In the audiotape, recorded Oct. 10, 2016, Ryan told his fellow GOP legislators that ““I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future.” Ryan spoke shortly after the public heard the Access Hollywood tape of Trump’s conversation in which he said about women that “when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

I am going to get flamed probably for this, but the context of this situation needs to be recalled.

I didn't stop supporting Trump in the wake of this episode, but Ryan wasn't talking about defending Trump in anything other than the context of these remarks. IIRC, even Melania had the same reaction.

Ryan may or may not be a weasel--but these remarks and the context within which they were spoken do not have anything to do with Trump and the current situation.

Ryan wasn't talking about defending Trump in anything other than the context of these remarks.

“I am not going to defend Donald Trump's disgraceful comments —not now, not in the future.”
“I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future.”

Danged if I can see the difference, can you?

I’ll race you to the hall closet where my flame retardant suit hangs because that’s the same way I understood Ryan’s comments.

What Dobbs is getting pissy over is the strength lacking in Ryan and Price to simply put all the politics aside and do what’s right for the American people.
