Paul Ryan may have just endorsed Donald Trump, but this week he unleashed his harshest words against the presumptive GOP nominee.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan says he “fundamentally disagrees” with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s comment about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, calling it “the textbook definition of a racist comment.”
“I disavow these comments. I regret these comments that he made,” Ryan stated during a press conference Tuesday morning. “Claiming a person can’t do a job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable, but do I believe that Hillary Clinton is the answer? No, I do not.”
Trump was quick to explain the reasoning behind his comments in a post written on his own campaign website:
It is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of Mexican heritage. I am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent. The American justice system relies on fair and impartial judges. All judges should be held to that standard. I do not feel that one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial,but, based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial.
Over the past few weeks, I have watched as the media has reported one inaccuracy after another concerning the ongoing litigation involving Trump University. There are several important facts the public should know and that the media has failed to report.
One such important fact is no doubt Judge Curiel’s alleged connections to leftist group La Raza. Trump’s condemnations were not because of ethnicity, but immigration ideology.
