'd or a mic wasn't near when it was said. Raw Story and other places are picking up the story now. All-in-all this will blow over, but if Ryan did say it, it's telling about his current state of mind. I sense things are going to get ugly, real ugly, soon.

OP
When I heard it, I was pretty sure it was him. Sounded like his voice, especially on the foul part.

In his defense: There is no GOP leadership anymore. There is only Trump and his cabal.

I think it sounded exactly like him. And the apology was likely forced (unwisely)

Not accurate please delete. Pelosi's aide already apologized after realizing it wasn't Ryan.
