This morning on Fox News Sunday, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus addressed the fact that President Trump promoted a Fox News program that began with the host calling for Paul Ryan to step down as Speaker.

Yesterday Trump tweeted that everyone should watch Judge Jeanine Pirro‘s show and she led her program going off on Ryan.

Chris Wallace asked Priebus, “Does the president want Paul Ryan to resign as Speaker?” Priebus said no and told Wallace the tweet was “more coincidental.” Wallace responded, “Come on.”

Priebus insisted that “there was no pre-planning here” and said that the president was simply doing Pirro a “favor” by promoting her show.

Reince Priebus lies after GOP debacle: ‘Obamacare is imploding and exploding and every other adjective’

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus asserted on Sunday that President Barack Obama’s health care reform law is “imploding and exploding” — even though the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has said otherwise.

Fox News host Chris Wallace noted in an interview with Priebus that President Donald Trump had blamed Democrats after his replacement for the Affordable Care Act failed to muster enough Republican support to pass the House.

“The president never reached out to Democrats,” Wallace said. “You never offered Democrats a compromise. So, how can you blame Democrats for this?”

“Well, look, Obamacare is imploding and it is exploding and every other adjective you can provide,” Priebus insisted. “It’s going south. And it would be nice to get some Democrats on board.”

“But you’re right,” Trump’s chief of staff admitted. “At the end of the day, I believe that it’s time for the (Republican Party) to start governing.”

1. Trumpenfuhrer might not want Ryan out, but Bannon and the other skinheads do. Nt

[Ms. Toad]

2. So the ethical violation of using the presidency for free advertising

is preferable to expressly acknowledging he intended to suggest Ryan should leave.

[George II]

10. Good point - another case of "free advertising" by the trump administration (re: Conway/Ivanka)

[underpants]

3. The only way Priebus isn't lying is that Trump is really that bad at dealing with people

I was going to say bad at politics but this is more basic than that - he's used to everything revolving completely around him and everyone being completely at his will. Life outside the bubble is hard.

[jehop61]

4. How can these guys

Just lie to our faces and never back down? Shame

[gilbert sullivan]

17. Well, it worked for Goebbels

[dalton99a]

5. Ryan will outlast him in Washington

He will continue to be Speaker unless Democrats retake the House

[Paladin]

6. Gawd, am I ever enjoying this.

I hope trump takes the repubes off a cliff into a deep, deep political chasm.

[Island Blue]

7. Some where, John Bohner

is sipping a cocktail, while smoking a cigarette & practicing his putts as be laughs his ass off so hard he turns into a crying, slobbering heap.

[randr]

8. I just hope Ryan takes it personally

and replaces Nunes with a real aggressive head for the Intelligence Committee.
We need a very few level headed Repubs to join with Democrats to see the Trump perp walk.
Not that I consider Ryan level headed. Who knows, he may have a vindictive side.

[Scarsdale]

12. May have

a vindictive side? No doubt that he does. Look at the way he treated President Obama, a man who has twice the character and intelligence as Lyin' Ryan. The only good thing I see is that the gop is STUCK with the orange ass, he is all theirs. Rancid Pieface is a pathetic little "man" just pathetic. This administration certainly attracts the lowest of the low when it comes to respectful, truth telling operatives. They are all liars.

[George II]

9. Coincidental? Not sure of the timing, but wasn't trump's tweet more than 10 hours before the show?

[LiberalFighter]

11. Why is she allowed to be referred to as a judge when she is no longer a judge and

she was only a county judge?

[BumRushDaShow]

13. So Rancid is left parroting the idiotic "imploding/exploding" remarks

and then basically calls those verbs "adjectives".

[Kali]

14. LOL

What a bunch of morans!

[randr]

15. We are all smack dab in the middle of a nation wide crime scene

and he wants us to believe there are coincidences?

[Paladin]

16. Wallace's snide "Come on" was absolutely perfect.

trump and his henchmen (and women) aren't even trying to hide their back-stabbing, anymore.

[NCjack]

18. Someone on Trump's staff should go to the nearest bookstore

and buy a copy of the US Constitution. The president has no authority in the removal of the speaker of the House. But, the speaker has mechanisms to remove the president. Also, the speaker has 1000s of ways to make the life of the president miserable. I look forward to some subtle but painful retaliation by Speaker Ryan. Putting President #45 on a travel budget would be a fun start.

[samnsara]

19. another smokescreen folks!!!

[LakeArenal]

20. Rinsed Penis always talks like a drunk guy who is about to belch...
