Ryan to Trump: 'Anti-Semitic images' have no place in campaign
POLITICO ^ | July 5, 2016 | Nick Gass

Posted on 07/05/2016 9:10:05 AM PDT by McGruff

Donald Trump needs to "clean up" his social media act, House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday. The declaration comes after the latest instance of the presumptive Republican nominee drawing a backlash for one of his tweets, namely the six-pointed star on a field of money next to Hillary Clinton's face and the words, "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!"

“Look, anti-Semitic images, they’ve got no place in a presidential campaign. Candidates should know that. The tweet’s been deleted. I don’t know what flunky put this up there. They’ve obviously got to fix that," Ryan told WTMJ's Charlie Sykes on his radio show. "We’ve got to get back to the issues that matter to the public. "

1- Just because a star has six points doesnt make it a Star of David. The star in the ad is not typically used to symbolize Judaism.

2-There are many police badges in that shape. Using it in a legal context is appropriate.

3- Hillary is not Jewish so using the symbol in an anti semetic context makes no sense. PS Hillary is known to use anti-jewish slurs.

4- Notice how Ryan quickly and unnecessarily accepted the RAT narrative that the symbol is the Star of David and its use was anti-semetic. He is not only a RINO, but a DemocRAT operative in Repub clothing (like most GOPe types).

I’m done with this guy. Primary him. Never donate to the RNCC until he’s out. I used to say just bust him back to Ways & Means instead of speaker, but this is ridiculous. Posting a clip art image of a start doesn’t make you anti-Semitic. Instead of pointing this out, he’s playing right into the left’s baiting.

Excuse me, but who in the hell does this little RINO twerp Ryan think he is?

There are not "Rules According To Hoyle (Ryan)" on how to play this game. Ryan's criticism was word-for-word, the same as Hillary's...."It's anti-Semitic."

What's anti-Semitic about showing a star? Shows you which side Ryan's really on.

I just figured out who Hillary is picking as her running mate: Paul Ryan.

Idiot dirtball.

I believe a Gilbert and Sullivan had something to say for such a man as Ryan....indeed the Ghosts of Ruddigore had Ryan perfectly pegged”Coward, poltroon, shaker, squeamer, blockhead, sluggard, dullard, dreamer, shirker, shuffler, crawler, creeper, sniffler, snuffler, wailer, weeper, earthworm, maggot, tadpole, weevil.”!

And now for the ultimate insult...As Ben Afflek is as an actor...so Ryan is as a politician!

Ryan is a traitor to our party and ideology, worse than even Boehner. He has been pushing more leftwing B.S. propaganda against Trump than many outright leftists. It’s amazing the contrast between his tendency to give Obama whatever he wants and his continually viciously and unfairly attacking Trump. I find Ryan one of the most disgusting and dishonorable of our elected officials. There is no one I want to see Cantorized more.

The compassionate midwest Holy Rollers Boehner/Ryan/Kasich are going to lecture Big Donnie on NY values & being accused of being an anti-semite.

We Freepers need to support Paul Nehlen. Send him a donation today. We need to get rid of That backstabbing liberal Clinton supporting Ryan. I just sent both Mr. Trump and Mr. Nehlen another donation. We can’t let that smug, smirking criminal bitch win the White House. If she does our great America will be no more unless we are all willing to go to Washington and refresh the tree of liberty before the Communist takes our guns. And send Freerepublic a donation while you’re at it.

Obviously, Ryan doesn’t like Trump, and obviously, he’s not being supportive. But this sounds like it could be more an off the cuff “Can we get on the the next question” brush off rather than a serious attack on Trump.

Would someone send this to Ryan!

Ryan, you have insulted every sheriff, deputy sheriff and CHP AHP wearing a 6 pointed star or has worn a 6 pointed star.

Better yet, would someone send this to Ryan's replacement next January!
