Sad! Paul Ryan’s visit to RI does not go well
It turns out that the vast majority of the state’s residents don’t like your garden variety weasely, dissembling corporate stooge House Squeaker.
Around 200 people chanted ‘‘Coward!’’ and booed as Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan attended an event in the heavily Democratic state.
A strong police presence kept the crowd across the street from a Providence office building, where Ryan was meeting Thursday with Year Up, a nonprofit career training organization.
Ryan was not seen entering the building, but a motorcade carrying him pulled into an alley, where there’s a back entrance, away from protesters.
‘‘We want him to hear loud and clear that his values are Wall Street values, they’re not Rhode Island values,’’ said Georgia Hollister Isman, the state director of Rhode Island Working Families. ‘‘We’re also here in solidarity with our friends in Wisconsin who’ve been trying for months to get a town hall meeting with him.’’
