Speaker Ryan Honors Charles Krauthammer on House Floor (The Washington Free Beacon)
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan honored the late conservative intellectual Charles Krauthammer on the floor of the House of Representatives on Friday.
"I want to pause for a moment to honor the life of Dr. Charles Krauthammer," Ryan said.
Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer passed away on Thursday after a battle with cancer. Earlier this month, Krauthammer announced an aggressive form of cancer returned and he had only weeks to live. He spent the past year recovering from a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his abdomen and the complications that followed. He was 68 years old.
"Dr. Krauthammer was a widely respected conservative thinker. He wrote columns for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. Charles was paralyzed since college, he wrote the most vigorous commentary of our age," Ryan said. "He was a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, he had the perfect training to analyze our politics."
