Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is trying to dodge the crisis that Trump created by refusing to answer questions about the firing of James Comey.

Congressional Republican leadership has gone silent and is refusing to answer questions about Trump’s firing of Comey. Paul Ryan refusing to take a stand against anything that Trump does is nothing new. Ryan spent the 2016 presidential campaign refusing to answer questions about Trump’s questionable leadership and actions.
Speaker Ryan has never displayed a bit of spine when it comes to Trump. The Speaker sold himself out to Trump’s corruption in exchange for more political power long ago.
Republicans are in free fall, and the best way for America to be saved if Trump enablers like Ryan and McConnell are pushed aside and a Democratic Congress is elected in 2018.
