Speaker Paul Ryan sat down with Sean Hannity, the outspoken critic of the “GOP establishment” who has been struggling to advance President Trump‘s agenda.
Hannity noted that during his interview with Ryan back in February, he was told that part of the “200-day agenda” included repeal and replace of Obamacare, vetting refugees, and building the wall.
“The House to its credit has accomplished a lot more than the Senate, I understand that you can claim success, but if Mitch McConnell can’t even appoint two-thirds of the president’s appointees and at nine months in- you have passed 270 some odd bills that he has not taken up,” Hannity told Ryan.
“So the point is we’re on schedule in the House,” Ryan responded. “We passed the health care bill back in May. We passed the repeal and replace of Dodd-Frank. We did Kate’s Law. We did sanctuary cities. We did the military. We did veterans. We did career and technical education reforms. We did school choice for D.C. We did pro-life legislation. We’ve done all these things.”
Ryan then held up a chart showing how his House has passed 337 bills, noting that was more than the previous four presidencies at this time during their tenures. He then showed another chart showing that 274 bills are still waiting in the Senate.
