And he couldn’t help but make a little joke about how much he’s changed:
I still have that tie. https://t.co/I3PF5dyXhV
— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) November 29, 2018
Little did he know that that joke would trigger so many people.

But lost in between was your dignity and integrity.

Did you have ties to Russia back then, too?

But sadly no more self respect
— Hillary Del (@hillary3197) November 29, 2018
Can't say the same for your dignity.

I'm glad you didn't lose it like you did your dignity and self respect

Glad you still have that tie, but is it still wearable without you having a spine?
— TheCynicalOptimist (@OneCynicalGuy) November 29, 2018
You kept the tie and threw away morals and ethics. Interesting choice.

But no credibility, soul, or sense of humanity.
