“On Friday Speaker Ryan threatened to sue Donald Trump in court if he tried to impose a temporary ban on Muslim migration to America.”
Care to post what Ruan actually said? I think not.
That was Tucker Carlson’s and Jimmy Hoft’s summary....
Here is the extended interview.
“I would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers,” Ryan said in a back-and-forth about Trump’s claims that he could implement a Muslim ban or build a Mexican border wall without congressional approval.
Ryan said he wasn’t sure of the “legal question” of whether Trump could institute a Muslim ban on his own as president.
“That’s a legal question that there’s a good debate about,” he said, citing the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act.
“On the broader question, are we going to exert our Article I powers and reclaim this Article I power no matter who the president is? Absolutely,” Ryan said. He also said he discussed the limits of the executive power with Trump.
In the interview, Ryan said his endorsement of real estate mogul did not give Trump “a blank check,” and that he was still trying to achieve “real unity” between the presumptive nominee and his caucus.
**** NOTE: UNIPARTY RYAN used the term REAL UNITY.
