Paul Ryan says Ocasio-Cortez didn't really listen 'to a thing I said' when he offered her advice

[RandySF]

Former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Tuesday that he doesn't believe freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) listened much to the advice he gave her about being one of the youngest members of the House.

In an interview Tuesday night at the annual dinner for Forward Jainesville, a community organization based in his hometown, Ryan quipped that he thought Ocasio-Cortez had ignored his advice while revealing that he had met the New York congresswoman after her election victory last year.

"I talked to her, AOC - everybody calls her AOC ... She's the youngest person now there. I gave her just a few little tips on just being a good member of Congress, new. I don't think she really listened to a thing I said," Ryan said, to laughter from the audience.

"Take it easy, just watch things for a while, don't ruffle any - see how it works first," he added of the advice he gave to Ocasio-Cortez.

1. Good! She is

Sharp and does need advice from a hack like you!!!

[Hortensis]

2. Advice from an incompetent actually once pathetically hailed

as an intellectual, apparently the closest thing the knuckdragging Republican caucus imagined it had.

He's always been an extremist dope. He couldn't be put down after the Kochs pushed him on Romney (no bright bulb himself), so had to be put away instead. Then a total failure, traitor, and coward as speaker on rising far above his level of competence and integrity. To our benefit, of course.

I wouldn't listen to him either. Seriously.

32. regifter grifter Ryan

Ryan is an example of how NOT to represent most citizens.

[maxsolomon]

3. Be a good little back-bench soldier!

Eat shit and die, Ryan, you utter fraud.

[JaneQPublic]

4. She listened.

Then she considered the source and wisely did just the opposite.

[SHRED]

5. I like her reply

"Double standards are Paul Ryan being elected at 28 and immediately being given the benefit of his ill-considered policies considered genius; and me winning a primary at 28 to immediately be treated with suspicion & scrutinized, down to my clothing, of being a fraud," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted last year.

6. You go girl!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. Are your feelings hurt Paul

[Wounded Bear]

8. Yeah, well...I don't listen to you much either.

[bigbrother05]

9. Correction Paul, she didn't follow your advice

Doubt that she wasn't listening, her actions to date clearly indicate she pays very close attention to many things.

She just took the advice for what it was worth and acted on her own better judgement.

[JHB]

10. She has more on the ball than you do, Paul...

...and she doesn't have the benefit of a mainstream media that is so desperate to portray a "serious policy-wonk" Republican that they'd celebrate any one who'd spout econo-babble at them. And did.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I wouldn't take Paul Ryan's advice on where to get an oil change,

let along anything having to do with government.

[TheRealNorth]

28. Lol

[Vinca]

12. That just shows how smart she is.

[llmart]

13. Even more reason to like her.

[GemDigger]

14. That is because she has more intelligence, common sense, and compassion than

lyin ryan (I haven't forgotten his damage)

[Drahthaardogs]

15. Well... yeah. You are CRAZY AND STUPID,

So there is that.

[uponit7771]

16. annnd she just went up about 5 notches in my book. She's going to break things but be a net positive

[java108]

17. No one cares, you unibrowed, mansplaining POS.

AOC doesn't need your fucking advice.

[kairos12]

18. Why listen to the Granny Starving, Ayn Rand asshole.

[shanny]

19. why would anyone listen to you,

you waste of good air? What have you EVER done that was for the good of someone else? And what makes you think you know how a good member of Congress comports him/herself?

[ismnotwasm]

20. Good

She’s doesn’t need to listen to that asshole. She had plenty of decent people to listen to if she chooses

[DinahMoeHum]

21. Your shit wasn't worth listening to, Paul.

[Niagara]

22. Hey, Paul Ryan

I see that your new gig isn't keeping you busy, I suppose that's a good thing.

Don't you have more lies to spread and poverty shaming to achieve now since your on the Board of Directors for Fox Corp.?

Anyone who has common decency would never take advice from a rotten hypocrite!

[BlueStater]

23. Not taking advice from a worm like you is the smartest thing she could've possibly done. n/t

[eShirl]

24. that's just good judgement on her part

[Tanuki]

25. Well, Paul, she's not the type to push grandmas over a cliff in their wheelchairs.

Of course she wouldn't listen to you.

[Guilded Lilly]

26. Well, Ryan. You don't matter. Got it? n/t

[Freethinker65]

27. Oh, she listened alright.

Then she decided to do things her way.

Why would anyone want to take advice from and end up like Paul Ryan?

[spanone]

29. Bwahahahahaaa another republicon comedian

[lame54]

30. Worse than man-splainin - Repug-splainin

[AlexSFCA]

31. He is an idiot, no one should ever listen to his 'advice'

[Yavin4]

33. AOC wins again.

She wins every day.

[LisaM]

34. Trying to give her (or anyone) well-intentioned advice is one thing.

Using it as an anecdote on the speaking tour circuit is something else entirely; it shows he really wasn't giving advice at all.

Not that I'd ever accuse Paul Ryan of being well-intentioned.

[dweller]

35. Paul who?

such mysogynist comments


✌🏼️

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Shut Up, Paulie!

I'm glad she ignored advice from that Randian moron!!!

[appleannie1943]

37. Thank Goodness. That is why I like her.

[rurallib]

38. "Listen to me and some day, you too can skulk out in disgrace."

[malaise]

39. Well done Alexandria

[Liberal In Texas]

40. She probably heard you, just ignored your stupid advice.

Good for her!

[GoCubsGo]

41. Her response to that was the correct response.

I fail to see the problem here. Meanwhile, I see that he took half a million dollars from the Koch Brothers--after passing their version of the tax bill. Hmmmmmmm....
