Kind of amazing that people don't recognize that spending the day attacking Paul Ryan because he posted a Father's Day tweet about how much he loves his kids says a lot more about you than it does about Ryan.

I have engaged with the actual debate on immigration several times, but that debate/protest doesn't require hysteria regarding everything a political opponent says or does.
-
And I’m saying, that I think you — and I — come from a place that is far different from those activists who are most clearly pressing Ryan on this. Are there random assholes? Of course. But, those with the ~cause~ behind their protest have much at stake here.
-
And you just dismissing that as hysteria seems ... ungenerous.
-
I'm not dismissing their concerns as hysteria. I'm dismissing references to concentration camps, stealing children, and comparing Ryan to a Nazi as hysteria. And I'm saying not everything needs to be political. Tweeting attacks at Ryan's Father's Day post won't change policy.

Weird. You managed to have the entire conversation — including the initial tweet — by broad-brushing all criticism as the attacks and hysteria until now.pic.twitter.com/Di3vPXWvXM

Weird that you didn't include the original tweet, which specifically references attacks on his Father's Day tweet for that: https://twitter.com/AG_Conservative/status/1008192365696311297 … And also ignore the 100+ tweets I have sent in the last 2 days specifically addressing the policy concerns related to this issue.

Yes, a lot of people have real concerns about the current policy. No, that doesn't mean that people reacting to a Father's Day post from Ryan by calling him an evil Nazi are justified in doing so. I can dismiss the latter without dismissing the former.

The fact that they didn't care about this or protest this action when it occurred under Obama shows that it's a political activity not motivated by any concern for the children at the border. It should be solved, but I can't take the hype or hysteria seriously. It's scripted.

Lol go with that. Paul Ryan had NOTHING to do with kids being separated from families. He’s spoken out against it and is trying to fix it
