If Donald Trump won't lead, I will.
That's the message House Speaker Paul Ryan appears to be sending with a new statement -- released via his Facebook page Monday -- on the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and President Trump's remarkable "both sides" comments in its wake.
Headlined "Let There Be No Confusion," Ryan writes on Facebook:
"I still firmly believe this hate exists only on the fringes. But so long as it exists, we need to talk about it. We need to call it what it is. And so long as it is weaponized for fear and terror, we need to confront it and defeat it.
That is why we all need to make clear there is no moral relativism when it comes to neo-Nazis. We cannot allow the slightest ambiguity on such a fundamental question."

Go jump in front of a parade so it looks like you’re leading something, punk. No one is following you!
Paul Ryan couldn’t even lead a puppy with GPS. The guy is the definition of a coward and a wuss, the only time he ever opens his mouth is to bash Trump after the Rats do it.
He should’ve run for president in 2016 if he wanted that role.
Virtue signalling by a backstabbing opportunist who thinks he can score points at Trump’s expense by showing everyone how swell he is in comparison to Trump without having to say his name. We get it, Paul. You are who we thought you were. The guy who made us want an outsider like Trump who isn’t a phony snake like you.
Wow! How did you do that? I didn’t know Freep could make emoticons. First time I ever saw that on this website and I’ve been a member for 10 years.
So, the Communists aren’t as bad as the Nazis?
The News Media used to claim that it was unbiased.
Many Conservatives didn’t buy that and claimed that the News Media favored the Democrats.
That “paranoid” view was often laughed at (mostly by the Media).
Today, EVERYONE knows that the News Media hates Trump and is pushing a Liberal Democrat agenda.
Paul Ryan may claim that he’s trying to lead the Republican Party.
Many Conservatives don’t buy that and claim that Paul Ryan is basically a Liberal Democrat.
That “paranoid” view is often laughed at (mostly by the Media).
But any sensible person recognizes that the House and the Senate are led by Democrats.
Republican leadership really wish Hillary had won.
Ryan... DO YOUR F-ING JOB and maybe - MAYBE we’ll look towards you for a moral opinion.
You are a government leader first - not a role model (and even if you were a role model your behavior over the past 3 years is CERTAINLY not becoming of true leadership or anything that someone of good character should try to emulate.
You think you’re safe because of the oligarchy you belon to. You’re not and it’s high time you start to understand that because Trump is only the beginning.
I support Trump.
I do NOT support Ryan.
>>The guy is the definition of a coward and a wuss,
***************************************************
He’s just wholly bought and owned. Remember the article that named a half dozen Pubs that took Dem donations this past cycle? NONE of them are any different. They just wear different-colored costumes, one red, the other blue.
When Ryan feasts his eyes on this, he’ll think again.

Ryan is a swamp worm & CNN is a JOKE.
If anything Ryan is the leader of the corrupt status quo in Washington.
On CNN’s title: CNN, the speaker wasn’t elected.
And Ryan should not write stuff like this that makes Trump look bad—and that prolongs this mood against him.
Wasn’t that Prince’s name? LOL
Hey, Ryan, your lack of leadership has hurt America so much worse than any modern day Nazis could.
