He talked about the importance of respecting the opinions of one another in both governing and public debate, and outlined how he would like political discourse to evolve. Among his comments he stated, “In a confident America .... we question each other’s ideas vigorously, but we don’t question each other’s motives. If someone has a bad idea, we don’t think that they’re a bad person. We just think they have a bad idea.” He cited his own prior description of people accepting government assistance as “takers” as an example of behavior he called “wrong.” He said he has since come to understand more about the root causes of poverty. Speaker Ryan was introduced by Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
