Democrat Fails, Hypocrisy, and Lies

30 reasons to reject Tim Ryan

Rapid Response

Tonight, J.D. Vance and Tim Ryan have a town hall on Fox News. For most Ohioans, it’s already clear that Ryan should never be a senator. But in case you haven’t been following this race, here are 30 reasons why.

Ryan is a Failed Career Politician

  1. He’s a failed politician who has only passed 5 pieces of legislation in his 20 years in Congress, 3 of which were renaming federal buildings.
  2. The community Ryan is supposed to represent has suffered since he took office.
    1. Manufacturing: The Mahoning Valley has lost 24,900 manufacturing jobs since Ryan took office.
    2. Overdoses: From 2005 to 2020, overdoses in Mahoning County have increased 350%, in Trumbull County by 330%, and in Portage County by 400%.
    3. Household Income: Household income has severely lagged behind the rest of Ohio while Ryan has been in office.
    4. Poverty: From 2001 to 2020, poverty increased in Mahoning County, Trumbull County, and Portage County.
    5. Population: From 2000 to 2020, the population of both Mahoning County and Trumbull County shrank.

Ryan is Far-Left on Crime and Border Security

  1. In 2019, Ryan said he was “all for” releasing all "nonviolent criminals” — which includes fentanyl dealers.
  2. Ryan supports “decreasing the federal prison population by 50%.”
    1. The ACLU even thanked him for making “the ACLU commitment.”
  3. He wants to institute cashless bail nationwide; the same policy that’s been a disaster in New York.
  4. Ryan has “no opinion” on if judges should consider public safety when setting bail for criminal defendants.
  5. The Ohio Fraternal Order of Police, which represents 25,000 law enforcement officials, has endorsed J.D. Vance.
  6. He has aided and abetted drug cartels by allowing Joe Biden to throw the border wide open.
  7. Ryan backs ending ICE detainers and decreasing immigrant detention by 75%.
  8. When it comes to campaign donations, he is a hypocrite on the fentanyl crisis.
  9. He has done nothing as fentanyl, smuggled by Mexican cartels, poisons Americans at “record rates.”

Ryan Backs Inflation and Middle-Class Tax Hikes

  1. Ryan voted for Biden’s inflation-fueling spending that has led to real wages declining at the fastest pace in 40 years.
  2. He voted to raise the tax burden on Americans making as little as $20,000 a year through the Bidenflation Scam.
  3. He voted to raises taxes while claiming he wants to lower them.
  4. Over his political career, Ryan has voted for $6.74 TRILLION in higher taxes.

Ryan Wants to Wage War on American Energy

  1. Ryan voted to kill the Keystone pipeline.
  2. Ryan voted to allow the sale of our Strategic Petroleum Reserves to Communist China.
  3. He called plans to eliminate coal “amazing.”
  4. He wants to eliminate gas vehicles faster than Bernie Sanders: “If we’re waiting for 2040 to get rid of gas vehicles, we’re doing something terribly wrong.”
  5. While he wants Americans to give up their cars, he hypocritically drives a “gas guzzler.”
  6. Ryan’s a fraud who tells Ohio voters he supports the state’s natural gas industry, even though he actively opposed natural gas while he was running for president.

There’s Not a Proposal From Far-Left Special Interests Groups Ryan Doesn’t Like

  1. He votes with Biden 100% of the time.
  2. He calls Chuck Schumer his “future boss.”
  3. He was for bailing out student debt before he was against it – another reason he’s a fraud.
  4. Elizabeth Warren boasts about him as an extremist Democrat running for Senate who wants to “get rid of the filibuster.”
  5. He is too cowardly to stand by his record and actually campaign with Biden.
  6. He insists he’s “tough” on China, but uses Chinese spyware app TikTok for campaigning.
  7. He proudly campaigns with Randi Weingarten, a main proponent of anti-science mask mandates and school closures.
  8. Ryan supports abortion UNTIL BIRTH with no limits.
  9. He suggested government-funded abortion should be a tool to address “overpopulation.”

That’s just the start. Massive fraud Tim Ryan says “we need new leadership” … Vote for J.D. Vance.
