Paul Ryan is trying to be the leader Donald Trump refuses to be (CNN )

If Donald Trump won't lead, I will.

That's the message House Speaker Paul Ryan appears to be sending with a new statement -- released via his Facebook page Monday -- on the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and President Trump's remarkable "both sides" comments in its wake.

Headlined "Let There Be No Confusion," Ryan writes on Facebook:

"I still firmly believe this hate exists only on the fringes. But so long as it exists, we need to talk about it. We need to call it what it is. And so long as it is weaponized for fear and terror, we need to confront it and defeat it.

That is why we all need to make clear there is no moral relativism when it comes to neo-Nazis. We cannot allow the slightest ambiguity on such a fundamental question."

Hurry, Paul Ryan
You must find your people so you can lead them

Absolutely right. But we also need to make it clear that there is no moral relativism when it comes to the evils of violent left-wing radicals like those infesting the Antifa movement. Where are Ryan and Graham on Antifa?

“I still firmly believe this hate exists only on the fringes. But so long as it exists, we need to talk about it. “

Spoken like a true Weasel.

Ryan and CNN together makes sense! Both liars!

[LegendHasIt]

The leader of the D.I.A.B.L.O. faction?

I'm glad Trump refuses to be that.

Democrat In All But Label Only

Which, purely by coincidence ;-) means DEVILS in Spanish.

Great Republican Leaders, McCain, Ryan, Romney, or any other wimpy Republican that would have lost against Obama or Hillary. The Republicans played dirty, they let a leader take control of the Republican and Independent voters. Its not fair he doesn’t know how to lead and he uses bad words. He has divided the country and he’s a member of the ANP, and the KKK, and the AN, he whistles Dixie, eats grits, and catches cat fish and snapping turtles by hand, drinks Russian Vodka, yada yada yada ad nauseum. But he LEADS and will get things done, and do what it takes. There are going to be many crying, but the Nation will bounce back if he succeeds. The DC cabal is more worried about their $$$ to lead. Follow the $$$$, from CNN to their campaigns.

Actually, that is correct but Trump really can't be expected to be the leader of the Communist Opposition. That is why he refuses that task.

Ryan is a dweeb, not a leader.

Trump is a Lion and a King....
