Republican-on-Republican violence has spilled out into open warfare in the wake of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s half-hearted efforts to distance himself from the unregistered sex offender at the top of his party’s ticket. After Ryan reportedly told his members on a conference call that he was going to ignore Donald “grab them by the pussy” Trump and work on protecting the GOP’s newly fragile majority, you knew that Big Orange was gonna explode—and explode he did:
What makes this even more delightful is that Ryan is also getting it on the other end. The House Deplorables Caucus is completely furious that their leader would even attempt to disengage every so slightly from the embrace of a known sex predator:
Representative Dana Rohrabacher, a veteran California conservative, was particularly heated, according to House Republicans on the call. Representative Trent Franks of Arizona, using graphic language to describe abortion, made an ardent case for staying with Mr. Trump because his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, would support a policy of destroying fetuses “limb from limb.”
Well, something sure is getting torn limb from limb, and it’s called the Republican Party.
