Tim Ryan Is a Weenie

: (

Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:

Tim Ryan, one of the one million Democrats running for president, rolled out a new hashtag campaign that not so subtly calls out Bernie Sanders, who took aim at Ryan twice during Tuesday night’s CNN debates. During an exchange on climate change, Ryan—unsettled by Sanders’s tone—told Sanders, “You don’t have to yell.” Considering Sanders’s reputation for being the politician equivalent of an old man who yells at a cloud, Ryan probably thought this hashtag would be a big hit. But Ryan comes across as more of a weenie than anything for this stunt. [Twitter/@TimRyan]
