House Speaker Paul Ryan is a tool of the National Rifle Association, said his would-be Democratic challenger after Ryan told a Florida teacher that he "didn't want to talk politics" when she criticized his response to Wednesday's deadly school shooting in Broward County.
"We need a speaker who will listen to everyone, not just the NRA and other special interests who cut him checks," Democratic candidate and ironworker Randy Bryce said after the Friday night encounter between Ryan and the fifth-grade teacher, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Bryce, who goes by the nickname Iron Stache, is seeking the Democratic nomination to run against Ryan in the upcoming 2018 midterms.
Bryce also attacked Ryan for going to Florida to "raise money" rather than to support a "grieving community."
The teacher, Maria Thorne, and another protester were escorted out of the Ritz-Carlton in Key Biscayne by security Friday, according to The Miami Herald. In recalling her exchange with Ryan, Thorne said she introduced herself as a teacher to the House Speaker, who responded, "Nice."
"Nice?" she questioned. "Youre here celebrating the death of 17 children." After Ryan said he didn't want to discuss the issue, Thorne and a friend chanted "No more guns" and were ejected from the event.
