Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) took several jabs at former President Trump during an address at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Thursday, lamenting that voters “will not be impressed by the sight of yes-men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago.”

Ryan also referred to the end of Trump’s presidency as “dishonorable and disgraceful” 

“Even worse, it was horrifying to see a presidency come to such a dishonorable and disgraceful end,” Ryan said, adding that the 2020 elections had left Republicans “powerless” in Washington. 

The Wisconsin Republican also pointed to “fiascos” of Trump’s “own making,” including his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ryan, however, he also gave Trump credit for attracting new voters to the Republican Party.

“Look, to his credit, Donald Trump brought many new voters into our party, and we want them to stay,” Ryan said. “He’s a former president now, but the issues and values that held so many Republican voters and turned so many Democrats into Republicans — those issues and values still matter.”
