Remember how for a few years there President Obama commemorated each and every holiday and anniversary with a staged photo of himself? That’s not cool anymore, at least when Speaker Paul Ryan does it.
Today we remember a great man and his work. We read his sermons. We recall his sacrifices. We give back. In doing these things, we raise our gaze and renew the spirit in which we serve one another. Such is the calling of #MLKDay. pic.twitter.com/UpNNtZJ8n5

Even the Washington Post’s “conservative” columnist, Jennifer Rubin, wasn’t having it from Ryan.
Save it pal. Rebuke Trump. Pass DACA fix. Then we'll talk

“Rebuke Trump, then we’ll talk.”
Sen. Tim Scott had already proved that no #MLKDay message, no matter how eloquent, will be accepted if it comes from a Republican, but plenty were lined up to take a shot at Ryan.

Nice.
And tomorrow, @SpeakerRyan goes back to screwing over Americans and dismantling MLK's legacy, all with that slimey smirk on his face. https://t.co/Tq4EkoK7Iw

The hypocrisy of this after he gave a raise to the wealthiest in the country and works day and night to cut services for the poor is just too damn much. https://t.co/n3O8zoqIpL

MLK was a socialist who called for a complete abolition of poverty by instituting a universal basic income pegged to comfortable middle class standards of living https://t.co/g3Ger2iB4I

Dr. King would be the mortal enemy of this Ayn Randian sociopath if he was still alive pushing for jobs for all americans, a livable wage, health care for all, and universal basic income. https://t.co/JqFSudumjY

What is it with the left and their obsession with Ryan and violent death — remember this one?
