Ever since Donald Trump won the election, the Democrat and Republican swamp creatures have been united against him.
Two of the ring leaders are Paul Ryan and Chuck Schumer.
Now they have teamed up for one of the worst acts of sabotage conservatives can imagine.
Trump kicked off a storm of establishment outrage when he pardoned Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Conservatives believe Arpaio was a victim of a political prosecution by the Obama administration because of his tough stance on law and order and illegal immigration.
Pro-amnesty elites in Washington delighted in seeing Arpaio brought down and were furious when Trump pardoned him.
Chuck Schumer and Paul Ryan – two of the leading champions for mass immigration and amnesty – each released blistering statements attacking Trump’s decision.
Schumer blasted Trump on social media.

Joe Arpaio ignored the courts and the rule of law in order to systematically target Latinos in AZ. The definition of racism and bigotry.

Ryan completed the one-two punch by releasing a statement through a spokesman that ripped Trump’s move.
Politico reports:
“A spokesman said House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) opposed the pardon. He was the highest-ranking Republican lawmaker to do so.
“The speaker does not agree with the decision,” Ryan spokesman Doug Andres said in a statement. “Law-enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon.”
This was the latest example of the establishment in both parties working together to undermine Trump’s presidency.
Ryan is the third highest elected Republican in the nation.
But in this case, his loyalty was not to his party or his President, but to the clique of pro-amnesty, pro-open borders special interests that dominate Washington.
He echoed the highest ranking Democrat in the nation in his criticism of Trump’s pardon of Sheriff Arpaio.
Ryan and Schumer working in tandem was just the latest example of the swamp dwellers uniting around their common desire to ruin Trump’s presidency.
