Ryan pictured with man wearing ‘repeal and go f— yourself’ shirt

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) posed for a photo with a man wearing a shirt that said “Repeal and go f— yourself,” according to an image posted online Saturday.
The shirt is from the podcast “Pod Save America,” hosted by several former White House staffers from President Obama’s administration.

The House narrowly passed legislation aimed at repealing and replacing ObamaCare this week, taking a major step toward a long-held GOP goal and setting in motion an overhaul of the nation’s health system.
The narrow party-line 217-213 vote was a victory for GOP leaders, who heralded the legislation’s passage with President Trump during an event in the White House Rose Garden on Thursday afternoon.
Trump said during the event that he was confident the Senate would also vote to repeal Obama’s signature healthcare law, though GOP leaders have acknowledged difficulty in getting such legislation through the Senate, where they hold just a two-seat majority.
After its passage, Democrats tore into the House GOP’s healthcare plan, ripping it as a “tax cut for millionaires” and “immoral.”
