"Waste of my f*cking time": Hot mic at GOP press conference catches griping as Paul Ryan walks away

‘Waste of my f*cking time’: Hot mic at GOP press conference catches griping as Paul Ryan walks away

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/waste-of-my-fcking-time-hot-mic-at-gop-press-conference-catches-griping-as-paul-ryan-walks-away/



House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) concluded the press conference on Tuesday by answering a question about whether President Donald Trump excluded Republican lawmakers from his executive order banning travel from seven majority-Muslim countries.

“We were briefed on the contents of it as it was being rolled out,” Ryan admitted. “Clearly, none of us want to see people with green cards get implicated in this. And that’s not the goal here.”

As Ryan, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) and other GOP leaders walked past the podium to exit the briefing room, someone could be heard griping about the press conference.

“Waste of my fucking time,” the person uttered under his breath.
