Harry Reid spokesman sends out a 'reminder' that Speaker Ryan is a 'coward'

A spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called House Speaker Paul Ryan a “coward” after the Wisconsin Republican put out a statement Sunday regarding reports of a secret CIA investigation determining that Russian government operatives attempted to rig the 2016 presidential election in President-elect Trump’s favor.

Sunday afternoon, Ryan’s spokeswoman AshLee Strong said in a statement that the speaker “has said for months that foreign intervention in our elections is unacceptable.” She added that Ryan has pushed for enhanced cybersecurity for the election process, and while he is not able to discuss the content of classified briefings, Ryan “rejects any politicization of intelligence matters.”
