Speaker Paul Ryan told House Republicans Monday that he won’t campaign with — or defend — Donald Trump and he urged his members to “do what’s best for you” in the month left before Election Day.
In a stinging rebuke to his party’s presidential nominee, the nation’s top elected Republican told fellow GOP members in a conference call that protecting the party’s House majority must be their priority going forward.
“The speaker is going to spend the next month focused entirely on protecting our congressional majorities,” Ryan’s spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, said in a statement.
During the call, Ryan said he “won’t defend Trump” or otherwise campaign for him between now and Election Day – telling Republicans in Congress to “do what’s best for you,” according to CNN.
Ryan did not say Monday whether he was reversing his endorsement of Trump.
Another spokesman for the Speaker, Zack Roday, said there is “no update in his position at this time.”
A person who listened to the call told CNN the reaction wasn’t entirely positive — and that Ryan’s comments angered some GOP members who believed he was effectively conceding the presidential contest to Hillary Clinton.

Paul Rino says that like it’s a bad thing.
Just a piece of dead weight (not to mention POS) lifted from the Trump campaign.
Those GOPe POS are pissed because Trump won and not one of their pussy RINO candidates.
Seems like a good reason to dump him as speaker
and when did this ass clown ever do that?
Tell it to your rapist friend, Bill Clinton:

Misleading title. Poor Ryan never campaigned with Trump.
Paul Ryan will be POISON for every rep he does campaign for. Trumpsters will heckle him everywhere from here on out. They will punish the turncoats by withholding their votes.
Ryan would hurt Trump if he appears with him.
Ryan wants to help the down ballot republicans? He just lost my vote for the down ballot republicans. Is he that damned stupid and out of touch? I think he is.
Ryan needs to leave congress. Move to France and be with the other pussies.
Paul RINO needs to be removed from office.
A turncoat Speaker is far more dangerous than a freshman Democrat.
Ryan wants to put bills in front of Trump that will have to be vetoed for the good of the country....and then he can drive a wedge deeper into Trump’s heart.
If the American people have their way and can defeat the voter fraud, then Ryan and GOPe elites like him will be toast...
I look forward to that...
Interesting that Ryan is so upset with Trump regarding the “locker room” talk since Ryan himself spends so much time in one.
I just sent the Trump campaign a contribution. I urge others to do whatever they can. Let’s go full-court press to 11/8!!
Who Cares
That spineless jellyfish couldn’t even defend himself when crazy Joe Biden stomped all over his ass in the debate.
We need to vote these pussycons out.
No longer? Did he ever?
