Ryan on Black Lives Matter: Have to respect different views
The Hill ^ | July 12, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 07/13/2016 8:08:59 AM PDT by maggief

Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday called the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement "profound" and said communities need to come together to find solutions to the issues people are facing.

"People feel like they're being discriminated against and they're not safe because of the color of their skin, so that's profound and because people believe that, we have to listen to that," Ryan said Tuesday during a CNN town hall.

"And we have to hear about it, we have to understand it and then, instead of just talking, let's go try solving it. The Speaker said people should "not harden ourselves in our corners so we stop listening to each other."

"Let's make sure that we can actually hear what people are saying and understand what their problems are. And I also think we need to be respectful of each other's different views."

After five policemen were killed in Dallas, Ryan said the community also needs to give law enforcement officers with the support they deserves.

"That means you can't blame the shooting on Black Lives Matter and you can't also blame the bad things that a couple cops do on all of the cops," he said.

"So let's make sure that we're not painting people with a broad brush here. Let's focus on paying respect to the people who are in charge of protecting our communities and the let's use two ears, one mouth and listen to the concerns that are out there."

Is this idiot really stupid enough to believe that BLM is about racial discrimination, rather than a political power play? Or is he just cynically playing to the low information idiots in his constituency who don’t understand this?

I know how to solve it Mr. Ryan. Give all blacks an endless supply of cash, set them up with a mansion in the South, and have whites pick their cotton...That will teach US a good lesson, huh?

It is not so much the attitude that is the problem, but the actions attached to it.

We, the people, must no longer accept the idea that criminal behavior is acceptable when an “underprivileged” group member does it.

Ryan certainly doesn’t “respect the views” of the presumptive GOP nom. He ran to a camera faster than Al Sharpton to call Trump racist.

I agree completely. We need to crack down immediately on this racist Black violence towards Whites. The complete lawlessness of these racial hate groups like BLM is intolerable.

Oh, wait a minute, you've got to be kidding, you mean Ryno was talking about WHITE racism towards Blacks?

Janesville, you have your marching orders towards freedom:

Notice how Quisling Ryan so casually accepts the Big Lies of Black Crimes Matter. It’s all based on lies. Hands up, don’t shoot never happened, etc.

I have not seen his latest poll numbers

But ALL FREEPERS should do WHATEVER YOU CAN to help him lose his primary in august

There would be no bigger shock to the establshment. It would energize other plain-speaking GOP patriots that like Trump.

Nehlan has openly supported Trum and Palin has endorsed him

His Primary is in August- so we need to devote the last 2 weeks to doing whatever we can. If you live close to there- drive there and carry signs. Call people. Send Nehlan money.

BUT PAUL RYNO MUST LOSE

Just more evidence here that Paul Ryan is a progressive. Nobody can be this stupid.

So, we’re supposed to respect John Wayne Gacy for his views on rape and sex. Got’cha.
