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."

He WANTS that role but WE don’t want him LYIN RYAN!!!
Or to put it another way, Donald Trump is trying to be the leader Paul Ryan refuses to be.
Ryan couldn't lead his own way out of a wet paper bag.
We hate you Ryan. You are a loser and a liar.
Ryan is the CNN of the GOP.
I wouldn’t follow Ryan into an outhouse if I had explosive diarrhea!!! He is a pitiful excuse for a leader and an even sorrier excuse as a man.
Ryan...backstabbing opportunist who thinks he can score points at Trumps expense
We have seen this before...Everytime media goes after Trump, Ryan NEVER EVER BACKS UP GOP PRESIDENT...Instead HE TAKES ADVANTAGE...This is Ryan SOP.
JERK!
Ryan is no leader. A leader would have had a completed bill to repeal and replace Obamacare on the President’s desk on Inauguration Day. Instead, Ryan and McC were still trying to find a way to get rid of President Trump. R and McC aren’t even embarrassed at their failure.
Paul Ryan couldn’t find his ass with both hands even if you spotted him the first nine fingers. That’s why Chris Cillizza is helping him.
As any Trump supporter should/would be ;)
Thank you President Trump for refusing to be the kind of ‘leader’ Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Trey Gowdy, Bob Corker, John McCain, etc. are.
President Trumps remarkable both sides comments in its wake.
The remarkable thing is that WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY TELLS THE TRUTH!!!
Ryan wouldn’t have done any better than Yeb!, they had the same platform.
Ryan: “As long as there is a single Neo-Nazi in this country, we must have a “national discussion” about it so we can tie up news coverage to prevent people from discussing issues that really matter to them.
It’s good to see how completely in sync Ryan is with the philosophy of the left. This same type of argument is used to justify every big government program from Obamacare to Welfare. (i.e. As long as a single person doesn’t have or was unable to attain health insurance, we must have government run health insurance.)
Conservatism does not seem to work for conservatives,only for corporations and Ryan is a prime reason.
Paul Ryan is a mother’s mistake who could not lead flies to a pile of dog feces.
How many more ‘national discussions’ about race do we need to have, Ryan? We’ve been having a ‘national discussion’ about race for most of my 54 years. Look where your ‘national discussions’ have gotten us, Ryan. These ‘national discussions’ have never solved a thing, and aren’t about solving anything, but about perpetuating or creating problems. We’re on to you, RINO Ryan, you pathetic excuse for a sentient being.
Reminds me of another ‘problem’ politicians and the press have tried to solve for us -Global Warming, (’The greatest threat to man-kind’ tm)
Heylil Paulie things are really bad when FNN has to puff you up.
Paul has a spine like a spaghetti noodle
