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.

La Guillotine, she is thirsty, non? Stay thirsty, mes amis, stay thirsty.
The United States Government has entirely sold out to Saudi Arabia. If they are coming in...real America is going to have to find someplace else to go. We have only one chance left.
Give me a couple of examples Ryan.
Bain’s, Soros’ and Romney’s whore is Mr. Ryan
who supported every kickback and funding of ObamaTRADE,
funding of IRAN nukes, and importing incurable diseases.
Incurable tuberculosis should be named after Ryan.
That’s right. If Ryan ever runs for POTUS, I’ll be #NeverRyan.
Ryan is just parroting the Pope .
He needs to go just like the one before him.
Partners in crime.
This is getting foolish. The GOP are traitors.
He is worse than a fool. I wonder how the people in his district feel? Is is relatively liberal one?
Romney’s tool.
Off with the fool!
Don't worry, Ryan's words carry about as much influence as an editorial candidate endorsement from Hustler Magazine.
You can’t keep using the rope, if you’re dropping them. La Guillotine, all she needs is a stone.
Paul Ryan is just a dirty little shirt.
Hemp is cheaper and less likely to malfunction—Fewer moving parts.
And there are plenty of oak trees and lamp posts on Capitol Hill.
“More efficient, less mess, can handle up to 6 at a time”
The sixth would need to bring his/her own rope.
Two is enough.
Let those traitors wait in line stewing for a longer reflection time.
Say nothing......Do nothing
Doubt Ryan makes it the end of the week as the convention chair.
