So much for bipartisanship.
Ohio Senate candidate Rep. Tim Ryan (D) echoed President Biden's recent attacks on what he calls “MAGA Republicans” during an interview with MSNBC's “Morning Joe.” In a bizarre attempt to attract undecided Republican voters Ryan said that Democrats need to “kill and confront” the extremist wing of the GOP.
MSNBC host Willie Geist invited Ryan onto the program to discuss the high-profile race and ideally provide a surge in support for the Democrat Senate hopeful in a state with a considerable Republican base. Rep. Ryan is competing against best-selling author J.D. Vance, who was also endorsed by former President Trump.
What is your message to Ohio Republicans in this general election who may look at J.D. Vance and say, ‘I don't like the way he's running the campaign, maybe I don't like the guy,' and are giving you a look?” Geist asked the Democrat Ohio Representative.
Ryan immediately dove into his voting record and touted himself as one of the most bipartisan members of Congress.
“Well, I would say, one, I'm one of the most bipartisan members of Congress. The last two congresses I have been in the top 10% of most bipartisan. I want to work across the aisle.”
In a thinly-veiled attempt to look relatable to prospective voters Rep. Ryan even hit at his own party.
“Look, the Democrats aren't right on everything, and I'm willing to sit down and have conversations about how we can move out of this age of stupidity and into an age of reconciliation and reform.”
“How do we fix all of these broken systems?” he rhetorically asked. Breaking the Republican Party into two camps, he answered his own question, “Some of those answers will come from Republicans – not the extremists that we're dealing with every single day.”
“We have to kill and confront that movement,” Ryan told Geist, before arguing that only “normal mainstream Republicans” are worth dealing with.
Despite trying to paint himself as a great unifier, Rep. Ryan has repeatedly attacked Vance's conservative beliefs and accused him of parroting Trump talking points and ideals. The race is expected to be tight and will likely be one of the most closely-watched races in the country.
There goes Rep. Ryan's bipartisan narrative…
Will J.D. Vance manage to defeat this leftist masquerading as a moderate? Tell us what you think in the comments below!

Nice
REALLLLLY???? Hope you were using SARCASM !!
Kill? Come get some, scumball…..
I am no Democrat, but if you read toward the end of the article, he said “kill. the MOVEMENT”. To be fair, the quote was not referring to killing Republicans, but rather “killing the movement”. So not really the same thing.
perhaps, but we all know that dems read no farther than the headline. . .
Lovely, explain to me which blind zombie leftist sheep reads all the words?
J.D. Vance should easily defeat this RINO but there seems to be a very large number of numbskulls who claim to be Republicans who are also “Never Trumpers”. who just hate it that Trump is so mean but seem to forget all the hateful things said about him by Democraps and RINOs over the past 6 years.
Ryan is not a RINO, he’s a declared Democrat.
SAME THING – both are trying desparately to destroy this once-great country!!
These stupid democrats just need to keep their dumb comments coming, every time they open their mouth they show voters why they should vote republican in this next election, in fact in all elections.If we don’t purge them from our government they will destroy our constitutional republic and install their version of socialist government, with them in power, of course.
look at this deranged loon inciting violence
Really? You call for dead of someone who doesn’t think like you! Anyone voting for you want the nazis to run our country. Your a unmoral unamerican idiot. Your no better than the buffoon sitting in the White House. You truly are disgusting.
Very divisive rhetoric Tim Ryan. I live in Ohio and would love to talk to you. My first question would be how does it feel being a communist pig. You’re as bad as Captain Dementia in the white house. I hope you lose in a landslide. You’re disgusting!
People of Ohio need to come out en masse and soundly vote this scumbag out of office. To openly call for the killing of those who do not ascribe to the Fourth Reich’s regime is disgusting and low. He does not deserve to remain in office any longer.
That works both ways, dummy.
Goes Both ways OK
I believe what was said was they need to “kill and confront “ the MAGA movement rather than individuals. Still not a great statement but accuracy is important.
I live in Northern Ohio. Mr. Ryan is a big Union guy. He will ALWAYS vote for enlarging the Federal Government because it employs UNION folks. If you are non-Union, too bad. Your high taxes (courtesy of Mr. Ryan) will provide a comfortable lifestyle for hoards of these Democrat workers….like 87,000 IRS agents!
He is a pecker head, no denying he is a Democrat!
Whenever…AND WHEREVER dims. Just a matter of time now…
Moron
So this idiot dem is advocating killing republicans that he considers extremist then claims he can work with others. I remember the good old days where encouraging people to kill others wouldn’t be tolerated.
“We have to kill and confront that movement,” Ryan told Geist, before arguing that only “normal mainstream Republicans” are worth dealing with.
Hey ryan. What is your movement? Make America a $$$$h.thole (MASH)? Your pathetic and corrupt party is doing a good job of it.
FJB and F ryan.
GAME ON.
Um…preferably you’re killing them only after you’ve been properly introduced? I’m mean why go to all the bloody trouble if they’re actually “nice” Republicans…
Is FJB’s FBI going to go after this terrorist, inviting violence on HALF the voting public?
Mike in Ohio says that Tim Ryan’s 100% voting record with Joe Biden is not bi-partisan at all. J D Vance’s positions on the border, jobs, drugs, crime control and appropriate resistance to Chinese influence (think fentanyl) must be taken all agree with my positions. I will be voting for J D Vance this November AND URGE YOU TO DO THE SAME!
i agree with kate. the democrite leftist commie morons only do read the headlines and then go crazier and kookyer than ever
It’s time for this man to be defeated. When elected creeps begin threatening citizens, the creep needs to leave.
Do you not know what MAGA means? The damn dimocraps must not. Here, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. If you do not like it, then you are part of the problem!!! We want a FREE GREAT COUNTRY TO LIVE IN. The left are communists through and through. This Country doesn’t need them. It’s time for them to leave and find their own place to live. Here’s an idea. Venezuela GO DO YOUR F ING UP THERE!!!!!
If a republican said this all hell would break loose. Just add him to the list with Maxine and the rest.
