    The Paul Ryan dress code story is fake news. It's why people hate media. A lie is half way across the world before the truth covers its arms

        It isn't fake. It's a misunderstanding by someone who doesn't cover the house regularly. It's about a rush to get something out there

        It's not true he started dress code but he continues to impose it. So now it's on him. So how is that fake news?

        The media not calling out Trump's lies for what they are is the biggest failure of the media

        How about Trump lying every time he opens his mouth? Isn't that fake news? Isn't that why people hate politicians?

        How does gnashing your teeth over it on Twitter help us out? Trump just met with Putin and Russian media has the scoop. Get yourself sorted.

        He didn't create the rule, but as Speaker of the house he has the power to abolish it. I think that's one of the points in the article.

        ATEOTD, who really cares about this story? What audience are u targeting w/ this? Who's asking about the dress code in the Speaker's Lobby?

        Can we retire "fake news" already? It's like saying "I'm not PC."

        only place I've seen this is twitter, what I've seen there's an archaic dress code that Paul Ryan needs 2 update, if not on him

        If that's true, then great! I didn't believe it, or fact check it.
