"Oh yeah": Paul Ryan now able to "laugh off" image of himself "throwing a granny off a cliff"



Brian Kilmeade, a host on Fox & Friends (reportedly President Donald Trump's favorite show), shifted to ask Ryan about an advertisement that showed a person who looks like the House speaker pushing an elderly woman off a cliff. The ad alluded to the prediction that many older Americans would lose Medicaid coverage under the GOP plan.

"I think you saw what Democrats are doing. It's a Paul Ryan look-alike throwing a granny off a cliff. What is your reaction? Can you really laugh that off at this point?" asked Kilmeade.

"Oh yeah, I'm so used to this by now," Ryan responded. "I think the left is out of gas. I think they just basically decided resist, resist, resist. They want government-run health care. Government-run health care is collapsing while we speak. It's not working, and so what are we doing? We are replacing it with a law that will actually work."
