Former Congressman and current CNN commentator Jack Kingston made a curious comment on Twitter about Paul Ryan‘s sudden retirement announcement.

Kingston, who served alongside Ryan for years, said now that he’s gone Democrats “have no one to attack” while they’re stuck having to defend Nancy Pelosi:
