Paul Ryan Calls Donald Trump’s Attack on Judge ‘Racist,’ but Backs Him Still
New York Times ^ | JUNE 7, 2016 | DAVID M. HERSZENHORN

WASHINGTON — Speaker Paul D. Ryan on Tuesday called Donald J. Trump’s criticism of a Hispanic-American judge “the textbook definition of a racist comment” and said he “regrets” the remark. But Mr. Ryan also reiterated his support for Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, against Hillary Clinton.

“I disavow these comments — I regret those comments that he made,” Mr. Ryan said after announcing a new Republican anti-poverty initiative in Anacostia, an overwhelmingly black neighborhood in Washington.

“Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,” Mr. Ryan continued. “I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable. But do I believe that Hillary Clinton is the answer? No, I do not.”

He added, “I believe that we have more common ground on the policy issues of the day and we have more likelihood of getting our policies enacted with him than with her.”

Mr. Trump made the comments about Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel of Federal District Court, who is overseeing a suit against the now-shuttered Trump University.

Pressed on Mr. Trump’s doubling down on his position that he is skeptical of the objectivity of nonwhite judges, Mr. Ryan said, “If you say something that is wrong, the mature and responsible thing is to acknowledge that it’s wrong.”

The point is to make the civil loss in order to have a criminal case, creating a ‘see, he’s indicted, too’ situation.

The bottom line here is, the reason why so many of these limp wristers get scared is because they don’t remember what it actually looks like to fight back...they are so used to squatting and peeing themselves at the first sign of push back. Trump called out a judge for his clearly demonstrated bias...The judge is biased, there is absolutely no denying it and therefore the judge is NOT capable of being impartial...The judge is biased, period.

Quote:

“So now Trump speaks the obvious: the judge’s decision is politically motivated, based on his membership in a race-based leftist group, La Rasa.
Will that ruin Trump?

Time will tell. “

If it “ruins Trump” it ruins Americans of European descent as well. The Left is seizing the opportunity to relegate Whites to 2nd Class status, jumping the gun on the Population Replacement progrom begun in 1965.

It was “open season” on Whites last Friday in San Jose. Fight back or expect more of the same.

Ryan has won a House seat from one district in Wisconsin, and he won the Rino insider politics game in the House of Representatives. That’s all he’s won, so who appointed him a spokesman for the Republican party and those who voted Republican in the primaries?

Ryan added nothing to the 2012 Republican ticket and he’s the most overrated member of the House during the past several decades.

I never recall a speaker sticking his nose into presidential politics the way Ryan is doing this election cycle. A primary defeat for this character on August 9 would be the best thing that could happen.

The answer is absolutely NO, IMO. The American people are fed up to the max.

Still waiting for some lefty to show concrete proof of Trump’s racism. I have yet to see any. But … this comment is not helping him at all. If he wants to go after this judge for being a La Raza whacko, that’s great. But just saying “he’s a Mexican” isn’t going to accomplish that.

Think before you speak, Mr. Trump. It will help.

No one needs paul ryan-boehener's endorsement.

And I'd like to know why paul ryan is rascist.

Why does paul ryan hate white people so much?
Why does paul ryan hate Christians?
Why does paul ryan hate Americans that are here legally?

And most of all why does Paul Ryan-Boehner hate the truth?
So much that he and his ilk are defending the shifty looking connections of a judge.

I guess after turning his cheek from all of the other things over the last seven years, it's just easy for him now,
to instruct other people to just shut up and bend over...

Hey Ryan: He’s a member of La Raza - for the race everything, outside the race nothing - you retard.

Would you say the same thing if he was a member of the KKK?
Didn’t think so...they are EXACTLY the same thing.

“Mexican” is a nationality, not a race.

I’m still amazed people don’t see Trumps mastery. Everyone was talking about Trump U. So he says, ok, lets talk about the judge. Now that is ALL anyone is discussing. This will lead to the judge being examined and eventually off the case and Trump wins again.

Paul Ryan, the POS that actually makes me miss Boehner. Just one more RINO who needs to be sent hiking back to Wisconsin.

Is there anyone who actually thought that this girlie-man would say anything differently?

RINO Ryan is a nine-term incumbent and the poster boy for term limits.

He's what's wrong with the GOP

There is no being “non-racist” with these people, there is no “cleansing” of the racism of being born with a white skin. Tbere is only a lessening of accusations when you become obedient. It is like the jizya leveled by the muslims, it only postpones the judgement of death on the infidel. But the muslims can claim this elevation above the eternally disenfranchised and downtrodden: if you become muslim, they will receive you, while there is no redemption with the haters of white skin outside of death.

I have no plans to climb a pyramid and rip out my heart for one people’s bloodlust or strip off my skin for another people to use as a battle flag. My white guilt account has been empty long enough that the bank no longer sends me letters.

Done venting.

Has Paul Ryan EVER called a Democrat “racist”? I doubt it. Ryan is baiting Trump big time here. It would be appropriate to remove him from the convention, IMO.

I wouldn’t have called someone a racist and then turn around and say I support him, that is stupid. Trump is not a racist he just calls a spade a spade.

I’m with you. . .if it weren’t for Ryan and the primary . . .there would be no backing of Trump on anything.
