House Speaker Paul Ryan drove another wedge between himself and Donald Trump on Tuesday with a stinging rebuke of his party's presumptive presidential nominee's proposed pause on non-citizen Muslim immigration – saying 'Muslims are our partners' in the war on terror.
'I do not think a Muslim ban is in our country's interest,' Ryan said during a press conference at the Republican National Committee's Capitol Hill headquarters.
'I do not think it is reflective of our principles – not just as a party, but as a country,' he said. 'And I think the smarter way to go in all respects is to have a security test, not a religious test.'
Ryan's comments came just a day after Trump seemed to walk back his December 2015 notion of a religious test for entry into the U.S. until homeland security officials can get a handle on the potential for terrorist infiltration.
Instead he shifted to the idea of nation-specific immigration limits tied to terrorism incidents.
'The immigration laws of the United States give the president powers to suspend entry into the country of any class of persons,' Trump said during a speech in Manchester, New Hampshire, saying such judgments are 'to be determined by the president for the interests of the United States. And it’s as he or she deems appropriate.'
'I will use this power to protect the American people,' he continued. 'When I’m elected I will suspend immigration from areas of the world where there’s a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how to end these threats.'
Ryan's tone emphasized the cooperation the U.S. receives from more moderate Muslim governments around the world.
'This is a war with radical Islam. It is not a war with Islam,' the speaker said.

This should be its own thread. Please.
Norquist...yet ANOTHER in a long line of Harvard-educated traitors from Assachusetts.
“This is a war with radical Islam. It is not a war with Islam”
Ryan, you idiot, there is no earthly way to vet a Muslim and distinguish which is which. We may not be at war with Islam, but Islam is definitely at war with us.
Also, what make this twerp think he should resist the person who the voters placed as the presumptive nominee, that makes him think that his opinions are more valuable and more important than the ones of the candidate who placed his views before the voters?
I can only hope that this twerp is retired in August.
Ryan needs to resign when Trump is President or he needs to be thrown out on his butt like Boner.
Ryan you ignorant slut, we still have 3 weeks of Ramadan to get through. Good to know that the DC Cartel is fully engaged and protecting its citizens
No I haven’t. And you ain’t seen nothing yet. The assault on Trump is going to go warp drive and soon.
I detest Ryan. He’s no patriot.
I agree......This treason by the marxist muslim Uniparty must be exposed.
I just couldn’t believe there were that many in D.C. on the take. The place needs to be razed to the ground.
Thanks for this speaker, Freedom Caucus! Should be the Freedom Action Group:
“One day, you’ll all look at the world us congressmen created and say, ‘Wow, good going, FAG! You really made the world a better place, didntcha, FAG?’”
This fool ryan is a moozlum-terrorist-loving idiot. Does he hope more American Citizens are murdered? What a compromised fool.
Wallops?
” I’ve never heard Conda mentioned before on Talk radio. Norquist only a few times.”
Limbaugh...Levin...Beck...will NEVER mention them...they are THEIR bosses too! Beck started about 2 years ago on Norquist and his being on the board of the NRA (actually Grover is on the board of Chamber of commerce, NRA...and MANY more )then stopped suddenly and never mentioned him again.
Donald Trump is the only candidate NOT taking NOrquist’s blood oath. Those that do are beholden to him and his one world order BS.

Ryan is a fool.
He is NOT a fool.
He knows exactly what he's doing.
You're laboring under the delusion, like many Republican voters, that Paul Ryan and his ilk are simply misguided Republicans.
They're not.
They are globalists that are working together with the Democrats.
They're all ON THE SAME TEAM.
These teet suckers like Ryan see their trough slipping away.
. . .Wiper of other people’s bottoms. . . .
Thanks.
It’s going to take a nuclear bomb to wake these fools out of their PC stupor.
Ryan must be bought and paid for by Muslim money.
The Dems walked on his moment of silence and he grinned like the Chesire cat.
What a dolt.
Geez....and, to think we thought Boehner was bad. This guy gets worse by the day.
I want to see Trump come out swinging against little Ryan. Why is he holding back this time? Is Ryan trying to egg him on or what? Would love to see Trump tear into him but then Trump is a good negotiator so I’ll just wait to see what he does but this seems to call for a counterpunch.
