Pro-Trump Sites Take Aim At Ryan As Obamacare Repeal Bill Hangs In Balance

Defenders of President Donald Trump were taking aim at House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) in the hours before Republicans were scheduled to vote Friday on their troubled Obamacare repeal bill.

Both Drudge Report and Breitbart News, conservative news sites that full-throatedly backed Trump’s campaign, prominently criticized the American Health Care Act and distanced the White House from it on their homepages.

Pundit Ann Coulter brought her characteristic light touch to the conversation, telling Fox News' Tucker Carlson in a late Wednesday interview that Trump was following "Paul Ryan's priorities."

"I will not hold the Emperor God Trump responsible for this Obamacare-lite bill, but for Pete's sake," Coulter exclaimed.

“House Sets Risky Health Vote: Pass It To Know What’s In It,” read the splash at the Drudge Report Thursday morning, below a photograph of a sheepish-looking Ryan. The sub-headline was a not-so-subtle reference to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) 2010 remark about Obamacare, which she said voters needed to weigh after the “fog of the controversy” over the law had dissipated. Her comment was seized on for for years by critics who said the law was overly complicated.

1. The "Emperor God Trump" ?

She is a fucking loon. Okay, I know, she's always been a loon, but this is way over the top.

2. It's a plea to the alt-right that she's one of them, so will they pleeease not not turn on her

"God Emperor" is what some of the real idiots call Trump (ironic? brainwashed? Hard to tell with them ...). It was used in the hack of DU on election day. I presum she's just got it the wrong way round.
