Paul Ryan. You might remember him from such hits as “That guy who was going to be better at making the House Freedom Caucus be sane” or “That guy whose name was on signs with Mitt Romney.” He’s also that guy who got his ass handed to him by Joe Biden during their vice presidential debate, and yet is still somehow regarded as a clever policy wonk.
Sarah Palin. You’ll remember her from her stints on 30 Rock and SNL where she … No. Wait. It’s the other one. The hilarious one. Palin was also “That woman whose name was on signs with John McCain.” So you’d think that she and Ryan might bond over their shared history as massive losers.
But as the Republican Civil War unfolds, the two found themselves on opposite sides of the orange line.
Sarah Palin will work to defeat House Speaker Paul Ryan by backing his primary opponent in Wisconsin, the former Alaska governor told CNN's Jake Tapper. …
"I think Paul Ryan is soon to be 'Cantored,' as in Eric Cantor," Palin said, referring to the former Republican House majority leader who was ousted in a shocking upset in 2014 when challenger Dave Brat ran to his right in a Virginia primary.
This is the sort of tragedy that happens in a civil war where brother-on-brother, sister-on-sister, Barbie-on-Barbie conflict is inevitable.
"This man is a hard-working guy, so in touch with the people," Palin said. "Paul Ryan and his ilk, their problem is they have become so disconnected by the people whom they are elected to represent."
But the tragedy hasn’t made Sarah Palin any less hilarious.
