Paul Ryan Changes His Tune on ‘Disgraceful’ Democrat Deal

In the first interview for House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) since President Trump announced his deal with Democrats to increase the debt ceiling, Ryan explained why Trump made the decision, and called it “perfectly reasonable and rational.”

He made the comments on Fox News to Martha MacCallum Thursday.

“When you look at that deal that was struck in the room for the three month debt ceiling,” MacCallum asked, “some are sizing it up and saying that the president really was speaking to Republican leadership, he was saying, that it was a signal to you guys, what do you say to that?”

“Well look what I think what he’s trying to do is clear the decks so we can get focused on big things like tax reform,” Ryan answered.

“I’ve spoken to the president a lot about this,” he explained, “I talked to him this morning, he wants to clear the decks so we can basically get our job done and focus on our big issue like tax reform, border security and the rest.” (Read more from “Paul Ryan Changes His Tune on ‘Disgraceful’ Democrat Deal” HERE)
