Representative Tim Ryan Gets Graphic While Describing The Effects Of A Trump Administration
The Democratic congressman from Ohio was speaking at an event for former President Bill Clinton.
On Wednesday, Congressman Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) graphically described the potential effects of a Trump presidency while speaking at an event for former President Bill Clinton. Ryan, who addressed “our friends in the trades, [our] steelworkers”, said Trump would “gut you” and “walk over your cold dead body and he won’t even flinch.”
Ryan said:
“That’s what is at stake, and I don’t mean to be graphic, but this guy to our friends in the trades — to our steelworkers who he’s been treating unfairly, very unfairly — he will, he will gut you and he will walk over your cold dead body and he won’t even flinch, He’ll climb over your cold dead body and get on his helicopter, right?”
He added:
“I don’t mean to be dramatic, but that’s what’s at stake.”

He continued:
