The host showed clips of Ryan railing against Democrats, criticizing them for “muscling through” a bill that “we haven’t read” and “don’t know how much \[it will\] cost.” Meyers said Ryan’s office later sent an email “taking issue” with the show’s analysis of the health care bill and defending what Meyers suggested was a rushed process. “We genuinely appreciate the engagement and would love to have Speaker Ryan on the show,” the _Late Night_ host said. As far as TIME can determine, Ryan has not yet responded to the invitation.
