Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., raised the ire of Republican allies of Donald Trump when he said the former president was unfit for office, with one ally calling him a “piece of garbage.”
Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate who declined to run for reelection to Congress in 2018, said in a recent interview, according to The Hill, that the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol are part of the reasons for why he’s not going to vote for Trump in November. Ryan also said he’s not voting for President Joe Biden, either.
“I think it really just is character at the end of the day,” said Ryan, who sits on the board of Fox Corp., parent company of Fox News. “And the fact that if you’re willing to put yourself above the Constitution — an oath you swear when you take office, federal office, whether it’s president or a member of Congress, you swear an oath to the Constitution — and if you’re willing to suborn it to yourself, I think that makes you unfit for office.”
