Conservative pundit Ann Coulter says Ryan, just seven weeks on the job, is ripe for a primary challenge. Paul Ryan Betrays America, blared a headline on the conservative site Breibart.com. And Twitter is littered with references to the Wisconsin Republicans new Muslim beard.
Ryan is refusing to let the attacks go unanswered and is using his megaphone as the nations top elected Republican to try to drown out the chorus of conservative critics.
After Congress passed the nearly $2 trillion government funding and tax-cuts package last week, Ryan touted conservative victories in a roundtable with Capitol Hill reporters, on NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday, and again during a trio of interviews with friendly conservative talk radio hosts Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt and his old political mentor, Bill Bennett.
He will continue to talk directly to conservatives throughout the country as he has always done, a Ryan aide said.

OP
I've certainly no love for Paul Ryan, but the snark over his beard is pure bigoted bullshit.

(50,986 posts)2. Ann Coulter hasn't looked into
Ryan's district.
It's a pretty safe bet he is not going to be challenged in his next primary.
Good to hear Ryan is taking heat from the crazy people in his party, which it turns out is just about everybody in it.

(15,888 posts)3. WTF?! Growing a beard make you a Muslim now?
Frankly, the man looks better with a beard. He's still an asshole, though.
saltpoint

beards.
Are they Muslims?

(50,986 posts)7. No kidding. And Santa Claus. I'd
have thought he wasn't a Muslim, but it's clear I've got to look into things more carefully.
