Paul Ryan Twitter Goof a Fundraising Boon for Democratic Challenger

In the always-raging spin war between Democrats and Republicans, Democratic candidate Randy Bryce got the upper hand over the weekend on House Speaker Paul D. Ryan.

Bryce captured a screenshot of one of Ryan’s tweets and turned it around into a fundraising drive for his campaign to unseat the speaker in Wisconsin’s 1st District.

Ryan tweeted Saturday about a public high school secretary in Pennsylvania he had met who told him her $1.50 pay raise each week would “more than cover her Costco membership for the year.”

Before Ryan deleted the tweet, Bryce took a screenshot. He then asked his followers to “chip in $1.50 now to help us repeal and replace Ryan permanently this November.”




Since he initiated the drive, Bryce has raised $130,109 from donors, he told Politico. Half donated $1.50 to his campaign.
