Jake Tapper Presses Paul Ryan on Trump Support: This Must Be Embarrassing-No Jake, they're shameless
The retiring House speaker refused to criticize President Trump even as he begins a yearlong lame-duck status.
House Speaker Paul Ryan appeared Wednesday afternoon on CNN to discuss his premature retirement from Congress. But first, The Lead anchor Jake Tapper just had to ask him for his take on the latest cloud of scandal surrounding President Donald Trump.
This must bother you, Tapper told Ryan. Access Hollywood, Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, at a certain point it must be embarrassing.
As he has done before, Ryan claimed not to have even read the recent New York Times report regarding the FBI raid of Trump lawyer Michael Cohens office, though, he added, hes obviously familiar with the situation.
Were pretty focused on getting our work done here and so this is something that Ill let you guys speculate about. Right now, Im busy trying to get things done in Congress. We have a big agenda and that is where my focus is and I dont have much punditry to offer you on this.
