Thanks

What I am trying to do is get all the media pushback in one post that I can then link to in one tweet. Since I am new here, I can't do that. If anyone would like to help me get the word out, especially since my intention is shame any Ryan MSM fluffers to start reporting the truth and to spread the word far and side about Ryan's lies.
