RantCrush Top 5: May 8, 2017

Over the weekend a photo of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan posing with a young man in a t-shirt went viral. But what Ryan didn’t appear to notice is that the man was wearing a shirt that mocks Ryan. The shirt read “Repeal and go f*ck yourself,” a play on Ryan’s plan to “Repeal and Replace” Obamacare. The shirt is merchandise from “Pod Save America,” a popular liberal political podcast hosted by former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Tommy Vietor, and Daniel Pfeiffer.

The hosts were understandably delighted to see Ryan happily posing with one of their fans:

@Minnysconsin @jonlovett @TVietor08 Oh my god this is amazing
