House Speaker Paul Ryan spoke up forcefully in a Facebook post on Monday against the recent violence in Charlottesville and the death of Heather Heyer, the woman killed when a car plowed into a group of counter protestors.
“There are no sides,” Ryan wrote in an implicit critique of President Donald Trump, who was rebuked by Democrats and Republicans last week for blaming “both sides” for the violence between white supremacists and counterprotesters in Charlottesville.
“There is no other argument,” Ryan said in the post, which made no mention of Trump. “We will not tolerate this hateful ideology in our society.”
Ryan -- who called white supremacy “repulsive” in a statement after Trump’s freewheeling and contentious press conference last Tuesday at Trump Tower -- went on to decry neo-Nazis and their ideology.
“We all need to make clear there is no moral relativism when it comes to neo-Nazis,” Ryan said. “The notion that anyone is intrinsically superior to anyone else runs completely counter to our founding principles.”

What he means is, If it comes from whitey we don't want to hear it... But if it comes from the commies or black folk it's perfectly all right...
History tells us that siding with nothing leaves you dead and irrelevant, contributing nothing to the advancement of our existence.
Ryan’s actions are all pre-meditated. He has hated Trump from way back in the primaries and has done everything he can to sabotage him once Trump had the nomination, and after Trump was sworn in as President. Ryan is 100% Uni-party and wants Trump gone at all costs.
Ryan, the media, and the left are presenting us with this infuriating false choice: If you oppose the Antifa/BLM/anarcho-communist crowd, who claim they are fighting Nazis, then you are siding with the latter.
I’ll stick with my position of opposing both, thank you very much.
Wrong, Ryan. There is only one side but two factions; the Nazi-KKK-white nationalist faction and the occupy-resist-Antifa faction. Both factions are products of the political left, and like Shiite and Sunni, both are evil.
Ryan is an idiot.
OTOH, maybe not. Nazis and BLM/ANTIFA are the different sides of a very thin coin.
What is required is that you follow the rule of law and protect freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
Period.
What a freakin' ahole.

Ryan, since you don't DO anything other than criticize Trump, just stay home and collect your paychecks.
Well McCain is a paid Democrat stooge (took donations from Hillary) itd be interesting to research Ryan’s funding.
What a dolt Ryan is.
There are sides:
1. Law and Order
2. Violence and Mayhem
Pick one.
Once again I'll state that the reason for the Ryan and GOPe hatred of Trump is that he did not pay his party dues, get in line and wait his turn.
“What? No sides?” - Eric Cartman
So obvious it hurts!!
The word “poltroon” comes to mind.
I don’t understand the how and why of it but Ryan is burrowed in like a tick.
Trump was advised by various GOPe honchos, not to pick a fight with Ryan and his ilk, but that only advantages Ryan, who freely kneecaps POTUS whenever it suits him.
No sides? Really? What a dumb***
“We will not tolerate this hateful ideology in our society.”
I want the hateful ideology tolerated. Under our constitution they have that right. Debate them with better ideas. Prove to people why their hateful ideology is wrong but tolerate it we must. And I don’t want Paul Ryan or anyone else deciding what is hateful.
These asshats peeve me off more and more everyday with their inane comments.
Like Romney except that whatever Romney drools, it stays on his own shirt. He’s of no consequence and may be safely ignored. Ryan brings projectile hazmat to the conversation. :(
