Paul Ryan and Newt Gingrich have had a bit of a testy relationship over the past year. Gingrich called Ryan’s plan “right-wing social engineering” on Meet the Press in April. “With allies like that, who needs the left?” Ryan shot back the next day.

Gingrich later apologized, and Ryan said in late October, prior to the Gingrich surge, that “there was never a hatchet to bury really [with Gingrich]. He said what he said. And what happened happened…. I ran into him the other day at the airport. We’re fine. I talked to him. He emails me fairly often.”
