Is House Speaker Paul Ryan looking at retiring from Congress in 2018? A report in Politico Thursday said yes; Ryan’s office has said no, as has Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker:
Just checked in with my friend @PRyan. He’s not going anywhere.

CNN says Ryan is “soul searching,” which led late-night TV host and America’s conscience Jimmy Kimmel to take a cheap shot.
Search all you want, you won't ever find it https://t.co/jy2fhtoIMT

Who is this guy again? America’s conscience?
Sorry to be so blunt, but what an asshole. https://t.co/z00jlTA39Y

A guy who used his kid as a political prop on national tv to spread lies to his audience probably shouldn't be lecturing others about finding their souls. https://t.co/l7cJfPA7AF

Says the dude who risked his 7 month old kid ONE WEEK post op to push a false political narrative. https://t.co/PXHFogK9pz

It's quite sad when someone tries to elevate themselves as a cultural moral compass then behaves like a brat #wegettheculturewedeserve https://t.co/K5PF2jw4yW

Kimmel has turned into a complete laughingstock. It's like watching a life in reverse. He used to be a man and then turned into a baby. Embarrassing https://t.co/woi60m20oq

All right everyone, what’s the lesson we’ve learned over the last few weeks? The greater the virtue signaling, the greater the likelihood they are a total creep. Wait-and-see. https://t.co/5F8P1RMZvQ

Kimmel really has a bug up his butt about Ryan:
