'Waste of my f*cking time': hot mic at GOP press conference catches some heat
Ah, yes: "Waste of my f*cking time." It's a phrase many Americans have probably found themselves thinking, recently.
But some of them can't hold it in, as evidenced by the way a hot microphone caught someone expressing their unedited opinion during a GOP press conference on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.
After House Speaker Paul Ryan concluded the press conference where he answered questions on President Trump's recent travel ban, a hot mic on CNN caught someone complaining about the conference just as Ryan walks off stage.
"F*ck. Waste of my f*cking time," the person can be heard saying under their breath. It's unclear if that person was at the press conference, an upset journalist, or if it was a microphone feed from CNN.
Many were quick to point the blame at Speaker Ryan, but a closer look revealed that the words weren't coming from him. It's also unlikely Ryan would be wearing a portable microphone at the press conference considering most of the media's microphones are located at the podium or in the crowd. Not to mention it doesn't sound like him at all.

As Mediaite points out, even Nancy Pelosi’s Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill accused Ryan of uttering the phrase in a tweet that has since been deleted.
Later, Ryan's communication director, Mike Ricci, responded to Hammill stating that it was not Ryan who said it."You know better," he scolded Hammill in the tweet.

Needless to say, someone didn't enjoy the GOP's press conference.
