Paul Ryan accuses Rand Paul of ‘insulting remark to the president’ – Washington Examiner

Category: Rand Paul

House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday accused Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul of making "an insulting remark to the president" over the American Health Care Act's rollout this month.

Earlier Wednesday, Paul, a Republican, told CNN that Ryan, also a Republican, was selling Trump "a bill of goods that he didn't explain to the president that the grassroots doesn't want."

"Frankly, I think that is kind of an insulting remark to the president as if he doesn't know what he's doing or something. It makes it look like I find that kind of puzzling number one," Ryan told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Wednesday afternoon. "Number two, this plan the one we're passing, it's the one we ran on all of 2016. It is based upon the Tom Price bill which was seen as the conservative gold standard."

Four House committees are currently looking at revisions to the Obamacare replacement bill, but House GOP leadership is happy with the bill's frame. Paul would like to see Medicaid flexibility improved through the mark-up process.
