The only Republican Speaker that I sort of liked was John Boehner. At least he had a human side.

And according to Liz Cheney's book, after the horror of January 6th, she called former Speaker Paul Ryan who was then on the board of Fox to suggest a documentary to get the truth of what really happened to those who watch Fox. He thought it was a great idea and they were almost done with production of the series when it was abruptly canceled and they aired a series that was full of lies, anchored by Tucker Carlson, instead. Liz Cheney said that several members of the Fox board resigned because of it.
