Man's Photo With Paul Ryan in Racine: Epic Troll or Epic Insult?
Has a local man from Racine, Wis. entered the "trolling hall of fame" for his photo with Paul Ryan, or was it ill-advised?

RACINE, WI -- On Saturday, Twitter user @minnysconsin tweeted a photo of himself with House Speaker Paul Ryan at Pancake Day, a Kiwanis Club fundraiser in Wisconsin.
We don't know for sure, but either Speaker Ryan did not notice - or perhaps ignored - the man's T-shirt, which reads "Repeal and go f**k yourself."
