Paul Ryan Should’ve Taken a Better Look at This Guy’s Shirt Before Posing for a Photo

Paul Ryan got a new health care bill through the House of Representatives this week, but if he paid more attention to a certain someone’s T-shirt this weekend, he might’ve remembered that not everyone is excited to see the Affordable Care Act dismantled.

The House Speaker appeared at the Kiwanis Pancake Festival today, and he ended up taking a picture at the event with a Twitter user who goes by @Minnysconsin. It would seem, however, that Ryan didn’t notice that the man had a rather trolltastic take on the American Health Care Act:

The quote “Repeal and go f*ck yourself” comes from the podcast Pod Save America, a show held by several former White House staffers who used to work for Barack Obama. The show is hosted by speechwriters Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and former National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor, and all three of them were quite pleased when they noticed the photo:

@Minnysconsin @jonlovett @TVietor08 Oh my god this is amazing

@TVietor08 @jonfavs @Minnysconsin Best photo I've ever seen.

As you can probably guess, the three hosts are not impressed by the efforts to repeal and replace the signature legislation of Obama’s presidential legacy.
