'Muslims are our partners': Paul Ryan wallops Trump a day after terror speech...
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 14, 2016 | David Martosko

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.

Ryan is a bit big for his britches. He’s one guy from the 50 states. He acts like he’s more. Ryan, shut up with your Nwo talking points. We don’t care what you say.

I think the GOPe stalwarts led by Ryan & McConnell are trying to goad Trump into lashing out at them. Should they succeed in doing so, it will add to the narrative of “he’s not qualified, he doesn’t have the temperament”, “he won’t be able to get along with even his own party”. This makes them look studious & dignified and Trump like the reactive hothead.

I can only hope Trump is acquiring better and better “staff” and advisors, because he’s being conspired against by literally everyone else.

“”Ryan’s tone emphasized the cooperation the U.S. receives from more moderate Muslim governments around the world.””

Gee - and that’s why we see it on display every day, right? Especially after a massacre like the one in Orlando. I can see them falling all over themselves to condemn the people capable of these savage acts. That goes for their multitude of followers also. Can’t wait to get to the microphones, can they? I’ve been waiting since 9/11 to see it and am still waiting.

Are these politicians THAT far out of touch with reality? He knows and he knows we know that not one single muslim country has a leader to come out and condemn the actions of ANY of the thugs/savages/beasts/murderers that cause mayhem each and every day in all parts of the globe.

That’s with the exception of the King of Jordan and he is VERY exceptional. A friend of the U. S. and one fighting the enemy on his doorstep. If push came to shove with the current administration, obozo would turn his back on the King.

Exactamundo. Psywar going on here. Also, Trump is hamstrung with the upcoming convention and trying to get a donor network set up. GOP backstabbing of Trump and enabling of the Butcher of Benghazi is nothing short of treason. Americans are dying on the streets do to Democrat policies (sanctuary cities, terrorism, etc.) and if the GOP gets their way with Hillary POTUS many more Americans will die. History will damn them all.

I cannot vote for Nehlen as I live in So Cal, but I can contribute which I did this morning.

Please Wisconsin: Make Ryan the Cantor of 2016!

Paul Ryan, like his bro Obama, puts Muslim immigrants ahead of Americans.

They both deserve exile.

“Michael Medved just praised Ryan’s statement,”

Birds of feather.

Medved began political life as a Communist sympathizer during Vietnam. He’s simply changed the object of his treason.
