Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego threw a ton of punches at House Speaker Paul Ryan during an SXSW panel in Austin, Texas.

Gallego was discussing the Republican push to repeal Obamacare, a push that is being led by Ryan.

After mentioning the impending disaster of repealing the Affordable Care Act, he credited Paul Ryan for his ability to go on national television and lie about the consequences of the repeal.

Ryan is “one of the best liars I have ever seen in the world,” he told those in attendance.

Rep. Gallego was referring to Paul Ryan’s mockable “health care” presentation which featured some meme worthy PowerPoint slides!

Just for fun, here are a few of those memes.
