Before you believe the Right Wing crap, Paul Ryan is not refusing to raise money for Trump. Sadly, we have to read the truth in a Left Wing rag.
Politico reported:
Ryan (R-Wis.) is crafting an election-year campaign
schedule focused on maintaining majorities in the House and Senate – a
weighty task, with control of Congress in the balance. Any other request
— raising money for Trump or helping him turn out the vote — will be
considered on a case-by-case basis, an aide in Ryan’s political
operation said.
“Speaker Ryan is focusing on supporting House and Senate
Republicans,” the aide said.
“The [Republican National Committee] has
not asked him to participate in any fundraisers to date but should they
ask, we will give those requests due consideration.”
It’s significant, because Ryan has emerged as one of the most
prolific fundraisers in the Republican Party. Ryan’s political operation
— dubbed Team Ryan — raised $17 million in the first quarter of 2016.
He has raised more than $30 million for the Republican Party since
October, and has transferred more than $21 million to the National
Republican Congressional Committee this cycle.
As of the end of the first quarter, Team Ryan had $3.2 million on
hand, and Ryan for Congress — the speaker’s reelection account — had
$7.6 million in the bank.
