Speaker Paul Ryan visited the New York City charter school Harlem Success Academy on Monday, and New Yorkers are pissed.
They took to the streets to protest Ryan’s visit with a slew of health care-focused signs. People even chanted “Shame” a la Game of Thrones.
Shortly before Ryan’s arrival at Harlem Success Academy the hashtag #ExcuseMeMrSpeaker burst onto the Twitterverse in full force.

#ExcuseMeMrSpeaker but healthcare is a human right. You take it away and we'll take your job away. Period. #TheResistance

Just what we need - another white guy in Harlem. Paul Ryan must have heard they're building a Whole Foods on 125th. #ExcuseMeMrSpeaker
