Paul Ryan was one of the biggest fakes in all of Washington. Wisconsin’s gift to the House of Representatives and one-time Speaker of the House was supposedly a genius, especially a government budgetary wonk. No, Paul Ryan was one of the biggest fakes in Washington, Joe Biden blew him away in a Vice Presidential debate, “That’s a bunch of malarkey.”

But Paul Ryan is smart enough to see an even bigger fake when he sees one and he knows that Wisconsin is about to go through some good theatre. The “audit” after the audit, after the audit. This time they’ll get it right. If they just do it enough times and get it done by the right people (MAGAs) they will win eventually.

Wisconsin Republicans are moving ahead with a forensic audit of the state’s 2020 presidential ballots, a state that Biden won by roughly 20,700 votes over Trump. A Wisconsin state Assembly committee voted on Monday to designate former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman as a special counsel to lead the audit

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said it’s “really clear” that President Biden won the 2020 election, as fellow Republicans in his home state gear up for an audit of presidential ballots. 

“It was not rigged. It was not stolen,” Ryan told WISN 12 in a rare interview on Monday. “Donald Trump lost the election. Joe Biden won the election. It’s really clear.”

Ryan’s comments come as Trump and his GOP allies continue to falsely assert that the 2020 election was stolen due to widespread voter fraud.

Ryan told WISN that Trump “legitimately lost” the 2020 race, noting that all of his legal challenges of the election results were thrown out in court.

“He exhausted the court challenges,” Ryan said. “None of them went his way, so he legitimately lost. Is there mischief, organized shenanigans in elections? Sure. Is there fraud? Yes. Was it organized to the extent that it would have swung the Electoral College and the presidential election? Absolutely not.”

Ryan also criticized the GOP for going MAGA, saying “I think we’ll just keep losing if we wrap ourselves around one person. We have not lost this much this fast in a long, long time.”

Isn’t it amazing how all these Republicans who aren’t in office know that the election wasn’t rigged? Have no doubt, Paul Ryan remains a fake, but he’s not being faked out by this one.

We wonder who’s going to win the audit of the audit of the audit!!
