Paul Ryan kicked off his Speakership with big dreams and lofty ambitions that were promptly crushed thanks to the House Freedom Caucus and the rise of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. The DCCC has launched RyanRealityCheck.com to highlight Ryan’s missteps, broken promises, failures and hypocrisies.
This first-of-its-kind website is aimed at holding Speaker Paul Ryan accountable on a daily basis and provides a needed clearinghouse for research-based information for Democratic allies and the general public. The DCCC will offer official statements, commentaries and “reality checks” in response to relevant public appearances and statements, major print and television interviews and weekly news conferences. The website will also include locations and available details of Speaker Ryan’s public events and fundraisers.
www.RyanRealityCheck.com will highlight key stories, polling and other information about Paul Ryan, his management of the House Freedom Caucus, the demise of his “Year of Ideas,” and more. Notably, www.draftspeakerryan.org and www.draftspeakerryan.net also redirect to this website.
“Since assuming his Speakership, Paul Ryan and those around him have been living in a fantasyland about his ability to control the raucous House Republican conference and his power to counteract the megaphone of Donald Trump. To adjust these foolishly lofty ambitions and show that Ryan is no savior of the Republican party, this website will be the one-stop accountability shop for research-based responses and official reactions to his public comments, appearances and more,” said Meredith Kelly of the DCCC.
