whose impoverished upbringing was recently explored in his memoir-turned-Ron Howard film"Hillbilly Elegy", claimed onFox News that Ryan has grown complacent in his 20 years in office.
During the debate, Vance repeatedly tried to contrast Ryan's term in the House with the elapsed economic downturn and employment outsourcing in his blue-collar district near the Pennsylvania border. When pressed by Vance on whether he would support 71-year-old Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. to retain his seat as Senate Majority Leader, Ryan did not give a direct answer.
Ryan said he was not speaking about Trump supporters or humans in general, but that the collective"movement" on what he saw as the far right must be stopped.
