Protesters Boo House Speaker Paul Ryan on Visit to NYC Charter School
House Speaker Paul Ryan was greeted with jeers and boos when he visited the Success Academy charter school in Harlem Tuesday.
The Wisconsin Republican did not speak with reporters Tuesday as he slipped into the Success Academy charter school in Harlem. The school is run by Eva Moskowitz, who was considered for the post of U.S. secretary of education.
Some protesters were lined up outside the school as the car carrying Ryan pulled up and the speaker quickly walked out and into the school amid shouts of "Shame! Shame! Shame!"
The demonstrators were complaining about the GOP legislation to repeal and replace Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. They're also against charter schools, and criticized Ryan for only visiting Success Academy and not the public school that shares the same building.
