Speaker Ryan Blasts Trump for Refusing to Denounce KKK
National review ^ | March 1, 2016 | Elaina Plott

Posted on 03/01/2016 8:24:10 AM PST by C19fan

House Speaker Paul Ryan has been famously coy on his thoughts on the presidential race, evading questions from reporters on everything from Donald Trump’s meteoric rise to the possibility of a brokered convention. This morning, he broke that silence. Without naming names, Ryan blasted the Republican front-runner for his refusal to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and its former grand wizard David Duke, who has expressed his support for Trump. “If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican party, there can be no evasion and no games,” the speaker said from the podium at his weekly presser.

Myself and every other Republican I know plan to re-register as Independent/Un-Affiliated after voting on the 15th. The Republican Party can go straight to hell.

” ... he did denounce them.

But a simple, single denunciation wasn’t enough.

He didn’t whip his own bleeding back with a cat o’ nine tails, don a hair shirt then debase himself by walking on his knees for the MSM, head down, all the while muttering, “I’m not worthy.”

Funny to see the MSM/GOPee/Romney/Open Borders cabal going complete Mississippi 14 on Trump.

Disgusting to see so many, here, joining right in.

Telling.

If anyone wants to blame someone for the widespread racial violence (black & brown vs whites & Asians), look no further than the GOP, which has catered to the racists in the Rat party. Every action like this increases the conflict in this country.

The Republican Party has committed suicide.

Trump was asked a question about a supposed David Duke endorsement...he answered it on the spot saying he was not familiar with Duke.

Later he indicated that he denounced it.

There is no equivocation in that. I talked to my mother-in-law about it and she asked me, “Who is David Duke?”

Not everyone keeps tabs on David Duke or his history.

Later still, Duke himself said he had never endorsed Trump in the first place.

This was a set up from the get go.

The MSM, the DNC, the GOPe are all melting down because they fear Trump...which is to say they fear the American people.

...and well they should. This election has the potential of being a 2016 version of an 1880 tar and feathering party.

One other thing, the local Media in Charlotte, NC has been hammering the “KKK” meme with regards to Trump all day. The Media, at every level, is the enemy of the truth.

Every idiot race patsy just has to pile on.

Is there supposed to be some relevance to the KKK? In 2016?

What do they have, 73 members?

Why Cruz is more dangerous than Trump (explained in less than 2 minutes) - (And Reich even draws pictures for us)

This is a “must watch” video! Please share it with friends and family!

By Robert B. Reich who has endorsed Bernie Sanders because Hillary’s economic proposals are too modest. Reich was a Clinton administration Secretary of Labor, 1993 – Jan., 1997

If the GOPE and the Progressives prefer Trump over Cruz, that’s good enough for me….

I’m voting for Ted Cruz!

“If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican party, there can be no evasion and no games,” the speaker said from the podium, "unless you are playing or evading the conservative base. Then we don't care and will support you fully. Did I tell you Pelosi said my beard was sexy?"

Fixed it.

I regret that I had to vote for Mitt Romney for President and this clown for VP - and they still lost.

What's funny is that people are saying not to trust your vote with Trump, yet many of us fully trusted sending our votes to Romney/Ryan and they have absolutely betrayed us on every level. Sheesh, if Trump delivers on a single promise he'll be better than these two Rinos

Ryan is doing what he’s told. Keep the KKK story alive at least thru the end of the day.

There was a time in our country when denouncing the KKK and the Jim Crow South took courage. Today it’s a difficult as a much loved son entering his father’s home at Christmas.

Ryan - the threat of the KKK was the Establishment in the South ‘looked the other way’ at their evil because KKK evil helped prop from up.

The ones to condemn in OUR TIME are the groups doing the same... look around you Paul... there are still REAL enemies to fight.. NOT the ghosts of evil past...

Not sure why you’re spamming threads with that.

The GOPee/Progs/Romney/Open Borders cabal obviously DO NOT prefer Trump....have you watched any of the 24/7 news outlets, in the past few days???

CRuz is a part of that cabal.

No thanks!

That’s why I voted for Trump, in Texas.

Anyone this dumb and/or deceitful doesn’t belong in the speakership. Who does he represent?
