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.

I know Trump has to play nice with Ryan for now. I wish he would go to WI and campaign for Nehlen. That would send a message to Ryan.
“One is featured on my Freeper page”
I read about him and also saw a documentary on him. Osama sent a suicide bomber to kill him. If we had supported him on a timely basis 9/11 might never have happened. Albright is John Kerry in a dress.
God help us.
The government is out to destroy us.
Michael Medved just praised Ryan’s statement, except only for the part criticizing the Obama Administration. Traitors and idiots everywhere.
Middle Eastern oil money has compromised almost everyone at the national level....almost everyone. Wow.
These people are not stupid (Well, some of them are)
They have been bought. They have a word for that.
Ryan is getting to be an insufferable POS.
I think what the GOPe is doing attempting to create a new paradigm whereby it is okay to ignore the primaries and have the delegates “select” the GOPe candidate of their choosing (Jeb Bush perhaps, Romney?, Ryan?)
Paul Ryan was brought into DC politics to push amnesty, free trade...by CESAR CONDA. He is OWNED. (Conda is powerful and is Rubio’s chief of staff and an immigration lawyer who destroyed prop 187 in Calif along with Grover Norquist.)

Who runs the GOP and owns Paul Ryan & Marco Rubio? Let’s name names!
[snip]
Cesar Conda and his biggest ally, Grover Norquist have an agenda. It is to control the Republican party and the candidates who run in these elections who will implement the policies they want in place to profit their various NON profit scams. They are not conservative or moderate or any other label you can hang on them. They are NOTHING but amoral profiteers having found a gullible constituency in a nation of people easily fooled.
The agenda? Every lopsided, cheap labor ‘trade’ agreement that comes down the pike…Nafta, Gatt, Most favored nation status for China, TPP and on and on. They are actually treaties, but this little group has a congress willing to abdicate it’s power to call them ‘free trade agreements’.
AND
Uncontrolled legal and illegal immigration from South of the border and terrorist Muslim nations. Grover Norquist, married to a Pakistani Muslim who was active in the Bush Administration is the man who LED the push for the Mosque at Ground Zero. Donald Trump is the man who fought it! As Karl Rove, another part of this little K St. GOP power cabal, is proud to say, Norquist ‘brought home the Muslim vote for Bush’. They stocked the various agencies with their people!
They’ve become used to power, and they’re NOT going to give it up easily to the ONE MAN, DONALD TRUMP, who seeks to expose and end this corruption.
These people don’t ‘lobby’ our leaders…they OWN them. They write the legislation! Grover Norquist WROTE George Bush’s amnesty! Conda/Norquist WROTE the gang of 8 amnesty that THEIR little whore Marco Rubio pushed!
They also RUN all your favorite ‘conservative’ institutions who are in your mailbox EVERY day conning you out of money to fund our destruction. And we smile, hope and write the check to:
Americans for Tax Reform, CPAC, The American Conservative Union, Freedomworks, Tea Party Express, Tea Party Patriots, Heritage, CLUB FOR GROWTH, the NRSC, NRCC and SO many more!
Every candidate PROMISED to support the GOP nominee and DEMANDED that Donald Trump SIGN and agree to do the same. Many are breaking that pledge.
Trump has kept his word.
EVERY candidate, save ONE, also PLEDGED their allegiance to Grover Norquist when they signed his infamous ‘pledge’. He OWNS your GOP congress. He OWNS over 1300 STATE legislators! IF you don’t do what the Grover Club tells you to, you will never win another election. They have taken out many good candidates.
Donald Trump is the ONLY presidential GOP candidate who has not signed that UNAMERICAN oath and onto Grover/Conda’s agenda.
NONE of this is a secret! SO many of us have tried for years to expose this stinking mess!
To be sure, Norquist, Conda, Rove are not the only ones. But they are generals in their sovereignty destroying army. They involve lobbyist run Tea Parties to confuse the grass roots, Ralph Reed and his Christian Coalition to confuse the faithful, Steven Moore who is head economist of Heritage and mouthpieces like Hugh Hewitt and likely Levin, Limbaugh, Beck and others to fool the talk radio audience.

You are so beyond correct, the rightness of your statement is immeasurable. Treason...and all involved MUST be hanged.
Ryan is utterly daft.
Quote:
“Ryan is done.
He’s WAAAAAY up over his primary opponent in all polling I’ve seen.”
The plan is see to it that Hillary wins then run Ryan against her in 2020. It look like nothing short of a nuclear device set-off in San Francisco will return this country to sanity and i’m not sure even that would do it.
Quote:
“God help us.
The government is out to destroy us.”
At least the White, Christian part.
There will have to be major surgery to get the shj medved’ s head out of his tush,for Ryan it is inoperable,too far up.
Cantorized this traitor
The constant bowing down to Islam, unfrickingbelievable!
It’s sad to watch the party of Lincoln die.
Yes. That is what I heard Trump say and I agree with him a zillion percent.
Where’s Grover Norquist getting all his money from?
Don’t tell me....
