(46,217 posts)Ryan was voting in DC until 7 pm Wednesday night. That's a verified fact. Even assuming that Ryan left after that vote (the House remained in session and had unrecorded votes on a number of amendments until 10 pm) he would have had to get from the Capitol to the airport, get to Martha's Vineyard, get to the restaurant (which closes at 10:30 according to its website) and be involved in this incident and then be back in DC voting this morning. In theory he could've caught a shuttle from DC to Boston that takes about an hour and a half. And then drive to MV, which takes around an hour. Or he could've take a private plane directly to MV which takes around 2 hours. Either way, its hard to see how he gets to the restaurant before 10 pm (and that's been unrealistically generous about how long it would take).
Against these known facts, we have what: the claim that an anonymous "someone" said that the guy in the incident was Ryan. That' it. Oh, and that he was in MV on a Wednesday night for a "wedding" (although he was in DC on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.)
You want to convince the media that we're a bunch of idiots? Take this "story" to them.
