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.

Nothing better than “Backstrap of Puppy” w/plum sauce...Just ask Ted Nugent.
Speaker Ryan is a clueles, gutless coward and crony capitalist suck up. He and his ridiculous statement can go to hell. WHen was the last time HE renounced David DUke and the KKK? DO we have to do it every day now? Everytime some liberal group asks it?
Go pound salt Ryan and take the entire gutless GOP establishment with you.
He has been practising a long time.
Bingo!! Screw Ryan.
Bingo!! Screw Ryan.
If only the GOPe could go after the Left with as much gusto!
Ryan is a little POS who I wouldn’t trust with my lunch money!
I LIKE THAT!!! Great campaign Slogan - “Bump Boehner Boy, Vote (Anyone else)”
I denounce Paul Ryan and the entire rat infested GOP.
Trump knew it was a “gotcha question” and he was simply formulating his words so that the establishment couldn’t use sound bites to falsely nail him on it. Although, they will still try.
Hardly a month goes by in which either Romney or Ryan make some idiotic/repellent statement that leaves me once again happy that I never sullied myself with them, leaving my 2012 presidential ballot blank, for the first time.
Ryan further descends into the dustbin of future political irrelevance...
Ryan - another Republican who cowers in fear of Obama and the Democrats.
Charlotte radio news(ABC) at the half-hour(during Rush Limbaugh Show)played Ryan’s audio sound bite.
Message: Trump and his supporters don’t belong in the Republican Party.
GOP: Die. Just effin’ die.
Trump knew it was a “gotcha question” and he was simply formulating his words so that the establishment couldn’t use sound bites to falsely nail him on it. Although, they will still try.
How many did you beat your wife questions is he forced to answer? Hysteria is unbelievable.
I have no reason to believe he ever has, but it's a serious issue that should be investigated thoroughly.
Same here. Any chance Ryan gets Cantored?
Also heard verbatim Duke's comment that he did not endorse Trump
I guess Paul Ryan doesn't verify facts before spouting off, does he?
Trump needs to stop dealing with this. It is like a pack of hounds nipping at him to draw blood. Donald go on offense make one final definitive statement and tell these jerks to knock it off.
The Mar A Lago club being prima facie evidence that Trump shook up the racist antisemitic old guard in Palm Beach before it was fashionable to do so
Trump disavowed/denounced David Duke several times - these are scummy establishment types on both sides grasping at straws.

Maybe he can Butcher Pete to come over and chop that meat.
Be quiet, Ryan. You are a disappointment and most likely, a turncoat. Obama and Hillary have never had to denounce their many racist supporters. Aren’t you running late for your golf date with Obama?
Don’t want to keep him waiting, now do you?
