| Soros Funded Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, John McCain, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham in 2016 | |
| 2017-02-07 | |
The biggest recipient of Soros-connected cash in the GOP was none other than House Speaker Paul Ryan, who repeatedly attempted to undermine Trump over the course of the election. According to the records available online, the Soros firm's workers gave $10,800 to Ryan.

| #22 Ryan's wife Janna Little has been a left wing progressive all of her life along with many of her family members. Janna also is a big Soros supporter who voted for Obama twice. I can't stand to be around someone talking crap about their left leaning liberal views for more than a few minutes repeating talking points and never listening to your point of view. So IMHO to be married to such a liberal is very telling. Ryan just seems to have a lot of liberal influence in his life. Suspicious? You bet. |

| #21 So the day after election they have to raise money. T visit a senator it costs $2,300 just to get in the door. Lib or not, they charge for access, into their reelection campaign. This is the fleecing and how it works and id monitored by law. Its the super pacs that really drive the money and they are wide open for funding... |

| #20 Common Abu, you can't buy a House Speaker for 10800. |

| #19 What the article doesn't say and which is, of course, much more difficult to prove is how much Soros reimbursed his underlings for their contributions. But we know from experience with many other cases that this is a common practice. Maybe he just gave them a little raise or a Christmas bonus. Can't say for sure of course. |

| #17 ...and your RINO buddies are joining the Soros crowd in attempting to stop him. Let's get this straight. I'm not sticking up for Ryan, RINO's, or whomever. I'm also not bashing Trump nor his policies. I'm saying the Breitbart article is bullshit. A couple of campaign contributions from unknown brokers means nothing.The whole agenda for this network of Trump boot lickin websites is to rile up the rubes so they babble on about primary challenges. A shot over the bow if you will. It appears Team Trump see their biggest challenge will come from the right. If true, I suspect it will be from conservatives not RINO's. |

| #16 I'm less concerned with their accepting the $ than what they committed to doing for it. |

| #15 Or am I missing something? They are dragging their heels on the repeal of ObamaCare and then there is this little item: 2017-02-07 Home Front: Politix McConnell: No Federal Money for Investigating Voter Fraud But the moslem ban is huge. There is no excuse for allowing foreigners to dictate US immigration policy. The GOP must get behind the president on this one. You really hit a nerve there, DepotGuy, because I'm getting damn sick and tired of watching all these radical leftist and moslems getting air time on the nightly news every night going on and on and on about how mean old Trump won't let terrorists into the country. Trump was elected by the citizens of this country to do exactly what he's doing and your RINO buddies are joining the Soros crowd in attempting to stop him. I can't wait until the next time some of these idiots are up for reelection and Trump campaigns against them. |

| #14 Talk is cheap. No results yet from Ryan. Period. |

| #13 ...and then opose everything Trump wants to do. Really...everything? Hmmm...I do recall Ryan stating his opposition to Trump's blanket ban on Muslim travel to the US. And he wasn't ready to back him up on his rich big shots are entitled to free snatch grabs theory. Other then that he's pretty much towed the line. Or am I missing something? |

| #12 The insinuation that Speaker Ryan is a Soros puppet is laughable. But hey, Breitbart knows there's plenty of simpletons out there to swallow their click bait. Interesting, though, how they take the money and then oppose everything Trump wants to do. |

| #11 If I were Soros I'd give money to half the Republican candidates, not enough to help them win but enough to taint them in the eyes of the voters. |

| #9 Not surprising, but I wouldn't trust these idiots to put out a grease fire regardless. |

| #8 Surprising? No. Disappointing? Yes. As their terms expire, it will be interesting to see if this data matters. |

| #7 All this shows is that some Soros employees are Republicans and/or conservatives... No, it doesn't show that at all. |

| #5 Paul ryan met saudi prince salman in washington 3 days after orkando - not to hear an apology for spreading theocratic islamism to the west, no. To discuss improving the Kingdom's image and its impending aramco float. Disgusting traitor |

| #4 If so, ZF, then they're no longer employees |

| #3 All this shows is that some Soros employees are Republicans and/or conservatives, just as Steve Bannon used to work for Goldman Sachs, which is mostly Democratic and liberal. |

| #2 With or without the money I already have plenty of doubt about these guys. |

| #1 Insulting, yes, but it does the damage required to create a little more doubt about these guys. |
