“Avengers” director Joss Whedon used a picture of House Speaker Paul Ryan meeting with teenagers battling cancer to diss President Trump about his past comments disparaging women.
Ryan tweeted Thursday a picture of himself shaking hands with Wisconsin teenagers who are fighting cancer.
Whedon took the opportunity to mock the photo, pitching Ryan as a host of a game show, “White House Wife Hunt.”
“Donny makes host P. Ryan give 2 more contestants the ‘Not a 10’ card,” the Trump critic said, a reference to a comment Trump made in 2015 about supermodel Heidi Klum. During an interview with the New York Times, when talking about another questionable comment he made about former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Trump said, “Sometimes I do go a little bit far,” before adding: “Heidi Klum. Sadly, she’s no longer a 10.”

The photo also evokes Trump’s suggestive remark concerning a young girl that was unearthed during the election. Trump said about a 10-year-old girl in the 1992 video clip: “I am going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?”
That report from CBS News in October followed a firestorm when the Washington Post published a video of Trump in 2005 making lewd comments about seducing women to then-“Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush.
