Conservative Icon Speaks out Against Paul Ryan

Republican nominee Donald Trump has recently come under fire for withholding an endorsement for current House Speaker Paul Ryan. Trump told The Washington Post Tuesday that, as far as endorsing Ryan, he was “not quite there yet.”

While many within the GOP criticized the move, conservative legend Phyllis Schlafly has spoken out with even stronger language than Trump against the speaker. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, she called on all Americans to “get rid of him.”

Ryan’s opponent in the race, Paul Nehlen, is a businessman who has been rapidly catching up in the polls, as the Wisconsin primary closes in for next week.

The 91-year-old Schlafly had plenty of criticisms for the Speaker, primarily those that dealt with immigration, trade, and Ryan’s failure to represent the Republican electorate.

“Get rid of him! We don’t want anybody who believes in open borders,” she said. “Obviously Paul Ryan is not an ‘America first’ guy.”

Schlafly hopes for someone to replace Ryan and help defeat the “kingmakers” — that is, the political elite who have a donor class agenda. She has been particularly troubled by Ryan’s negative comments toward Trump.

Nehlen has said similar, saying previously that “Ryan’s repeated betrayals of the GOP nominee is beneath the dignity of the Speakers’ office and is morally disqualifying.” He predicted that if Ryan were to be re-elected, he would do his best to sabotage Trump even if he won the presidency.

In particular, Schlafly is against the philosophy of globalism. She has commended Trump on his “America First” motto, and explained that’s what the GOP really represents. In her interview with Breitbart, the conservative icon said she is hopeful of the future and believes Trump’s prowess and allegiance to the commonplace U.S. citizen will revive the Republican party.
