Paul Ryan Called Trump About Controversial Judge Remarks

“About the deportation, I don’t support that and he said, “Well, that’s not part of our agenda”. “And I hope that it gets there”.

If you’ve noticed Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has been a less-than-enthusiastic supporter of Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting Donald Trump, you’re not alone. And previous year, Ryan rebuked Trump for his proposal to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the U.S. But the 23-page document he unveiled at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington gained more attention for its implicit breaks with presumptive Republican Party nominee Donald Trump.

“I’ve spoken to him about the Muslim ban and how I disagree with it”, he said, acknowledging that he’s faced off against Trump over policy ideas. “The reason I say that, is as a Conservative, because I believe in the First Amendment, I believe in religious freedom, I believe in religious liberty”. “I said it publicly and I said it privately”, Ryan told host George Stephanopoulos.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) came out swinging Thursday, saying Republicans have surrendered to Donald Trump’s “dangerous discrimination agenda”.

She continued, “Thanks to Paul Ryan’s incorrect and hysterical statements referring to Trump as a RACIST, over an issue Ryan clearly does not understand, Obama’s White House is now taking his word as “gospel” and referring to Trump a ‘racist'”.

But hours later in an ABC News interview he pivoted in a more aggressive direction, calling Trump’s recent comments questioning the objectivity of a Hispanic federal judge “beyond the pale” and ‘something that needed to be condemned’.

Stephanopoulos asked Ryan about whether Trump understands the backlash his comments about the judge have caused. I think that should be absolutely disavowed.

‘I don’t know what’s in his heart, ‘ he declared. “History has shown us time and again that the world can only be a safer place when America leads, and we need American leadership again”, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said in his remarks.

House Speaker Paul Ryan laid out a Republican national security plan on Thursday that focuses on securing US borders and changing the immigration system, along with installing defenses to keep out drug cartels, criminals and extremists. But I do think, hope, and believe that he’s going to improve the tenor of the campaign, the tone of the campaign, the kind of campaign that it’s going to run.
