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.
oooh boy the comments on this…. https://t.co/Tzd2CND6iq

Here’s just a taste:
it’s still more useful than you

But lost in between was your dignity and integrity.

Did you have ties to Russia back then, too?
— Sharon E (@Xaron4) November 29, 2018
But sadly no more self respect
— Hillary Del (@hillary3197) November 29, 2018
Can't say the same for your dignity.

I am SOOO glad you’re not my son.

Huh?
The "President" of the United States has committed treason…and you're tweeting about ties.
— Rob Pax Covfefe (@rob_in_colorado) November 29, 2018
That tie is literally all you have to show for your time.

I'm glad you didn't lose it like you did your dignity and self respect
— Susan M Jones (@susanjones1968) November 29, 2018
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.
— EricaPerica (@PericaErica) November 29, 2018
But no credibility, soul, or sense of humanity.

Still a little bitch though.
