Paul Ryan: Trump 'messed up' Charlottesville response
CNN ^ | August 21, 2017 | Lauren Fox

Posted on 08/21/2017 7:52:13 PM PDT by McGruff

House Speaker Paul Ryan said Monday he believed President Donald Trump "messed up" in his response to the recent racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, when he equated neo-Nazis and white supremacists with counterprotesters.

"I do believe that he messed up in his comments on Tuesday when it sounded like moral equivocation or at the very least moral ambiguity when we need extreme moral clarity," Ryan told CNN's Jake Tapper at a town hall in Racine, Wisconsin, referencing a news conference Trump had last week.

When asked by an audience member whether he would back censuring Trump, Ryan said he would not back such a measure, adding that the issue cannot devolve into a partisan fight.

If anyone here wants to know whats scumbags the “counter protesters” are, check this.

It will cause some sleepless nights.

There is something going on behind the curtain that we are not aware of. Six cops shot on the same day in two states separated by about 1,00 miles....

Not a coincidence.

I now believe this is a greater danger to our country than ISIS.

And one more thought. How can high up government officials not be aware of this information? And if they are, why did they not come to President Trump’s aid instead of either stabbing him in the back or snickering at him from behind the door?

Ryan needs to stop listening to his Klinton RICO Krime Family handlers.

Trump didn’t muff anything, but if he had it would have been one incident.

Ryan has muffed the last several years.

Okay, I would like for him to answer this: if he is walking down the street and sees a group of masked Antifas coming is way, would he say, “Hey, guys, look at the kooky outfits the kids are wearing these days,” or would his security detail suddenly become more alert? Sure— Antifa, BLM, anarchists, Communists — you can’t tell them from a bunch of Quakers.

Would it be bad form for OAN or Brietbart to pointblank ask ryan if he is compromised (as in bribed or blackmailed)?

I’m surprised no media people ever ask that of any wayward politician such as ryan. Sure, the politician being asked will more than likely say no, but it’s such an important AND resonable question, so reporters should ask it.

Paul Ryan is being an @sshole in a state that Trump won. He can be beaten at the ballot box and/or beaten into submission. I hope DJT will hold many rallies like the one I’m going to in Phoenix. I hope these big enthusiastic rallies scare the cr@p out of RINO weasels like Ryan.

No Trump didn’t.

Paul Ryan messed up the country and is complicit in the destruction of the last 8 years.

I support Trump.

I do NOT support Ryan.
