If you were forced to pick just one failure on the part of Paul “Crap Sandwich” Ryan to act responsibly on behalf of the American people, you’d be hard pressed to choose one more glaring among all the many fails he owns than this one.
If there was a vote among people who have watched this guy’s behavior for more than 15 minutes, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen would be their unanimous choice for “Most Repulsive Figure in Washington”…and with it, the trophy would have to be retired. There is no one in the foreseeable future who could possibly wrest the title from him.

Exclusive — Rep. Ron DeSantis: Paul Ryan’s GOP Leadership Team Fears Beltway Media, Isn’t Holding IRS Accountable (excerpt)
TAMPA, Florida — Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) , a conservative running for the GOP nomination to replace Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in the U.S. Senate in November, called out his own party’s leadership for its failure to hold the IRS accountable, years after the agency refused to comply with congressional investigations into its targeting of conservative groups.
DeSantis is part of a small group of conservatives in the House pushing to impeach IRS commissioner John Koskinen. He tells Breitbart News that House Speaker
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) ’s leadership team has backed down from holding Koskinen accountable.
“I think what’s holding it back, I think the leadership is worried about being criticized by inside the Beltway media and stuff,” Desantis told Breitbart News at a gun show here. “We are going to try to force the issue potentially in a way that at least people have to go on the record, look I think if Republicans have to go on the record on it, it will sail through because no one wants to be defending a recalcitrant IRS commissioner.” (snip)
Ryan’s leadership team, in many ways, has frustrated conservatives nationwide because of his unwillingness to pick a fight with President Barack Obama on issues ranging from government overregulation to agency power abuse and transparency to Muslim refugee resettlement to immigration to trade to budget matters. Despite grassroots conservatives’ dissatisfaction with Ryan in his early days as Speaker, however, most conservatives inside Congress have thus far been unwilling to challenge him. But that’s starting to change—and much faster than it did for now former Speaker John Boehner, who Ryan replaced.
Hats off to Rep. DeSantis
