Former U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan avoided unscripted interviews with independent journalists during his recent appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
When questioned by Ezra Levant about whether Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, Ryan responded: “I don’t do these interviews and walk.”
Levant also pressed Ryan on his apparent disdain for the forum’s theme of “the spirit of dialogue,” noting that Ryan has been “a bit pouty” since Trump dominated Republican politics following the 2016 election.
“When I talked to him last year, he said the same thing: ‘I don’t do interviews’ — you’re a politician, interviews are all you do,” Levant stated.
The conversation highlighted Ryan’s frustration with what he described as a “globalist swamp” for Republicans at the event.
