Speaker Ryan Blasts Trump for Refusing to Denounce KKK
National review ^ | March 1, 2016 | Elaina Plott

Posted on 03/01/2016 8:24:10 AM PST by C19fan

House Speaker Paul Ryan has been famously coy on his thoughts on the presidential race, evading questions from reporters on everything from Donald Trump’s meteoric rise to the possibility of a brokered convention. This morning, he broke that silence. Without naming names, Ryan blasted the Republican front-runner for his refusal to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and its former grand wizard David Duke, who has expressed his support for Trump. “If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican party, there can be no evasion and no games,” the speaker said from the podium at his weekly presser.

I’m not even voting for Trump and I think this is a bunch of nothing. Ryan is being an idiot.

“House Speaker Paul Ryan has been famously coy on his thoughts on the presidential race”

Did anyone ever, for a second, think the fool was for Donald Trump?

I regret that I had to vote for Mitt Romney for President and this clown for VP - and they still lost.

Does the KKK even have enough members to swing an election anywhere? I personally doubt it. This is more like the “dead cat” day.

When the news is slow you throw a dead cat in front of a politician and report his reaction.

Now days you throw the KKK slur in front of a politician and report his reaction.

Uniparty spokesman Paul Ryan (Wisconsin-U) joins with Democrats in mau-mauing Donald Trump over his failure to fist his forehead in obeisance to Uniparty race-baiters.

Everytime the media gets the vapors about a “Klan Rally” it invariably involves no more than five toothless products of inbreeding assembling on the steps of a County Courthouse somewhere.

Ryan is not just showing how evil he is, he is showing us how stupid he is. Trump is going to remember this when he becomes POTUS.

Ryan is such a shallow dupe. The media is playing him like a Walmart kazoo.

This whole story was invented to take attention away from Black Lives Matter going after Hillary Clinton. As always the media moves quickly to change the narrative and the RINOs fall in line.

I’m fed up with this garbage. They know perfectly well the reality of this story and they’re purposely lying about it. This is a candidate from their own party. First thing President Trump needs to do is clear the garbage out from his own party. Fight for people in leadership positions that care more about their country then politics.
