Ryan Pleaded on One Knee for Congressman to Back Healthcare Bill

House Speaker Paul Ryan got down on one knee to beg Rep. Don Young to vote for the Republican healthcare bill during last-minute attempts to secure the passage of the legislation, The Washington Post reported.

This was one of the details which emerged from the Post about the intensive talks that continued down to the wire until the GOP leadership realized it did not have the votes to pass the measure and instead withdrew the scheduled vote on Friday.

Even Ryan's pleading on one knee before the 83-year-old representative from Alaska did not convince him to back the bill.

Other key moments in the efforts to gain a majority for the legislation was when Florida Rep. Brian Mast, a first-time congressman and Army veteran who lost both his legs in 2010 while serving in Afghanistan, urged his colleagues to unite behind the bill just as he and his comrades done in fighting on the battlefield.

What's worse, Paul Ryan begging an 83 year old Congressman on one knee to vote for his shitty healthcare bill?

Or

Rep Brian Mast (lost both legs in Afghanistan) for asking his colleagues to unite behind this bill as his comrades did fighting in Afghanistan?
