May 17, 2017, 9:02 PM

No one has really noticed this report yet.

If anyone needed proof that the GOP is an arm of the Russian Mafia, here you go:

Ryan: This is an off the record…[laughter]…NO LEAKS…[laughter]…alright?!

[Laughter]

Ryan: This is how we know we’re a real family here.

Scalise: That’s how you know that we’re tight.

[Laughter]

Ryan: What’s said in the family stays in the family.

I'm inclined to believe the story about it being a joke.

Politicians in groups aren't very good at keeping secrets. It's just terrible optics as usual.

It could be, but this makes it seem like they're just trying to say "lol I was joking" after being caught.

When initially asked to comment on the exchange, Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Ryan, said: “That never happened,” and Matt Sparks, a spokesman for McCarthy, said: “The idea that McCarthy would assert this is absurd and false.” After being told that The Post would cite a recording of the exchange, Buck, speaking for the GOP House leadership, said: “This entire year-old exchange was clearly an attempt at humor.

Definitely looks bad. But I don't remember jokes I told a

year ago.

Reporting on this seems kind of idiotic


May 17, 2017, 11:04 PM

I can see it being one of those hot mic gaffes that's in the news for 15 minutes if it just happened, but this is from a long time ago. It's the kind of click bait you'd expect to get from a less serious source.

Also, anybody who thinks this wasn't a joke is either stupid or a liar.
