President Trump told Americans Saturday morning to watch
“Justice Jeanine” on Fox News. Jeanine Pirro started her show
with a segment calling for House Speaker Paul Ryan to “step
down.”

Trump publicly expressed confidence in Ryan after the White
House-backed Obamacare replacement bill had to be pulled as
there weren’t enough votes. However, there have been reports
that President Trump and his allies are upset about Ryan’s
performance as speaker.

Trump directed people through a tweet to watch Pirro, a former
county court judge and district attorney. Her “opening
statement” was, “Paul Ryan needs to step down as speaker of the
house. The reason? He failed to deliver the votes on his
healthcare bill.”

She said that “Americans elected the one man they believed could
do it,” and that Speaker Ryan came in with his “swagger and
experience” and sold Trump a “bill of goods which ends up a
complete and total failure.”

“I want to be clear this is not on President Trump,” Pirro added.

The Fox News host insinuated that Ryan wanted the bill to fail
as he knows “very well” the “inside workings of Washington” and
the different demands of factions in Congress. “What was your
agenda?” Pirro asked of Ryan. She said that his “loyalty was
always in question.”

The former judge said that she hadn’t spoken with Trump about
“any of this,” but that she could “only imagine that he and his
aides took on healthcare because they believe you had his back
and you didn’t.”

“The American people won’t forget this and neither should the
president,” Pirro said.
